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)

Scriptures which God hath sent you, you shall be without merit. Many of them through impiety and ignorance, pervert what is contained in the Scripture; afflict not thy selfe with the actions of the impious. The Jews, Samaritans, Christians, all that shall have believed in God, the Resurrection of the dead, and have done good works, shall be exempt from affliction, there is nothing for them to feare at the day of Judgment. We received of the Children of Israel a promise, to believe in our Prophets, and Apostles, Yet have they slandred many, and slain such as would not follow their appetites: they believed there was no punishment for their crimes and became deafe, and blinde; After this, God pardoned them, neverthelesse, they returned in their sinne, and are again become deaf, and blinde; God beholdeth all their deportments. Certainly, they who affirme the Messiah, the Son of Mary, to be God, are impious; the Messiah commanded the Children of Israel to worship God, his and their Lord; the entrance into Paradise is forbidden to him that shall say, God hath a companion equal to him, Hell shall be his habitation, and the unjust shall finde none to protect them at the day of judgment. Such as affirm there are three Gods, are impious: there is but one God; if they desist not from such discourse, they shall burn in the fire of Hell; if they turn, and implore pardon of God, he will be to them gracious and merciful. The Messiah, the Son of Mary, is a Prophet, and Apostle of God, like to the Prophets that came before him; his Mother is holy, and both of them did eat and drink. Consider how I manifest my unite to Infidels; how they blaspheme, and depart from the Truth; say to them, Will you worship instead of God, what can neither benefit, nor hurt you? God understandeth and knoweth all things. O ye that have knowledg of the written Law! speak of your Religion with reverence, and follow not the appetites of such as go astray, and walk in an evil way. The Infidels were accursed by the tongue of David, and of Messiah, the Son of Mary, because of their disobedience; they abstain not from things that are not approved; they do them, and through obstinacy will continue them.
