summary:
  Amongst other signes and fore-runners of the latter day , I remember our Sauiour tells vs of false Cprists , false Prophets , and Heresies that shall arise , where , without doubt hee includeth , false Professors of CHRIST : And are wee without such ? how comes it then to passe , that each Head of the Hydra-headed balefull Beast of Heresies , and Schisme striueth , of late , so much for superioritie ; amongst vs here in this Nation , to goe no further than our owne : Certes , the vgly Head of Papisme hath striven for place ; the rotten Head of Arrianisme hath also striven for place , the mis-shapen and ill-lookt Heads of old Pelagianisme & new Arminianisme haue laboured to be reconciled , & Ianus-like , to be joyned together , & so to take place : It is not my purpose to meddle with the small Heads of Schisme , they being easily suppressed : They are those foure Heads before-named , that trouble the Peace of the Church : the two former ; they doe openly disclaime the Doctrine of the Church ; the two latter , a little more cunningly ; they ( forsooth ) would intrude themselues into our Church , that so they might the better afterwards bring in the whole body of the BEAST her selfe : But leauing these Heads of Heresies to be suppressed , cut off and damned , by GOD , and the King , with the helpe of his Reuerend Orthodox Clergie-men : And not to enlarge my selfe further in the Introduction to a small Relation , heare and vnderstand as followeth : About the middest and Centre of this Land , is situated and standeth the ancient Citie of COVENTRIE , a Countie of it selfe , though within the compasse of Warwickshire : And in this Citie , on Munday the twentie seuenth day of March last past , 1626. soules , besides what haue died in other Cities , Townes , and places in this Kingdome : And now for the LEANE and Pale HORSE of FAMINE , although wee must thankfully confesse , that God hath wonderfully restrained him , yet other Countries haue felt and doe feele his weight , with cleanenesse of Teeth and emptinesse of Belly : yea , and wee our selues haue had a fearefull Glympse of Him : and how soone God may permit him further to appeare amongst vs , for our manyfold sinnes , wee know not , but may doubt , and ought to pray against Famine .

  Geologia Norvegica, or, A brief instructive remembrancer concerning that very great and spacious earthquake, which hapned [sic] almost quite through the south parts of Norvvay upon the 24th day of April, in the year 1657 also physical, historical, and theological grounds and reasons concerning the causes and significations of earthquakes / written in the Danish tongue by Michael Peterson Escholt ... ; and Englished by Daniel Collins.

summary:
  And therefore we must not think that either the heat of the Sun , or motus continui , strong and perpetual motions , which do otherwise occasion great heat here on earth , and sometimes produces fire in Nature , or the inward Warmth of the earth , or any other substance which the subterraneous waters have their course through within the earth , can be the cause of the said waters being so boyling hot , as it is in the hot Bathes , and in many other places of the Earth where it springs up ; but it must be the subterraneous fire it self , to which it only and properly belongs in altissimo Caloris gradu , to heat it in so high a degree . Concerning the subterraneous waters , you shall have better Information in the Second and Fourth Chapters , how they may be the Cause of Great Earthquakes ; but we must speak somthing here concerning the subterraneous Fire , which doth also cause great motion and powerful stirrings in the Earth , and doth often help to the production of Earthquakes , and shall be handled in the Following Chapter .
