A WORD of PITTY to the PROPHANE and to the UNRULY RULERS in this GENERATION.

OH People! when on your behalfs sorrow had filled my heart; the Word was unto me, Write: And, what shall I write? God hath pittied, God hath spared you till many thousands of you have sinned out the Day of your Visitation; and now there is no Remedy. In your unspeakable wickedness you have out-done the former Generations, and the mighty God of irresistable Power is suddenly to plead with you.

Oh! Is there no room among you to receive his Testimony, who hath felt the Wrath of God, revealed against the Man of Sin, in his own particular? who would now cry out among you in the ardour of his Soul, Repent, Repent, yet Repent, before ye be cut off: For, this I declare unto you, in the Name, and Authority of the Living God, and from a measure of his Counsel opened in me, That a shorter Day hath rarely remained to any Generation, than the little breathing that is now allowed you; And neither Hills nor Mountains, Corners nor secret Chambers, shall be able to hide any this day from the Wrath of the Lamb: wherefore come down, come down; you high ones, come forth, come forth, you covered and not with the Spirit; all People come forth quickly to this bright Day of God.

Oh! hear, fear, and tremble, you tall, you sturdy Oaks: for he who is God over all, will level you with the Earth: Lo, I have seen the dreadful Day that is to be revealed upon you. A Fire shall enter into your Bowels, and burn, and there shall be no remedy; yea, a Day of blasting, and mildew; scattering, scattering, scattering, saith the Lord God of Hosts, shall enter among the Heathen; a Day of my Vengeance, and Fury, and my Recompence upon them, saith the mighty God. They have scattered my Heritage, and slain my living Witnesse in them, which called them to Repentance. And now, who will stand up and plead? Though my Servants should, them would I justify, yet I would not hear, for the Day of my Vengeance is in my heart, and the Year of my Redeemed is come, wherein I will render Fury to my Adversaries, Recompence to my Enemies, that I may save my afflicted People, that the springing Tree may grow, (known in my Beloved to be the Tree of Life) and bear Leaves and Fruit; whose Leaves shall heal the Nations, and its Fruit shall be Food to my Children. Then hinder this if you can, ye swarms of Locusts, now crawling up from the Pit, to devour our Harvest. But lo! you shall not; for, a Wind from the Lord shall drive you away.

Oh! hear you Rulers of the Nations, (for, and through whom, a mighty Burden hath been upon me) forasmuch as your wickedness is now beyond utterance. This is the Message I am to declare unto you; That He, who is wonderful in Counsel, and excellent in Working, is arising in his Power, to raze your Foundation; And your Day shall be short, your End shall be notable, and the shame of your Fall shall triple the glory of your Rising; you shall leave your Houses desolate, and you Widows shall mourn.

This is the Word and Testimony that wrought in me mightily the seventeenth day of the tenth Moneth, 1662.

even in me, who am in Peace with God, and called of men, Andrew Robeson.

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).
