An Humble WARNING From the Presaging EARTHQUAKE Sept. 8. 1692.
Plague, Fire and Earthquakes are amongst the most terrible Judgments, whereby the great and holy God doth manifest his sore displeasure against a sinful People, and his indignation and hatred of their heinous and crying Sins. These three have befallen London. The first in the GREAT DYING Year, 1665. the second in the GREAT BURNING Year 1666. and the last in the GREAT TREMBLING present Year 1692. and the Month of September is remarkable in all these. The Plague (as I remember) being then at the highest, the great Fire began on Septemb. 2. and the Earthquake was on the Eighth of the same Month; on which day of the Month Josephus de bel. Jud. lib. 7. cap. 18. writes thus; Jerusalem was taken the second year of Vespasian's reign on the eighth day of September, and having been already five times before surprised, it was finally again destroyed. This was London's trembling, but ⟨image ?⟩(through the great Power Patience and Mercy of God) not its falling day.
