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.

the_o two-shaking_n for_o howsoever_o the_o lord_n do_v both_o and_o in_o the_o first_o shake_v there_o be_v great_a expectation_n and_o hope_n of_o much_o good_a by_o it_o yet_o through_o the_o

methinks_v there_o be_v something_o here_o though_o it_o lie_v like_o gold_n close_o in_o the_o earth_n very_o observable_a there_o be_v two_o shake_n but_o the_o word_n voice_n be_v but_o once_o

therefore_o come_v now_o to_o set_v down_o what_o i_o humble_o conceive_v may_v be_v from_o the_o forename_a scripture_n right_o gather_v not_o restrain_v the_o text_n to_o our_o present_a time_n or_o
