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.

have_v show_v you_o seven_o way_n by_o which_o if_o the_o lord_n prevent_v not_o man_n may_v come_v in_o upon_o we_o to_o destroy_v the_o body_n now_o i_o come_v to_o the_o next_o general_a thing_n viz._n three_o the_o exhortation_n give_v fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o why_o shall_v not_o they_o be_v fear_v 1._o fear_v not_o in_o regard_n of_o they_o that_o shall_v do_v it_o 2._o fear_v not_o in_o regard_n it_o be_v but_o the_o body_n they_o kill_v 1._o fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n fear_v not_o the_o man_n the_o person_n that_o shall_v do_v it_o and_o that_o for_o these_o four_o reason_n 1._o because_o they_o be_v but_o man_n and_o man_n at_o his_o best_a estate_n be_v altogether_o vanity_n alas_o they_o that_o go_v about_o to_o kill_v this_o body_n what_o be_v they_o themselves_o but_o a_o vain_a thing_n a_o nothing_o a_o shadow_n how_o ever_o strong_a and_o high_a conceit_a they_o may_v be_v yet_o alas_o all_o nation_n be_v but_o as_o the_o drop_n of_o a_o bucket_n and_o what_o be_v a_o man_n that_o shall_v soon_o fade_v as_o the_o grass_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v fear_v 2._o fear_v they_o not_o because_o they_o be_v but_o the_o instrument_n the_o rod_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o another_o and_o they_o can_v move_v nor_o stir_v a_o foot_n or_o hand_n far_o than_o they_o shall_v be_v suffer_v and_o permit_v and_o order_v they_o be_v but_o like_o the_o wheel_n of_o a_o clock_n take_v off_o the_o weight_n and_o the_o clock_n stir_v not_o alas_o though_o they_o may_v threaten_v and_o resolve_v and_o take_v counsel_n never_o so_o strong_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o their_o own_o lord_n they_o shall_v do_v neither_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o the_o hand_n will_v make_v use_n of_o the_o sword_n and_o therefore_o our_o father_n in_o all_o their_o suffering_n have_v look_v through_o and_o beyond_o the_o instrument_n to_o the_o hand_n that_o rule_v and_o act_n all_o i_o be_v dumb_a say_v david_n and_o keep_v silence_n because_o it_o be_v thy_o do_v 3._o fear_v they_o not_o but_o rather_o pity_v they_o alas_o it_o be_v woe_n and_o misery_n enough_o to_o all_o such_o as_o shall_v have_v a_o hand_n in_o this_o work_n they_o be_v employ_v about_o a_o hard_a service_n it_o be_v their_o misery_n they_o be_v hackn_v by_o the_o devil_n to_o do_v this_o mischief_n against_o the_o truth_n as_o christ_n say_v of_o judas_n it_o have_v be_v good_a for_o that_o man_n he_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v who_o ever_o shall_v be_v a_o instrument_n in_o this_o work_n alas_o it_o be_v mis●ry_a enough_o their_o case_n may_v be_v pity_v by_o we_o rather_o than_o their_o malice_n fear_v 4._o fear_v they_o not_o in_o this_o respect_n because_o before_o their_o plot_n be_v ripe_a they_o may_v be_v cut_v off_o and_o die_v and_o be_v lay_v in_o their_o grave_n how_o many_o such_o case_n have_v be_v know_v haman_n what_o a_o strange_a plot_n and_o how_o sure_o have_v he_o lay_v it_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o jew_n root_n and_o branch_n ay_o but_o the_o mischief_n return_v upon_o his_o own_o head_n before_o his_o plot_n come_v to_o a_o issue_n he_o be_v cut_v off_o himself_o alas_o how_o soon_o be_v it_o do_v his_o breath_n be_v but_o take_v away_o and_o man_n turn_v to_o his_o earth_n and_o in_o that_o very_a day_n all_o his_o thought_n perish_v all_o plot_n and_o design_n and_o contrivance_n come_v to_o nothing_o remember_v o_o my_o people_n say_v god_n what_o balack_n consult_v and_o what_o balaam_n answer_v and_o yet_o see_v how_o all_o their_o design_n be_v frustrate_v and_o blast_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o in_o our_o own_o kingdom_n how_o many_o plot_n have_v be_v thus_o prevent_v when_o they_o have_v be_v even_o ripe_a for_o execution_n so_o in_o that_o powder_n treason_n when_o all_o be_v fit_a and_o but_o now_o a_o candle_n only_o want_v to_o destroy_v and_o blow_v up_o all_o yet_o in_o the_o very_a nick_n it_o be_v find_v out_o and_o prevent_v therefore_o fear_v they_o not_o if_o god_n will_v prevent_v he_o can_v soon_o do_v it_o be_v they_o never_o so_o strong_a and_o desperate_a and_o malicious_a yet_o he_o can_v but_o take_v away_o their_o breath_n and_o alas_o they_o may_v be_v rot_v and_o stink_n in_o their_o grave_n before_o their_o plot_n be_v accomplish_v when_o the_o wicked_a flourish_n like_o the_o grass_n and_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n