God's Terrible Voice in the City (Fifth Edition, 1667) by Thomas Vincent

This is a rare 17th-century religious and historical text titled 'God's Terrible Voice in the City,' specifically the fifth edition printed in London in 1667. The book was written by Thomas Vincent, a Puritan minister in London, and provides a contemporary ecclesiastical account of the Great Plague of London (1665) and the Great Fire of London (1666). The title page is printed in black ink on aged, laid paper, which exhibits significant foxing, browning, and staining consistent with its 350+ year age. The typography features classic 17th-century styling, using various font sizes, italics, and the 'long s' (appearing as 'f'). The page shows physical wear including chipped edges, a small segment missing from the upper right corner, and rough-cut margins. It includes a specific mention of a funeral sermon preached on September 18, 1665. The imprint identifies that it was 'Printed for George Calvert, and are to be sold at the Bible in Fewen-street, 1667.' The paper quality is typical of the period, showing a fibrous texture. There is visible water staining along the right margin and slight creasing throughout the displayed leaf. Such documents are significant primary sources for London's history and colonial-era religious thought.
