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.

why_o because_o you_o be_v under_o death_n it_o be_v not_o yet_o the_o time_n of_o life_n and_o he_o will_v make_v we_o know_v we_o can_v quicken_v our_o own_o soul_n adam_n will_v have_v be_v reach_v
