A trumpet sounded out of Zion : as a warning to all the inhabitants of the earth, but more especially to this nation of England, which hath for a long time provoked the Lord, by oppression and cruelty in persecuting his sons and daughters. Which may serve as a call to them, to turn from their wickedness, before their day be past, and their sun be set, and they shut up in dismal darkness. - Greene, Thomas ([publisher not identified], 1662)
