Alexander Ross, The Alcoran of Mahomet, translated out of Arabick into French, by the Sieur Du Ryer, Lord of Malezair, and resident for the French king, at Alexandria. And newly Englished, for the satisfaction of all that desire to look into the Turkish vanities. (1649)

part of men shall be saved, and the other shall be damned; had it pleased God, he had created them of one and the same Religion, he giveth his grace to whom he listeth, and Infidels shall be deprived of succour, because they have required the protection of Idols; but God is the true protector of the world: he reviveth the dead, and is omnipotent; he shall one day judg all the difficulties, and resolve all your doubts in your Religion, he is my Lord, I recommend my self to his divine Will; he created your wife of your selves, he created all beasts male and female, and caused you to multiply; there is not any thing like unto him, he keepeth the keyes of the treasures of heaven and earth, and taketh away, and giveth wealth as pleaseth him.

God hath sent the Alcoran with truth and ballance; he will not instruct thee when the day of Judgment shall be: Such as have no faith in him, ask when it shall come, and they that believe him, fear the coming thereof, and