like_o the_o green_a herb_n yet_o than_o it_o be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v cut_v off_o for_o ever_o so_o that_o be_v we_o but_o true_o principled_a and_o instruct_v we_o may_v have_v our_o great_a encouragement_n where_o we_o make_v our_o great_a fear_n viz._n from_o the_o strength_n and_o height_n and_o flourish_v of_o our_o enemy_n when_o they_o carry_v all_o before_o they_o yet_o fear_v they_o not_o 2._o fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o body_n which_o they_o can_v kill_v they_o can_v reach_v no_o far_o than_o the_o body_n and_o what_o be_v the_o body_n 1._o that_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a outside_n a_o shadow_n it_o be_v but_o as_o the_o crack_n of_o a_o shell_n to_o kill_v the_o body_n 2._o the_o body_n be_v a_o perish_a thing_n that_o will_v soon_o die_v of_o itself_o if_o none_o shall_v take_v a_o sword_n against_o it_o it_o will_v soon_o die_v and_o moulder_v it_o will_v fall_v of_o itself_o like_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o tree_n let_v it_o but_o alone_o till_o it_o come_v to_o be_v ripe_a and_o you_o need_v not_o shake_v it_o the_o fruit_n will_v drop_v and_o fall_v of_o themselves_o therefore_o fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n they_o kill_v but_o a_o dead_a man_n cut_v down_o a_o little_a grass_n like_o ionas_n gourd_n up_o in_o a_o night_n and_o go_v in_o a_o night_n 3._o fear_v they_o not_o for_o they_o kill_v but_o the_o body_n and_o that_o be_v not_o that_o which_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o glory_n this_o body_n be_v to_o turn_v to_o dust_n this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o you_o see_v be_v not_o to_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n this_o corruptible_a must_v put_v on_o incorruption_n this_o corn_n must_v die_v before_o it_o shall_v bring_v forth_o that_o body_n which_o be_v to_o abide_v god_n give_v to_o every_o seed_n his_o own_o body_n as_o it_o please_v he_o he_o will_v give_v a_o body_n but_o not_o this_o body_n this_o flesh_n and_o blood_n which_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n therefore_o fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n and_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o always_o in_o all_o our_o fear_n and_o threaten_n from_o man_n these_o seven_o consideration_n may_v stick_v by_o we_o to_o keep_v we_o up_o from_o fear_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o man_n themselves_o and_o also_o the_o body_n that_o only_o be_v in_o their_o power_n to_o kill_v alas_o it_o be_v but_o a_o poor_a cask_n when_o they_o have_v do_v their_o worst_a that_o they_o can_v touch_v that_o which_o will_v soon_o die_v alone_o and_o save_v the_o labour_n of_o be_v kill_v and_o shall_v it_o hold_v out_o never_o so_o long_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o it_o that_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o glory_n it_o must_v break_v and_o go_v to_o the_o grave_n at_o the_o last_o earth_n must_v go_v to_o earth_n corruption_n can_v inherit_v incorruption_n no_o unclean_a thing_n must_v enter_v into_o that_o city_n and_o this_o be_v a_o unclean_a house_n a_o body_n of_o death_n and_o sin_n in_o my_o body_n say_v paul_n i_o find_v no_o good_a thing_n but_o a_o law_n of_o sin_n in_o my_o member_n rebel_a against_o the_o law_n of_o my_o mind_n and_o that_o must_v die_v and_o not_o enter_v into_o life_n and_o thus_o far_o you_o hear_v the_o negative_a open_v what_o you_o be_v not_o to_o fear_v fear_v not_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o body_n etc._n etc._n and_o how_o have_v most_o of_o our_o day_n hitherto_o be_v spend_v about_o this_o body_n and_o how_o be_v the_o world_n all_o of_o they_o lose_v and_o drown_v in_o caring_n and_o providing_n about_o this_o what_o to_o eat_v and_o what_o to_o drink_v and_o what_o to_o put_v on_o we_o have_v be_v more_o foolish_a in_o this_o than_o the_o lily_n and_o sparrow_n and_o raven_n they_o take_v not_o these_o cut_n and_o perplex_v care_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v preserve_v and_o provide_v for_o and_o what_o have_v all_o our_o caring_n bring_v about_o to_o we_o but_o sorrow_n and_o misery_n they_o have_v not_o add_v the_o least_o cubit_n to_o our_o stature_n but_o now_o we_o come_v to_o the_o four_o thing_n 4._o who_o then_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v fear_v he_o that_o can_v destroy_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o hell_n fear_v he_o fear_v the_o lord_n he_o that_o

