A VVARNING TO All in this proud City called London to call them to Repentance, least the Wrath of the Lord break out against them; this is the day of your visitation if you will own it.

VVO unto thee O London, (so called by name) who hast made a profession of Christ; but hast cleared thy self from Christ, who lives in the affections of lusts, for who are Christs have Crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts; your pride stinks before the Lord, your glory and renown must wither: plagues, wo and misery, and vengeance from God, is coming upon you all, you proud and lofty ones, who have been the Adversaries of God, your profession stinks before the Lord, pride and hardheartedness abounds, cruelty and oppression grows & abounds in your Streets, and such are you that would know meanings to the Scriptures, and cries for meanings, meanings, and which lives in your conceivings, which must be scattered from the Lord God, and from the Life which gave forth the Scriptures, for you have here cleared your selves from the life which was in them which gave forth the Scriptures, for the Life which gave forth the Scriptures, hews down pride and oppression, and envious ones, and lusts hardheartedness, which thy streets are ful of: And O London thou art full of Inventions, and full of Images and Image-makers, Pictures, glassed hoods, vails, and round atire like the Moon; let the Life which gave forth the Scriptures search thee, and Judg thee, and bring thee under Conedmnation, for these things art thou guilty of, O how doth all excess abound, and pride and lusts, and filthiness, which stinks before the Lord God, and the smell of it is come up amongst his children, Plagues, plagues, plagues, is to be poured upon thee; how beautiful art thou in thy colours, and in thy changeable suits of Apparrel, and thy dainty dishes, Dives like, who was turned into Hell; the Life which gave forth the Scriptures, shall Judg thee Eternally, and the Life it lyes upon thee Judging thee: Over all the heads of the wicked, heads of the oppressors, heads of the proud, the Devil is King; wo is pronounced from the Life of God upon thee, who hath drawn out his Sword, to hew thee to peices, and to thresh thee; to scatter you all as chaff with the wind, to burn you as stubble with the fire, The Mouth of the Lord hath spoken it; this is the portion of all the wicked. To the just and them that fear the Lord I say, come out of her ways lest you be consumed with her, that you may give Judgment upon the Whore, that sits upon so many waters, least you be partakers of her plagues, hearken to God and hear him; for the Rod of God is over you, and you must come under it, for your Whoredom and for your pride and oppression, and hypocrisie and desembling, the Lord will find you all out, for his Mighty day is coming, to all your consciences I speak; which hath been convinced but hath not repented, torment, torment, the fire is kindled, wo unto you all; plotters to do mischief, who are not single to God: Wo unto you all stubborn hard hearted ones, the Life which gave forth the Scriptures lyes upon thee, Judging thee, and this is the Word of the Lord to you all, to that in all your consciences I speak, which will witness me, and condemn you, who live in these wicked practises.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

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).
