A14104	A shorte and pithie discourse, concerning the engendring, tokens, and effects of all earthquakes in generall particularly applyed and conferred with that most strange and terrible worke of the Lord in shaking the earth, not only within the citie of London, but also in most partes of all Englande: vvhich hapned vpon VVensday in Easter weeke last past, which was the sixt day of April, almost at sixe a clocke in the euening, in the yeare of our Lord God. 1580. Written by T.T. the 13. of April. 1580.	Twyne, Thomas, 1543-1613.	1580 (1580)	STC 24413; ESTC S118790	14,356	23

be_v hear_v a_o noise_n like_o the_o work_n of_o the_o sea_n a_o far_o of_o which_o nevertheless_o do_v not_o always_o import_v a_o earthquake_n for_o that_o peradventure_o the_o exhalation_n be_v not_o sufficient_a in_o quantity_n or_o quality_n to_o shake_v the_o earth_n but_o only_o it_o bellow_v or_o bark_v at_o the_o departure_n as_o a_o gun_n be_v discharge_v give_v the_o big_a or_o lesser_a crack_n according_a to_o the_o quantity_n or_o ramminge_n more_o or_o less_o of_o the_o powder_n &_o yet_o make_v some_o noise_n when_o it_o be_v discharge_v although_o the_o powder_n be_v not_o of_o sufficient_a force_n to_o make_v the_o piece_n shake_v or_o recoil_v 7._o as_o touchinge_v other_o accident_n that_o be_v note_v over_o and_o above_o to_o accompany_v and_o follow_v

thereunto_o as_o be_v already_o declare_v and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n special_o and_o above_o all_o thing_n note_v that_o a_o little_a before_o and_o even_o at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o earthquake_n the_o sun_n be_v darken_v without_o a_o cloud_n which_o be_v long_o of_o the_o spirit_n that_o break_v forth_o which_o fill_v the_o air_n take_v away_o the_o bright_a beam_n of_o the_o sun_n from_o our_o sight_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o thin_a mist_n 8._o the_o morning_n be_v calm_a and_o cold_a before_o a_o earthquake_n happen_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o hot_a spirit_n or_o breath_n which_o be_v include_v within_o the_o earth_n and_o also_o after_o the_o sun_n set_v the_o sky_n be_v clear_a for_o that_o the_o matter_n be_v soon_o disperse_v and_o often_o time_n there_o be_v see_v in_o the_o element_n a_o long_a narrow_a cloud_n stretch_v forth_o which_o be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o a_o earthquake_n mark_v but_o to_o speak_v of_o some_o consequentes_fw-la that_o do_v follow_v they_o for_o the_o most_o part_n although_o god_n have_v his_o special_a work_n according_a to_o his_o good_a providence_n in_o they_o yet_o be_v these_o such_o as_o the_o natural_a philosopher_n have_v observe_v most_o often_o to_o ensue_v &_o may_v not_o convenient_o be_v omit_v by_o i_o in_o this_o recital_n for_o special_a purpose_n 9_o sometime_o therefore_o after_o a_o earthquake_n great_a sloare_n of_o water_n have_v break_v forth_o of_o the_o earth_n as_o be_v drive_v out_o by_o the_o exhalation_n earthquake_n in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o sea_n and_o other_o river_n have_v overflow_v their_o bank_n and_o procure_v certain_a particular_a dilugy_n or_o drowninge_n of_o town_n and_o country_n and_o many_o time_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o forcible_a burst_v out_o of_o the_o spirit_n mighty_a heap_n of_o stone_n have_v be_v throw_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o great_a admiration_n of_o the_o beholder_n the_o sea_n likewise_o have_v be_v see_v to_o rage_v wonderful_o as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v move_v by_o very_o foul_a weather_n and_o land_n have_v be_v lyft_v up_o whereas_o be_v never_o any_o before_o and_o main_n landes_n divide_v where_o before_o be_v never_o sea_n and_o moreover_o it_o have_v be_v know_v that_o a_o earthquake_n have_v continue_v the_o space_n of_o forty_o day_n almost_o without_o intermission_n yea_o of_o two_o year_n more_o or_o less_o about_o one_o place_n which_o happen_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o multitude_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o strong_a resistance_n of_o the_o side_n of_o the_o tavernous_a place_n wherein_o the_o spirit_n be_v contain_v 10._o to_o be_v short_a the_o manner_n of_o the_o shake_n of_o every_o earthquake_n be_v of_o three_o sort_n sort_n for_o either_o it_o shake_v towards_o one_o side_n and_o be_v like_o a_o certain_a tremble_a or_o rock_v &_o this_o be_v a_o token_n of_o great_a store_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o exhalation_n or_o else_o it_o lift_v right_o up_o in_o the_o mid_n &_o let_v fall_v again_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o pulse_n or_o other_o beat_n vein_n of_o y_fw-fr e_o body_n and_o this_o kind_n shake_v more_o and_o be_v most_o dangerous_a and_o testify_v that_o there_o be_v much_o more_o plenty_n of_o the_o spirit_n or_o exhalation_n lie_v deep_a beneathe_n in_o the_o bottom_n or_o else_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v compound_v of_o they_o twain_o and_o at_o the_o same_o instant_n do_v both_o rock_n and_o lift_v up_o the_o earth_n together_o and_o with_o the_o diversity_n of_o motion_n &_o dance_v as_o it_o be_v it_o rattle_v and_o but_v the_o house_n &_o building_n together_o yet_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o none_o fall_v but_o the_o one_o be_v rather_o a_o stay_n unto_o the_o other_o &_o this_o discover_v plenty_n of_o the_o substance_n after_o both_o the_o

action_n and_o conflict_n between_o the_o contain_v &_o the_o contain_v be_v most_o dreadful_a quake_v of_o the_o earth_n tremble_v of_o house_n shake_v of_o building_n amaze_a of_o the_o people_n &_o doubt_v of_o far_a harm_n but_o where_o it_o please_v god_n that_o they_o rage_n with_o great_a vehemency_n there_o follow_v far_o more_o outrageous_a misery_n as_o sudden_a overthrow_v of_o house_n &_o building_n subversion_n of_o whole_a town_n &_o city_n unprepared_a death_n of_o thousand_o of_o people_n &_o sometime_o the_o utter_a subversion_n of_o whole_a kingdom_n &_o nation_n and_o this_o much_o suffice_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o they_o in_o general_n earthquake_n 12._o now_o therefore_o if_o by_o your_o patience_n it_o may_v be_v grant_v let_v we_o a_o while_n compare_v some_o part_n of_o these_o general_a token_n and_o accident_n with_o this_o our_o particular_a earthquake_n since_o these_o for_o the_o most_o part_n as_o i_o have_v say_v be_v in_o sum_n the_o observation_n of_o the_o learned_a in_o philosophy_n concern_v such_o matter_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o be_v the_o better_a able_a to_o discern_v of_o this_o wonderful_a work_n of_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v mere_a

nor_o i_o perceyve_v any_o such_o thing_n at_o all_o but_o the_o lord_n have_v his_o providence_n and_o his_o work_n be_v marvellous_a nature_n 13_o but_o that_o the_o sun_n the_o planet_n and_o other_o star_n be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n aswell_o of_o a_o earthquake_n as_o of_o the_o raise_n of_o a_o comet_n or_o any_o other_o fiery_a impression_n or_o meteor_n consider_v y_o e_o evident_a force_n of_o those_o heavenly_a body_n in_o daily_o experience_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n for_o that_o he_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o cause_n in_o all_o his_o work_n of_o nature_n have_v
