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)

hath been taught them, that believe in the Law of God: Nevertheless, at evening, they were themselves of the number of Infidels, peradventure they will be converted. Believe not, but such as follow your own Law; Say to them, The true guide, is the guide of God.

Have you not approved it? Have you not received what was promised unto you? We have received it; be therefore witnesses against your selves, and against them that have followed