forego_n verse_n according_a as_o his_o divine_a power_n have_v give_v we_o all_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o life_n and_o godliness_n through_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o that_o have_v call_v we_o to_o glory_n and_o virtue_n where_o four_o thing_n be_v lay_v down_o in_o which_o these_o precious_a promise_n be_v fulfil_v life_n godliness_n glory_n virtue_n these_o be_v the_o exceed_a great_a

to_o his_o disciple_n i_o will_v send_v you_o the_o promise_n of_o my_o father_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v promise_v before_o but_o yet_o to_o be_v send_v by_o christ_n 1._o the_o first_o thing_n

like_o dead_a man_n long_o out_o of_o mind_n how_o dry_a and_o desolate_a and_o waste_a because_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n that_o shall_v quicken_v and_o enliven_v be_v not_o come_v the_o time_n of_o life_n be_v not_o accomplish_v but_o the_o promise_n be_v go_v forth_o that_o at_o the_o set_a time_n he_o will_v sure_o visit_v sarah_n and_o the_o dry_a womb_n shall_v conceive_v though_o

precious_a promise_n 1._o life_n imply_v in_o it_o a_o freedom_n from_o death_n a_o recovery_n and_o deliverance_n out_o of_o its_o power_n alas_o to_o live_v be_v another_o manner_n of_o thing_n than_o we_o have_v conceive_v it_o we_o have_v go_v about_o and_o act_v and_o speak_v like_o live_a man_n but_o have_v we_o live_v in_o all_o this_o have_v we_o be_v yet_o ever_o acquit_v and_o free_v

our_o bread_n may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o our_o mouth_n we_o may_v be_v so_o impoverish_v by_o lawyer_n and_o jailer_n and_o fine_n and_o strange_a way_n that_o may_v be_v find_v out_o by_o our_o

in_o wrest_v word_n contrary_a to_o our_o real_a intention_n and_o purpose_n as_o my_o own_o son_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v to_o my_o face_n i_o will_v take_v a_o hundred_o oath_n if_o i_o

that_o a_o man_n can_v hardly_o speak_v to_o another_o or_o stir_v any_o way_n in_o his_o business_n but_o if_o the_o law_n be_v reach_v out_o and_o tenter_v to_o the_o utmost_a he_o may_v be_v find_v

man_n in_o this_o to_o stir_v against_o we_o 6._o man_n may_v destroy_v the_o body_n by_o raise_v false_a witness_n against_o we_o and_o charge_v we_o of_o that_o false_o which_o we_o be_v no_o way_n

