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)

what they had promised, and we cursed them, because of their impietie, by reason of the murther they committed without reason, on the persons of the Prophets, and of the words they uttered, viz. Our heart is hardned; Contrariwise, God imprinted infidelitie in their hearts, they shall never believe in his Law, except very few of them, because of their malice, and the blasphemies they vomited against Mary: they said, We have slain the Messiah, Jesus, the sonne of Mary, the Prophet and Apostle of God: Certainly they slew him not, neither crucified him, they crucified one among them that resembled him; such as doubt it are in a manifest error, and speak not but through opinion. Certainly they slew him not; on the contrary, God took him up to himself, he is Omnipotent and prudent in all his actions: Such as have the knowledge of Scripture, ought to believe in Jesus before his death, he shall be a witnesse against them of their actions at the day of Judgment; We have prohibited them that Judaize, by reason of their sin, things that were permitted them; We have prepared for them great torment, because they mislead the world from the right way, because they take Use that is forbidden them, and unjustly eat the substance of their neighbour. Such of them as are profound in Learning, and all the faithfull, believe in the Scriptures, both ancient, and modern; I will give great rewards to them that shall make their prayers at the time appointed, that shall pay Tithes, and believe in the day of Judgment.

Moses spake to God, as his Prophet, and Apostle; all declared his mercy, and preached the torments of Hell, to the end men might have no cause of excuse; God is Omnipotent and prudent in all his actions: He shall be witnesse that the Alcoran was sent to thee with his Commandments, the Angels likewise shall testifie it; but it ought to suffice
