In A Rod for Run-Awayes by Thomas Decker
"In which flight of theirs, if they looke backe, they may behold many fearefull iudgements of God, sundry wayes pronounced vpon this city, and on seuerall persons, both flying from it, and staying in it. Expressed in many dreadfull examples of sudden death, falne vpon both young and old, within this city, and the suburbes, in the fields, and open streets, to the terrour of all those who liue, and to the warning of those who are to dye, to be ready when God almighty shall bee pleased to call them."
 
Woodcut, London, 1625
