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

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
