Zach. 12. And they shall look upon him, whom they have pierced: And they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for an onely, &c. and shall be in bitterness for him, as one is in bitterness for his first born.

THese as by way of comparison set forth: This prophesie appointed for a sign also requisite, since Faith in high things always slow.

Ionas as alotted then for the resurrections sign, of which took essay: Such a three days rest and nights three; And the suns retiring so many degrees that high favor to Hezekiah, Likewise of the leavings in the cup, happy Hastings this first born, an onely Son, partakes one of no inferior Family: Taking his leave of this life, whose first days rest taken, on the Lords day; Saying my lovers and friends hast thou [Page] put away far from me (Psal.) whose death and obsequies (bewaild of no few) assigned for a warning piece of those very perilous days stoln upon us: When say peace and safety, then sudden destruction, Thes. x. And they shall not escape even the general day of Iudgements forerunner: whereof Apocalips thus, Behold he cometh in the clouds, and every eye shall see him; and they also that have pierced him; and all the Kindreds of the Earth shall wail, &c. And thus of one so hopeful committed to no simple Doctors, through too much suddenness or ignorance, as that way who can plead not guilty, by letting blood was cast away; upon whom because of this cast suit of cloths bestowed on him of his Masters, They shall look upon him whom they have pierced, &c.

Let none with an evil eye look [Page] thereon: And so passing on with several coats of houses born inclusive, adorning the Herse, as dedicated to our Jerusalem of the Gentiles, And in that day there shall be a great mourning in Ierusalem, as the mourning in Hadadrimmon, in the valley of Megiddon, the house of Huntingdon of which participates: Also in London, every family apart mourning and their wives, &c. Of the royal Branches, like the House of David, all of them be wayling apart, &c. likewise from that ominous name, called Megiddon impart, it is done, Behold he comes making the sable clouds his chariot: solemnized Heaven and Earths Funerals, these great lights extinguished, The Sun become as sackcloth of hair, The Moon as blood, The Stars falling, &c. answerable to that loud voice, Revel. 16.

Done it is, gathered in that place [Page] called in Heb. Armagedon, when every yle fled away, &c. from whose Name importing diligence, Hastings who lost no time himself, declares much more what hastning required, and looking unto that day, at whose appearing Heavens and Elements dissolves and melts, &c. VVherefore, for instruction sake adds, when ye see these come to pass, And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Ierusalem, the Spirit of Grace. So be sure then time to look up, &c. And this for another, and in that day I will make Ierusalem a heavy stone for all people, &c. As extraordinary blessings rejected, no ordinary corrections incurring inseparable evermore, besides such distraction so giddy, that plague increasing daily too, or curse of tax leavied, as witness whether fullfilled: and in that day (saith the Lord) [Page] I will smite every horse with astonishment, and the rider with madness: and in that day will I seek to destroy all nations, that come against Ierusalem, &c. and in that day (saith the Lord) I will cut off the names of the Idols out of the land. And such like demonstrations shewing out of request, the name Saint drownd in oblivion, such an eye sore at this time unto many.

And passing forward also, whether that waiter on the latter days, Esdras testimony, termd Apocrypha, or miscalled, speaks not the present condition presaging, the sons of the Church, Sion her sons cut off that fraternity; whilst deeply musing upon their departure from the Law, grown to such a low ebbe or degree, the law though still in force, like the Spirit of prophesie supposed transmitted not beyond the primitive times, [Page] as gross as Romish miracles, without tryal Esdras informs, saw such a mournful mother, chang'd his cogitations, she replying, Sir let me alone; yet afterward thus after so long time, that had a son then nourished by her with so much travel, grown up, came to take him a wife, when fell down and died, the house turnd upside (as though) overthrew the lights fleeing the city, &c. into which Park or Field fled, purposed to take up her rest; whereupon her passion to divert, spreads that catalogue of confusion the present case greatest of all Sion, the mother of all, delivered into hands of hateful Iaylors a captive: Spoken to Sion her self, at whose fearful voice cast out the earth shook, which besides her Sons farewel, some future thing reveals, a prophetical voycc, &c. And new Jerusalem in her place, &c.

And for the vissage mard or disfigured, wiped off so soon by the resurrection hope, as matters not, though obvious to beholders at such time; VVhen beauty turnd into ashes, [Page] which Light about ten extinguished at night, injoyed no small happiness, in this the time of sickness, in scarce complained of pain, Heretofore inclining to the Royal Party: Hastings prophesied of by Esdras the Prophet, as Josias his Birth, so long before concerning that reformation, when those priests cut off, foreshewed their judgement, &c.

And for Esdras that new song of his, so much suffice: And new Ierusalem at hand, no material city, whose face all Light and Lustre: And for these useful materials, Giving all warning not unprovided to be of the wedding garment; Threatning the downfal of the rough garment from head to foot, soars and blains their candlestick reward: And so make haste Lord God, Amen.

Editorial practices

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 <gap>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).
