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.

else_o it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v a_o apostasy_n or_o fall_v from_o righteous_a principle_n to_o a_o scandalous_a and_o corrupt_a walk_v now_o who_o more_o complain_v against_o the_o king_n and_o bishop_n for_o their_o miscarriage_n whilst_o they_o stand_v than_o those_o man_n who_o miscarriage_n since_o have_v be_v far_o worse_o in_o the_o very_a same_o particular_n wherein_o the_o other_o be_v charge_v i_o need_v not_o give_v instance_n it_o be_v possible_a this_o parliament_n may_v have_v occasion_n to_o remember_v the_o old_a court_n and_o the_o new_a and_o the_o old_a bishop_n and_o the_o new_a bishop_n if_o they_o do_v there_o be_v hope_n then_o that_o the_o great_a grievance_n of_o the_o nation_n will_v be_v remove_v and_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n restore_v 3._o in_o that_o way_n which_o apostate_n seek_v to_o cover_v their_o apostasy_n do_v the_o lord_n discover_v both_o it_o and_o they_o what_o be_v the_o way_n they_o take_v to_o have_v their_o apostasy_n hide_v

which_o they_o have_v take_v up_o and_o the_o truth_n be_v be_v these_o man_n more_o self-seeking_a covetous_a proud_a etc._n etc._n then_o they_o be_v yet_o this_o alone_a will_v not_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v the_o late_a apostate_n unless_o with_o those_o vice_n and_o sin_n they_o have_v also_o a_o form_n of_o godliness_n that_o be_v do_v preach_v pray_v fast_o and_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n

and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o to_o be_v see_v as_o visible_o and_o plain_o as_o be_v the_o leprosy_n in_o gehazi_n forehead_n if_o the_o reader_n do_v desire_v more_o to_o inform_v himself_o in_o this_o matter_n i_o shall_v refer_v he_o to_o a_o treatise_n entitle_v the_o time_n of_o the_o end_n at_o pag._n 36_o etc._n etc._n where_o all_o the_o character_n of_o the_o last_o apostasy_n be_v full_o open_v have_v speak_v of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o shake_v of_o the_o earth_n i_o come_v now_o to_o deliver_v my_o thought_n concern_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o second_o shake_n for_o of_o the_o first_o i_o have_v speak_v and_o by_o who_o the_o work_n will_v be_v do_v and_o last_o my_o reason_n wherefore_o i_o think_v the_o time_n of_o this_o late_a shake_n be_v nigh_o the_o scripture_n which_o i_o shall_v a_o little_a treat_v of_o be_v in_o rev._n 11.13_o and_o the_o same_o hour_n be_v there_o a_o great_a earthquake_n and_o the_o ten_o part_n of_o the_o city_n fall_v and_o in_o the_o earthquake_n be_v slay_v of_o man_n seven_o thousand_o and_o the_o remnant_n be_v affright_v and_o give_v glory_n to_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n i_o have_v think_v sometime_o that_o this_o earthquake_n and_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o first_o vial_n have_v contemporize_v and_o be_v all_o one_o thing_n but_o serious_o observe_v again_o the_o place_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o this_o earthquake_n will_v be_v before_o any_o vial_n be_v pour_v out_o and_o shall_v be_v a_o forerunner_n as_o john_n baptist_n be_v to_o christ_n that_o be_v prepare_v or_o make_v way_n for_o the_o vial_n about_o the_o time_n of_o this_o earthquake_n in_o the_o same_o hour_n say_v the_o text_n the_o witness_n ascend_v up_o to_o heaven_n in_o a_o cloud_n if_o by_o the_o witness_n here_o we_o understand_v fifth-monarchy-man_n and_o their_o work_n to_o be_v about_o the_o more_o pure_a and_o spiritual_a part_n of_o

universal_a but_o rather_o a_o state_n earthquake_n in_o one_o nation_n although_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o will_v be_v wonderful_a even_o to_o the_o shake_n and_o overturning_a of_o all_o the_o power_n of_o this_o world_n moreover_o as_o in_o scripture_n we_o find_v many_o time_n part_v take_v for_o the_o whole_a so_o in_o prophecy_n as_o appear_v act._n 2.16_o 17._o with_o joel_n 2.28_o

the_o prophecy_n of_o the_o last_o time_n as_o to_o their_o accomplishment_n at_o first_o they_o will_v be_v very_o dark_a and_o dubious_a true_o i_o think_v without_o special_a enlighten_v by_o the_o
