A14104	A shorte and pithie discourse, concerning the engendring, tokens, and effects of all earthquakes in generall particularly applyed and conferred with that most strange and terrible worke of the Lord in shaking the earth, not only within the citie of London, but also in most partes of all Englande: vvhich hapned vpon VVensday in Easter weeke last past, which was the sixt day of April, almost at sixe a clocke in the euening, in the yeare of our Lord God. 1580. Written by T.T. the 13. of April. 1580.	Twyne, Thomas, 1543-1613.	1580 (1580)	STC 24413; ESTC S118790	14,356	23

be_v hear_v a_o noise_n like_o the_o work_n of_o the_o sea_n a_o far_o of_o which_o nevertheless_o do_v not_o always_o import_v a_o earthquake_n for_o that_o peradventure_o the_o exhalation_n be_v

or_o less_o about_o one_o place_n which_o happen_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o strong_a resistance_n of_o the_o side_n of_o the_o tavernous_a place_n wherein_o the_o
