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

the_o earth_n most_o miserable_a then_o be_v the_o estate_n and_o condition_n of_o a_o people_n or_o a_o land_n when_o the_o sin_n of_o that_o people_n or_o land_n become_v to_o be_v cry_v sin_n for_o
