Thomas Vincent
Runtime: 6 Hours, 53 Minutes

God’s Terrible Voice in the City: wherein are set forth the sound of the voice, in a narration of the two dreadful judgments of plague and fire, inflicted upon the city of London.

Thomas Vincent was a clergyman who had given a long and powerful sermon about the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. He, like many others at the time, believed the fire to be a judgement from God for Londoners’ sins. In God’s Terrible Voice in the City, Vincent lists 25 sins in detail, such as religious hypocrisy, lying, swearing, laziness, drunkenness, pride, gluttony, envy and lust. He also includes a dramatic account of the fire, which captures the atmosphere and terror of the event as well as some fascinating details.
