A02058	An alarum to England sounding the most fearefull and terrible example of Gods vengeance, that euer was inflicted in this world vpon mankind for sinne: seruing generally as a warning for all people to eschew sinne, lest they partake of the like vengeance. By Robert Gray, preacher of the Word of God.	Gray, Robert, 16th/17th cent.	1609 (1609)	STC 12203; ESTC S120400	50,215	146

these_o silly_a dumb_a creature_n it_o be_v a_o marvel_n that_o they_o do_v not_o break_v their_o league_n with_o man_n and_o shake_v off_o the_o yoke_n of_o obedience_n towards_o he_o it_o be_v a_o

to_o abraham_n 18.20_o because_o the_o cry_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n be_v great_a and_o because_o their_o sin_n be_v exceed_o grievous_a i_o will_v go_v down_o now_o say_v the_o lord_n sin_n
