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.

thy_o seed_n be_v bless_v ishmael_n though_o he_o may_v live_v in_o the_o house_n yet_o he_o must_v not_o be_v heir_n with_o isaac_n there_o be_v many_o flourish_a plant_n in_o the_o world_n that_o

friend_n how_o come_v thou_o hither_o will_v light_n on_o all_o that_o have_v not_o the_o wedding_n garment_n on_o however_o we_o may_v strive_v to_o pull_v in_o husband_n and_o child_n and_o other_o relation_n according_a to_o our_o selfish_a will_n yet_o alas_o that_o will_v not_o stand_v that_o will_v not_o make_v any_o who_o be_v not_o to_o be_v this_o choose_a generation_n it_o be_v not_o who_o man_n approve_v but_o who_o the_o lord_n approve_v it_o be_v once_o so_o that_o all_o lay_v in_o the_o confuse_a chaos_n together_o in_o one_o lump_n like_o the_o potter_n clay_n and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o none_o can_v say_v this_o be_v accept_v or_o this_o reject_v this_o be_v jacob_n or_o this_o esau_n this_o a_o vessel_n of_o honour_n that_o of_o dishonour_n till_o the_o potter_n have_v separate_v and_o distinguish_v his_o clay_n to_o several_a purpose_n and_o then_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o the_o nation_n divide_v and_o then_o the_o lord_n people_n become_v his_o portion_n then_o this_o choose_a generation_n have_v their_o first_o be_v and_o be_v both_o from_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o morning_n now_o in_o choose_v these_o several_a thing_n be_v considerable_a 1._o before_o a_o man_n choose_v any_o thing_n he_o weigh_v well_o and_o consider_v and_o overlook_v it_o in_o his_o mind_n he_o weigh_v all_o the_o flaw_n and_o all_o the_o perfection_n in_o it_o that_o he_o may_v know_v what_o he_o choose_v and_o not_o do_v it_o hoodwink_v so_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o weigh_v all_o his_o creature_n when_o he_o divide_v to_o the_o nation_n their_o inheritance_n and_o separate_v the_o son_n of_o adam_n than_o he_o say_v jacob_n be_v my_o portion_n he_o know_v what_o he_o do_v how_o he_o will_v prove_v as_o god_n say_v i_o know_v thou_o will_v have_v iron_n sinew_n and_o a_o brazen_a brow_n he_o thorough_o consider_v what_o he_o do_v take_v in_o all_o fault_n and_o provocation_n that_o shall_v ever_o spring_v from_o they_o and_o yet_o he_o pitch_v on_o this_o choose_a generation_n and_o yet_o jacob_n be_v the_o lot_n of_o his_o inheritance_n hence_o it_o be_v there_o be_v no_o repenting_n in_o god_n because_o the_o thing_n be_v thorough_o weigh_v we_o often_o repent_v because_o of_o our_o heady_a rush_v upon_o this_o and_o the_o other_o but_o god_n be_v not_o as_o man_n he_o make_v his_o choice_n with_o full_a advice_n and_o counsel_n hence_o it_o be_v the_o gift_n and_o call_n of_o god_n be_v without_o repentance_n and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o variableness_n nor_o shadow_n of_o change_n because_o all_o his_o work_n be_v do_v in_o counsel_n therefore_o they_o stand_v fast_o for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o therefore_o say_v david_n walk_v about_o zion_n mark_v well_o her_o tower_n etc._n etc._n consider_v her_o strength_n the_n sure_a unmovable_a rock_n she_o stand_v upon_o for_o this_o god_n be_v our_o god_n for_o ever_o and_o ever_o he_o will_v be_v our_o guide_n unto_o death_n this_o god_n be_v zions_n god_n that_o have_v do_v thing_n at_o a_o certainty_n not_o at_o hazard_n that_o will_v be_v a_o guide_n unto_o death_n that_o will_v never_o leave_v nor_o forsake_v the_o bottom_n and_o ground_n be_v certain_a and_o it_o be_v express_v thus_o in_o the_o proverb_n that_o i_o may_v make_v thou_o understand_v the_o word_n of_o certainty_n this_o choice_n of_o god_n be_v a_o certain_a unfailable_a unchangeable_a choice_n this_o will_v seem_v wonderful_a when_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o consider_v it_o and_o the_o thing_n sink_v to_o your_o heart_n be_v thou_o once_o in_o the_o same_o lump_n with_o the_o reprobate_a silver_n be_v esau_n jacob_n brother_n and_o jacob_n love_v and_o esau_n hate_v how_o come_v this_o thing_n about_o what_o mean_v this_o favour_n what_o manner_n of_o love_n be_v this_o o_o lord_n if_o it_o do_v but_o sink_v into_o your_o soul_n what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o to_o be_v choose_v of_o god_n let_v not_o the_o wise_a man_n glory_n in_o

