Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford. Re-processed by University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Northwestern, with changes to facilitate morpho-syntactic tagging. Gap elements of known extent have been transformed into placeholder characters or elements to simplify the filling in of gaps by user contributors. EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO. EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org). The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source. Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data. Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so. Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor. The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines. Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

ANd what shall I Cry , Oh! the day of the Lord God hasteneth , and is coming upon all proud Flesh , upon the Lofty and the High-minded , upon all the tall Cedars ; and the Sword of the Lord God is drawn to cut down all fruitless Trees : And this is the Cry of the Lord God of Heaven , which is gone forth against you unjust Justices , with all the false Judges , with whom we are to contend for the Truth and Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ , who is come again with Power and great Glory ; against whom , the Rulers and the Judges of the Earth take Counsel , who are combinding together against the Lord of Glory , and his holy Anointed , who are blessed for ever : And this is the day of the Lord God , wherein we warn you , again and again , to repent of your evil Deeds , your Works of Darkness , which you are working in the Night which is over you . Behold thick Darkness hath covered you , and the Clouds of the Night hath infolded you , and your Eyes are yet blinded , that you cannot see the Signes of the Times , nor yet discern the Coming of the Son of Man ; surely , if you did but see the glimerings of the day of God , you would not thus make War against his glorious appearance : A Lamentation could I take up for you , as the Lord Jesus did over Jerusalem of old , who killed the Prophets , who stoned them that were sent to Preach Repentance , over whom he wept and said , Oh Jerusalem , Jerusalem ! that killest the Prophets , and stonest them that were sent unto thee ; do you not do the same , who are Halling and Persecuting , and Imprisoning the innocent People , who fear the Lord God , and for no other thing do Suffer for , but for Truth , and for Righteousness sake ; a woful Day is coming upon you all from the righteous God of Heaven , who hath determined to bring it , and it is even at your doors , although you will not believe it , although it be declared unto you ; you Despisers and Wonderers , you shall surely perish if you Repent not ; and as sure as the Lord liveth , he will plead with you , by the Sword of his Eternal Vengeance ; and woe unto you who are decreeing unrighteous Decrees , who are seeking by all subtilty to ensnare the Just ; but away with your Abominations , we see the subtilty of the Devil , whose Servants ye are , and so we may call you , as Christ did your Fore-fathers , who said , they were of the Seed of Abraham their Father , but they were of their Father the Devil , whose Works they did . The same you do now , and the Vengeance of God must come upon you , then shall you see the King of Glory appear in Flames of consuming Fire , rewarding you , the Workers of Iniquity ; then shall the witness of God be awakned in every one of your Consciences , although it be now as it were asleep , although the Son of God is slain in the Streets of Sodom , when the Blood of the Covenant is trampled under by you the uncircumcised in Heart and Ears , who cannot indure the Truth when it is spoken ; but there is a witness of God in every Conscience of you ; this you shall know awakned in the Day that is coming , and this shall arise to your Condemnation , and then your Consciences condemning you , God is greater , and will condemn you also ; and then whither will you fly ? I tell you the Mountains shall not cover you , neither shall the Rocks hide you from the Flames of his Wrath , when he appeareth to Judgement : Therefore you Judges on Earth come forth , arise you Dead to the Judgement of the great day of the Lord God , who is arising to Judge you according to your Works ; therefore I say in the Power of the living God , and by his holy Spirit , you shall be unthroned , and thrown down , the mouth of the Lord of Host hath spoken it ; and your Kingdom shall be laid waste , and your dwelling Places made desolate without Inhabitants ; your Habitation is a habitation of unclean Spirits , the Devil keepeth your House , by whose Power you Rule ; but woe unto the Earth , and to the Sea , for the Devil is come down , having great Rage , because his Kingdom is to be destroyed ; and woe unto the Rulers of this present Age , who are Vessels of Wrath , who are fitted for Destruction , in whom the Prince of this World lodgeth , and by his Power you think to make the Sons of God bow ; nay , the Authority of the heavenly Power in which we stand , shall bind you all , you Kings and Princes of the Earth ; the Dominion of our God raigneth over Hell and Death , and above you , in the King of Heavens Authority , and you shall bow and bend unto the Power in which we dwell ; and the Lord God hath put it into my Heart to expostulate this matter , and to contend for the Faith and Truth of the Lord Jesus , against whom you Rulers of the Earth are taking Counsel , and making War against ; but your Counsellor God will confound , and your Counsels shall be dasht in pieces , and your unrighteous Decrees shall be confounded , and you shall never be able to make an end of the Work which you have begun , it will be too pondrous for you ; and this Testimony we have to bear for the living God , against you the Oppressors of his Truth ; and Truth and Righteousness shall be again established in the Earth , although it is become a Sting and a Torment , yet the Truth , the living Stone shall dash you to pieces , and grinde you to powder ; therefore tremble , dread and fear the God of Host , who will terribly shake the Foundations and Pillars of the Earth , before whom you shall Quake and Tremble ; then shall you know that the God of the Quakers is a consuming Fire , which will render Vengeance upon you all , whose day you shall not escape . Therefore I say tremble , Oh Earth , ye Judges and Rulers stand in awe of the dreadful God , who is coming with thousands of his Angels to Judge the World , and you shall all know his power to your Everlasting Destruction , if you submit not to his Government , which is Righteous , Holy and True , and is upon his shoulders ; and because of Injustice the Land mourns , and because of false Judgement great is the Oppression ; and instead of Justice behold Oppression is found amongst you , who are looking for Bribes , and Rewards , and Gifts , which hath blinded your Eyes : And so by the deceitfulness of Sin , you are led into Captivity by the Prince of this World , who Ruleth in the Earthly minded , who covets after Earthly things , whose Hearts are filled with unclean Lusts ; these are not the Temples of God , but these are Vessels filled with uncleanness and abomination , against whom the Cry of the Lord is gone forth , who will meet them with sudden Destruction ; and the day hastens , that was never the like , nor ever the like shall be after it , the great and notable Day , the mighty and terrible Day , which is near to be revealed ; I say the like was never , nor shall be the like after it , so dreadful , so terrible , shall be the day of God upon his Enemies , that no Flesh shall be saved that liveth in Corruption ; and woe unto the World for they shall mourn and weep bitterly , and mens Hearts shall fail them for fear , and they shall run up and down as men amazed , and looking for those things which shall come upon the Earth ; for the Tribes of the earth shall mourn , and great Sorrow and Desolation shall come on all that are found out of the Covenant of the Lord God ; and no other hiding-place shall be found , but the holy Ark of God , into which the Righteous shall enter , but the Wicked and Rebellious shall be destroyed by Fire and by Sword. So this was upon my Spirit from God to declare and publish , as a faithful Testimony and Warning ; published by me , Dorothy White .
