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.

you_o from_o these_o word_n but_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o have_v be_v to_o this_o purpose_n 1._o to_o show_v how_o short_a you_o yet_o be_v where_o you_o lie_v and_o stick_v in_o the_o mire_n and_o have_v no_o ark_n to_o receive_v you_o know_v not_o what_o shall_v become_v of_o you_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n 2._o that_o your_o soul_n may_v be_v put_v to_o a_o strait_a to_o look_v after_o such_o

like_o water_n as_o many_o word_n do_v than_o i_o know_v you_o will_v have_v no_o peace_n in_o your_o own_o conscience_n and_o you_o will_v never_o be_v judge_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o come_v to_o

the_o brand_n out_o of_o burn_a takes_z his_o out_o of_o all_o the_o world_n 4._o in_o choose_v that_o which_o be_v choose_v have_v no_o hand_n at_o all_o so_o god_n choose_v his_o people_n free_o nothing_o in_o they_o to_o move_v he_o 5._o thing_n choose_v be_v set_v apart_o for_o some_o special_a use_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v a_o end_n a_o use_n intend_v for_o the_o vessel_n of_o honour_n 6._o man_n promise_v themselves_o something_o in_o the_o thing_n they_o choose_v so_o god_n expect_v fruit_n from_o his_o vine_n love_n and_o entertainment_n from_o his_o choose_a 7._o man_n have_v a_o special_a eye_n and_o care_n of_o thing_n they_o choose_v so_o god_n eye_n be_v after_o his_o choose_a in_o all_o trial_n and_o sorrow_n ii_o a_o royal_a priesthood_n of_o the_o royal_a race_n spring_v from_o the_o lord_n himself_o of_o that_o stock_n whence_o three_o thing_n consider_v 1._o they_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o god_n can_v go_v to_o a_o father_n not_o a_o judg._n 2._o hence_o

all_o other_o be_v content_a with_o part_n and_o gift_n etc._n etc._n 4._o this_o spirit_n press_v on_o to_o the_o high_a and_o most_o single_a way_n though_o never_o so_o sharp_a to_o it_o 5._o this_o generation_n have_v secret_a hinting_n spring_v at_o time_n that_o they_o belong_v to_o god_n 6._o in_o great_a fall_n and_o sin_n no_o hinting_n as_o if_o utter_o cut_v off_o because_o of_o sin_n 7._o a_o witness_n always_o in_o their_o soul_n that_o when_o ever_o they_o have_v a_o heart_n to_o return_v they_o shall_v be_v receive_v the_o father_n stand_v ready_a to_o receive_v the_o
