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)

thou how the Angels said, oh Mary, God declareth unto thee a word, from which shall proceed the Messias, named Jesus, the sonne of Mary, full of honour in this world, and that shall be in the other, of the number of Intercessors with his divine Majestie; he shall speak in the cradle, as a man betwixt thirty and fifty years, and shall be in the number of the just: She said, Lord, how shall I have a childe, without the touch of a man? he answered, so God doth as pleaseth him; when he createth any thing, he saith, be thou, and it is.

Lord we believe in what thou hast commanded, and we have followed the Prophet, thy Apostle, write us in the number of them that profess thy Law. The Jews conspired against Jesus, and God caused their conspiracie to turn against them, he knoweth the designs of Conspirators. Remember thou, how the Lord said, O Jesus, I will cause thee to die, I will elevate thee to my self, and remove thee farre from Infidels, and preferre those that have obeyed thee, to Infidels, at the day of Judgment. That day