choose_a generation_n that_o god_n pitch_v upon_o you_o what_o ever_o you_o be_v rejoice_v in_o that_o samuel_n he_o look_v upon_o eliah_n because_o of_o his_o stature_n and_o goodly_a personage_n as_o if_o sure_a he_o be_v the_o lord_n anoint_v no_o but_o say_v god_n not_o he_o but_o it_o be_v the_o stripling_n the_o little_a youth_n in_o the_o field_n the_o young_a and_o unthought_a of_o david_n he_o be_v the_o man_n he_o save_v not_o the_o whole_a the_o honourable_a and_o learned_a the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n but_o ought_v not_o this_o daughter_n of_o abraham_n to_o be_v loose_v who_o satan_n have_v bind_v lo_o these_o eighteen_o year_n she_o must_v be_v loose_v because_o a_o daughter_n of_o abraham_n of_o that_o stock_n how_o ever_o mean_a and_o base_a in_o the_o eye_n of_o

but_o a_o remnant_n shall_v be_v save_v though_o there_o be_v threescore_o queen_n and_o fourscore_o concubine_n yet_o my_o belove_a be_v but_o one_o etc._n etc._n that_o he_o shall_v let_v thousand_o

heart_n go_v after_o it_o more_o than_o that_o which_o he_o let_v alone_o and_o therefore_o moses_n say_v to_o israel_n the_o lord_n choose_v you_o not_o because_o you_o be_v better_a or_o more_o in_o number_n than_o other_o people_n but_o because_o he_o favour_v you_o and_o set_v his_o love_n upon_o you_o and_o in_o jeremy_n he_o say_v i_o have_v love_v thou_o of_o old_a with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n and_o when_o thou_o be_v in_o thy_o blood_n one_o will_v think_v that_o a_o strange_a time_n to_o love_v in_o yet_o then_o be_v thy_o time_n the_o time_n of_o love_n though_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n yet_o he_o love_v even_o so_o o_o father_n say_v christ_n for_o so_o it_o please_v thou_o two_o in_o a_o womb_n two_o in_o a_o mill_n two_o in_o the_o same_o condition_n and_o the_o one_o take_v and_o the_o other_o leave_v to_o be_v leave_v be_v enough_o there_o be_v need_n of_o no_o more_o reprobation_n than_o that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v but_o leave_v and_o not_o daily_o maintain_v keep_v up_o and_o preserve_v he_o will_v corrupt_v of_o himself_o and_o run_v natural_o to_o destruction_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o a_o curse_v or_o destroy_v any_o creature_n but_o he_o be_v

and_o therefore_o that_o be_v not_o first_o conclude_v in_o god_n concern_v any_o this_o be_v a_o damn_a wretch_n who_o i_o hate_v and_o detest_v no_o his_o damnation_n be_v of_o himself_o he_o

