A79993	The sect every where spoken against or, the reproached doctrine of Ely. As it was held forth in several sermons in the year, MDCLI. By Christopher Cob, lay-man, minister of an united people in Ely. Collected and analized for a private use, by Hampden Reeve, Master of Arts, one of that Society, and a constant hearer. Now published by the assent of the whole Society (as a short character, at present, of them and their way, till an opportunity of a farther and fuller discovery) for satisfaction in general.

thy_o seed_n be_v bless_v ishmael_n though_o he_o may_v live_v in_o the_o house_n yet_o he_o must_v not_o be_v heir_n with_o isaac_n there_o be_v many_o flourish_a plant_n in_o the_o world_n that_o

who_o man_n approve_v but_o who_o the_o lord_n approve_v it_o be_v once_o so_o that_o all_o lay_v in_o the_o confuse_a chaos_n together_o in_o one_o lump_n like_o the_o potter_n clay_n and_o then_o

till_o the_o potter_n have_v separate_v and_o distinguish_v his_o clay_n to_o several_a purpose_n and_o then_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o nation_n divide_v and_o then_o the_o lord_n people_n

considerable_a 1._o before_o a_o man_n choose_v any_o thing_n he_o weigh_v well_o and_o consider_v and_o overlook_v it_o in_o his_o mind_n he_o weigh_v all_o the_o flaw_n and_o all_o the_o perfection_n in_o it_o that_o he_o may_v know_v what_o he_o choose_v and_o not_o do_v it_o hoodwink_v so_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o weigh_v all_o his_o creature_n when_o he_o divide_v to_o the_o nation_n their_o inheritance_n and_o separate_v the_o son_n of_o adam_n than_o he_o say_v jacob_n be_v my_o portion_n he_o know_v what_o he_o do_v how_o he_o will_v prove_v as_o god_n say_v i_o

the_o thing_n be_v thorough_o weigh_v we_o often_o repent_v because_o of_o our_o heady_a rush_v upon_o this_o and_o the_o other_o but_o god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n he_o make_v his_o choice_n with_o

his_o work_n be_v do_v in_o counsel_n therefore_o they_o stand_v fast_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o therefore_o say_v david_n walk_v about_o zion_n mark_v well_o her_o tower_n etc._n etc._n

who_o satan_n have_v bind_v lo_o these_o eighteen_o year_n she_o must_v be_v loose_v because_o a_o daughter_n of_o abraham_n of_o that_o stock_n how_o ever_o mean_a and_o base_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o

and_o therefore_o that_o be_v not_o first_o conclude_v in_o god_n concern_v any_o this_o be_v a_o damn_a wretch_n who_o i_o hate_v and_o detest_v no_o his_o damnation_n be_v of_o himself_o he_o