further_o they_o may_v be_v suffer_v to_o swear_v against_o we_o we_o can_v tell_v and_o at_o last_o two_o false_a witness_n come_v pointblank_o against_o christ_n and_o so_o take_v away_o his_o life_n 7._o our_o life_n may_v be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n sometime_o when_o we_o may_v be_v no_o way_n guilty_a by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o i_o remember_v when_o the_o bishop_n court_n be_v up_o some_o have_v say_v to_o i_o there_o you_o may_v be_v honest_a and_o your_o way_n may_v be_v good_a and_o harmless_a for_o aught_o we_o know_v but_o how_o ever_o the_o law_n will_v not_o bear_v you_o out_o in_o it_o we_o have_v a_o law_n say_v they_o to_o pilate_n and_o according_a to_o that_o law_n he_o ought_v to_o die_v and_o here_o you_o see_v be_v way_n and_o mean_n

speak_v to_o you_o of_o two_o of_o the_o general_a point_n from_o the_o word_n 1._o who_o they_o be_v that_o will_v kill_v the_o body_n that_o christ_n bid_v beware_v of_o king_n governor_n brethren_n

of_o man_n and_o then_o i_o

upon_o that_o be_v faith_n by_o faith_n he_o do_v it_o 2._o i_o tell_v you_o the_o effect_n it_o leave_v behind_o the_o word_n from_o god_n take_v place_n he_o be_v warn_v 3._o what_o thing_n be_v

be_v a_o type_n and_o figure_n of_o christ_n of_o a_o saviour_n of_o a_o sure_a and_o safe_a condition_n which_o will_v carry_v through_o all_o storm_n what_o ever_o which_o sure_a condition_n i_o

say_v paul_n i_o may_v attain_v to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a to_o be_v raise_v again_o by_o the_o same_o power_n that_o raise_v up_o christ_n else_o if_o we_o part_v with_o all_o and_o

thou_o shall_v die_v if_o leave_v in_o the_o grave_n this_o be_v to_o be_v utter_o lose_v many_o have_v be_v bring_v to_o that_o strait_a that_o they_o can_v not_o keep_v alive_a their_o own_o soul_n

die_v more_o and_o in_o this_o last_o story_n of_o salvation_n i_o open_v three_o thing_n to_o you_o 1._o that_o the_o soul_n be_v here_o take_v up_o as_o paul_n say_v into_o the_o three_o heaven_n it_o be_v quite_o translate_v and_o separate_v and_o divide_v from_o all_o see_v thing_n the_n whole_a world_n nothing_o touch_v it_o below_o 2._o here_o the_o soul_n hear_v word_n speak_v to_o it_o

long_a life_n speak_v of_o he_o ask_v life_n of_o thou_o and_o thou_o give_v he_o a_o long_a life_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o this_o be_v that_o eternal_a life_n never_o to_o die_v more_o now_o such_o a_o condition_n may_v be_v of_o have_v life_n but_o not_o the_o eternal_a life_n they_o may_v die_v again_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v of_o some_o twice_o dead_a pluck_v up_o by_o the_o root_n therefore_o the_o ark_n be_v not_o complete_a the_o condition_n not_o full_o sure_a and_o safe_a till_o the_o soul_n be_v settle_v in_o the_o eternal_a life_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o i_o give_v unto_o they_o eternal_a life_n then_o i_o speak_v to_o you_o of_o the_o proportion_n how_o the_o ark_n be_v to_o be_v make_v the_o length_n of_o it_o three_o hundred_o cubit_n the_o breadth_n fifty_o cubit_n and_o the_o height_n yet_o less_o but_o thirty_o cubit_n all_o which_o be_v not_o without_o a_o far_a meaning_n 1._o it_o be_v three_o hundred_o cubit_n long_o point_v out_o

straitness_n not_o so_o to_o run_v the_o way_n of_o his_o commandment_n to_o go_v on_o without_o let_v and_o control_v but_o 3._o the_o height_n less_o still_o that_o but_o thirty_o cubit_n to_o