this_o time_n be_v not_o those_o eternal_a thought_n of_o god_n and_o that_o settle_a will_n concern_v you_o discover_v to_o i_o but_o now_o i_o come_v to_o open_v what_o this_o will_n of_o god_n be_v and_o i_o tell_v you_o there_o be_v two_o branch_n of_o it_o 1._o that_o a_o people_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n by_o this_o will_n of_o god_n all_o that_o the_o father_n have_v give_v i_o say_v christ_n now_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a give_v of_o a_o people_n to_o christ_n 1._o he_o give_v he_o a_o people_n as_o his_o child_n to_o be_v nurse_v and_o tender_v by_o he_o and_o so_o he_o speak_v to_o his_o disciple_n several_a time_n call_v they_o child_n child_n have_v you_o understand_v these_o thing_n etc._n etc._n they_o be_v but_o in_o the_o condition_n and_o state_n of_o child_n though_o they_o be_v man_n and_o here_o god_n put_v christ_n in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o mother_n and_o nurse_n to_o bring_v up_o those_o that_o be_v thus_o give_v he_o 1._o a_o mother_n receive_v a_o seed_n from_o her_o husband_n which_o be_v to_o be_v mould_v and_o form_v and_o grow_v up_o in_o the_o womb_n till_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a child_n such_o a_o seed_n be_v give_v to_o christ_n to_o warm_v and_o cherish_v till_o it_o grow_v up_o to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o true_a proportion_n of_o a_o child_n and_o be_v like_o its_o father_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v the_o promise_n be_v sure_a to_o all_o the_o seed_n and_o again_o a_o seed_n shall_v serve_v he_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o lord_n for_o a_o generation_n 2._o a_o mother_n nurse_v up_o her_o child_n when_o they_o be_v bear_v she_o feed_v and_o tend_v and_o oversee_v they_o till_o they_o be_v grow_v up_o to_o live_v of_o themselves_o and_o thus_o be_v a_o people_n give_v to_o truth_n that_o it_o may_v nourish_v and_o care_n for_o and_o deal_v tender_o and_o lead_v they_o on_o till_o they_o grow_v up_o to_o be_v strong_a man_n in_o the_o truth_n how_o do_v a_o mother_n bear_v and_o go_v through_o all_o with_o her_o child_n all_o its_o frowardness_n and_o crossness_n she_o take_v it_o up_o willing_o so_o this_o love_n of_o truth_n to_o its_o child_n it_o be_v not_o easy_o provoke_v it_o be_v not_o soon_o move_v but_o endure_v all_o thing_n and_o way_n and_o hope_n all_o thing_n it_o spare_v from_o itself_o to_o give_v to_o its_o child_n such_o a_o nurse_n be_v truth_n so_o tender_a and_o careful_a i_o have_v be_v as_o a_o nurse_n among_o you_o say_v paul_n if_o you_o perceive_v not_o this_o deal_n of_o truth_n towards_o you_o it_o be_v all_o but_o as_o a_o riddle_n if_o you_o be_v not_o see_v how_o tender_o and_o patient_o you_o have_v be_v deal_v with_o all_o along_o from_o your_o cradle_n nothing_o hard_a and_o unbearable_a have_v ever_o be_v put_v upon_o

more_o be_v put_v upon_o you_o but_o open_v thy_o mouth_n wide_a and_o i_o will_v fill_v it_o etc._n etc._n there_o have_v be_v one_o with_o you_o to_o care_n for_o you_o when_o you_o have_v sleep_v and_o slight_v and_o not_o consider_v the_o day_n of_o your_o visitation_n you_o have_v little_o consider_v what_o it_o have_v cost_v to_o enjoy_v the_o breast_n that_o you_o may_v suck_v at_o daily_a what_o a_o live_a ministry_n you_o be_v entrust_v with_o and_o yet_o wait_v upon_o you_o it_o reach_v all_o that_o come_v near_o it_o none_o that_o have_v come_v among_o we_o have_v go_v hence_o without_o the_o power_n of_o this_o truth_n convince_a and_o make_v they_o acknowledge_v that_o of_o a_o truth_n god_n be_v among_o we_o 2._o god_n give_v christ_n a_o people_n as_o his_o brethren_n when_o they_o be_v grow_v up_o to_o that_o state_n as_o he_o call_v the_o church_n my_o sister_n my_o spouse_n and_o in_o be_v thus_o give_v to_o christ_n he_o manifest_v these_o three_o thing_n to_o the_o soul_n 1._o he_o open_v that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o stock_n and_o kindred_n with_o himself_o as_o it_o be_v say_v at_o the_o second_o time_n joseph_n be_v make_v know_v to_o his_o

be_v express_v by_o i_o in_o word_n or_o for_o you_o to_o conceive_v of_o but_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n a_o people_n that_o shall_v justify_v this_o wisdom_n that_o shall_v know_v this_o portion_n be_v befall_v they_o that_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o stock_n with_o the_o lord_n jesus_n the_o word_n of_o life_n that_o they_o be_v bear_v from_o above_o i_o be_o not_o of_o this_o

follow_v and_o be_v open_v to_o the_o soul_n that_o it_o be_v now_o liable_a to_o be_v marry_v to_o christ_n and_o become_v his_o wife_n it_o be_v a_o true_a type_n among_o the_o people_n of_o
