A84015 The English hermite, or, Wonder of this age. Being a relation of the life of Roger Crab, living neer Uxbridg, taken from his own mouth, shewing his strange reserved and unparallel'd kind of life, who counteth it a sin against his body and soule to eate any sort of flesh, fish, or living creature, or to drinke any wine, ale, or beere. He can live with three farthings a week. His constant food is roots and hearbs, as cabbage, turneps, carrets, dock-leaves, and grasse; also bread and bran, without butter or cheese: his cloathing is sack-cloath. He left the Army, and kept a shop at Chesham, and hath now left off that, and sold a considerable estate to give to the poore, shewing his reasons from the Scripture, Mark. 10. 21. Jer. 35. Crab, Roger, 1621?-1680. 1655 (1655) Wing E3089; Thomason E826_1; ESTC R25357 16,709 21

by_o the_o father_n faith_n and_o no_o fall_v from_o grace_n then_o let_v we_o consider_v whether_o adam_n do_v believe_v in_o christ_n and_o if_o it_o be_v find_v he_o do_v than_o this_o baptism_n

with_o barley_n loaf_n and_o fish_n mat._n 14._o but_o some_o will_v object_v and_o say_v he_o be_v able_a to_o work_v miracle_n and_o we_o be_v not_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o we_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o command_v all_o thing_n and_o yet_o will_v have_v nothing_o at_o our_o feast_n but_o barley_n loaf_n and_o fish_n what_o advantage_n will_v our_o power_n be_v to_o this_o feast_n the_o feast_n be_v innocent_a without_o hurt_v any_o creature_n that_o breathe_v on_o earth_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o endeavour_v to_o preserve_v and_o to_o reconcile_v the_o people_n to_o

father_n in_o turn_v water_n into_o wine_n but_o we_o never_o find_v that_o ever_o he_o be_v drink_v or_o eat_v bite_v of_o flesh_n at_o any_o of_o their_o feast_n or_o wedding_n the_o passover_n be_v

out_o of_o egypt_n from_o their_o flesh_n pot_n into_o the_o wilderness_n to_o purify_v their_o body_n with_o angel_n food_n call_v manna_n which_o they_o ground_n in_o mill_n or_o beat_v in_o

egypt_n their_o desire_n be_v much_o and_o strong_a the_o lord_n grant_v they_o flesh_n even_o as_o he_o grant_v they_o a_o king_n and_o his_o wrath_n and_o plegue_n come_v with_o it_o as_o you_o

against_o the_o people_n and_o the_o lord_n smite_v the_o people_n with_o a_o exceed_a great_a plague_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o miserable_a creature_n we_o be_v be_v breed_v up_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n onion_n and_o garlic_n all_o under_o mars_n who_o god_n have_v make_v governor_n over_o that_o humour_n that_o lust_v after_o flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v make_v strong_a in_o we_o by_o feed_v of_o it_o as_o i_o myself_o may_v speak_v by_o experience_n for_o if_o god_n have_v command_v i_o to_o forbear_v flesh_n before_o i_o have_v knowledge_n of_o this_o my_o discourse_n although_o he_o have_v send_v a_o angel_n or_o a_o man_n work_v miracle_n i_o doubt_v i_o shall_v have_v judge_v all_o to_o be_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o lust_n i_o have_v after_o the_o sweetness_n of_o flesh_n even_o as_o the_o rich_a man_n in_o these_o our_o day_n will_v deny_v the_o scripture_n wherein_o christ_n command_v the_o rich_a man_n in_o the_o gospel_n to_o sell_v his_o good_n and_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a but_o they_o will_v say_v it_o reach_v no_o far_o than_o that_o one_o rich_a man_n shall_v for_o say_v they_o if_o we_o shall_v believe_v this_o scripture_n to_o extend_v to_o we_o we_o shall_v make_v the_o poor_a rich_a than_o ourselves_o so_o it_o seem_v by_o this_o that_o they_o have_v rather_o deny_v this_o scripture_n and_o many_o more_o that_o speak_v to_o this_o purpose_n even_o christ_n and_o all_o rather_o than_o to_o part_v from_o their_o riches_n this_o will_v have_v be_v my_o condition_n in_o ignorance_n therefore_o let_v not_o the_o rich_a man_n mistake_v i_o and_o think_v that_o i_o will_v have_v they_o sell_v their_o good_n before_o god_n have_v enlighten_v their_o understanding_n and_o let_v they_o see_v the_o danger_n of_o keep_v it_o for_o than_o they_o will_v play_v the_o hypocrite_n and_o do_v as_o bad_a to_o themselves_o as_o if_o they_o have_v keep_v it_o although_o good_a to_o other_o this_o will_v be_v the_o condition_n of_o every_o one_o that_o shall_v forbear_v flesh_n or_o beer_n as_o in_o relation_n to_o god_n because_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o the_o body_n or_o body_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n except_o any_o man_n think_v he_o sin_v against_o god_n in_o eat_v to_o he_o it_o be_v sin_n because_o he_o be_v weak_a and_o doubt_v so_o he_o ought_v to_o forbear_v because_o of_o his_o scruple_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o rom._n 14.8_o 1_o cor._n 8.10_o for_o if_o any_o man_n see_v thou_o which_o have_v knowledge_n fit_a at_o table_n in_o the_o idol_n temple_n shall_v not_o the_o conscience_n of_o he_o which_o be_v weak_a be_v bolden_v to_o eat_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v sacrifice_v to_o idol_n you_o may_v observe_v from_o this_o that_o he_o that_o walk_v by_o another_o man_n light_n before_o he_o be_v full_o convince_v in_o himself_o if_o he_o build_v on_o sand_n he_o will_v fall_v in_o the_o tempest_n because_o he_o have_v lose_v his_o tender_a light_n of_o his_o scruple_n which_o paul_n endeavour_v to_o strengthen_v in_o every_o one_o of_o his_o brethren_n let_v they_o be_v of_o what_o opinion_n they_o will_v in_o matter_n of_o conscience_n it_o be_v very_o plain_a in_o rom._n 14._o and_o very_o few_o in_o these_o day_n believe_v it_o for_o we_o all_o cry_v out_o against_o many_o opinion_n yet_o every_o one_o will_v have_v his_o own_o opinion_n justify_v we_o

within_o we_o but_o this_o be_v rebellion_n against_o our_o maker_n for_o the_o scripture_n command_v we_o not_o to_o judge_v one_o another_o in_o matter_n of_o conscience_n towards_o god_n but_o for_o the_o sin_n against_o our_o brethren_n and_o neighbour_n we_o ought_v to_o know_v the_o tree_n by_o his_o fruit_n so_o that_o any_o man_n or_o man_n in_o country_n
