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)

impietie, you shall exercise no hostilitie against them, but only against the wicked: If they fight you in the moneth of Mharam, you shall fight them also in that same moneth, and observe a reciprocation in honours. Offend them that shall offend you in that moneth, in the same manner that they shall have offended you.

Having finished your Orisons, remember God with affection, as your Fathers remembred you; There be among the people, that say, Lord give us good in this world, and have no part in the other. Others there be, that say, Lord bestow on us the good of this world, Paradise in
