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.

great_a seem_v to_o be_v leave_v out_o here_o to_o distinguish_v between_o the_o two_o city_n or_o two_o apostasy_n and_o this_o in_o the_o text_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o late_a

in_o the_o street_n of_o the_o great_a city_n it_o be_v well_o observe_v by_o many_o that_o the_o greek_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d i._n e._n a_o broad_a or_o spacious_a place_n do_v not_o

we_o may_v conclude_v two_o thing_n 1._o the_o two_o witness_n be_v not_o slay_v in_o their_o testimony_n by_o any_o civil_a power_n that_o hold_v the_o pope_n head_n of_o the_o church_n neither_o

indeed_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o martyr_n will_v be_v charge_v upon_o the_o first_o apostasy_n but_o the_o slay_v of_o the_o witness_n upon_o the_o second_o apostasy_n therefore_o let_v church-member_n and_o church-officer_n and_o other_o professor_n of_o religion_n look_v to_o it_o for_o to_o speak_v sober_o and_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n this_o be_v my_o opinion_n and_o i_o think_v ground_v upon_o scripture_n and_o practice_n the_o blood_n of_o the_o witness_n will_v be_v require_v at_o their_o hand_n for_o never_o have_v the_o bottomless_a beast_n murder_v so_o bless_v a_o cause_n and_o so_o glorious_a a_o testimony_n for_o christ_n and_o his_o kingdom_n as_o be_v in_o this_o nation_n have_v they_o stand_v faithful_a to_o the_o good_a old_a cause_n 2._o though_o the_o power_n by_o which_o the_o witness_n be_v slay_v be_v not_o from_o the_o great_a city_n yet_o it_o be_v for_o it_o that_o be_v it_o do_v more_o strengthen_v and_o support_v the_o great_a whore_n
