A79856	A two-fold shaking of the earth: or, an exposition on Heb. 12.26, 27 Wherein is shewed, the first shaking of the earth, seems to be meant the putting down of the late King and bishops: the later shaking, a change of the present government. And reasons given for both. Also how, and in what manner this later earth-shaking may be according to scripture-prophesie: namely, by that earth-quake, Rev. 11.13 which is likewise opened. Lastly, here are many reasons given, why it may be hoped that this present parliament will prove to be that earth-quake (or at least begin the work) whereby the good old cause will be revived, the just rights of the people restored, and the nation setled upon a lasting and durable foundation of truth and righteousness.

parliament_n be_v too_o quick_a and_o therefore_o a_o new_a instrument_n must_v be_v devise_v to_o save_v the_o nation_n now_o i_o hope_v there_o be_v no_o wrong_n do_v to_o the_o tryer_n if_o this_o
