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)

the unjust shall be punished: The murther of his brother seemed easie and advantageous for him, he slew him, and is in the number of the Damned. God sent a Raven that made a pit in the Earth, and shewed him the manner to bury the body of his brother: Then said he, would to God I had been weak and impotent, that I were like to this Raven?

Knowest thou not that the Kingdome of Heaven, and of Earth is Gods? that he chastiseth and pardoneth whom it pleaseth him? and that he is Omnipotent? Oh Prophet! afflict not thy selfe, to behold them running to impietie; that say with the mouth, we believe, and have no faith in their hearts; neither for them that Judaize, and hearken to the lies of their Doctors, to relate them
