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.

somewhat_o of_o life_n and_o godliness_n and_o glory_n and_o virtue_n spring_v in_o the_o soul_n but_o yet_o it_o may_v be_v but_o one_o alone_a as_o a_o chaste_a virgin_n indeed_o single_a and_o

etc._n now_o then_o 1._o this_o may_v be_v of_o use_v to_o inquire_v what_o it_o be_v we_o will_v come_v to_o will_v we_o receive_v this_o divine_a nature_n and_o join_v in_o and_o be_v marry_v to_o it_o it_o be_v certain_a you_o can_v never_o have_v child_n nor_o be_v fruitful_a in_o the_o truth_n unless_o you_o be_v marry_v in_o here_o though_o you_o shall_v be_v virgin_n and_o be_v bring_v to_o stand_v clear_a and_o loose_a from_o all_o entanglement_n yet_o you_o can_v never_o have_v child_n to_o keep_v your_o name_n alive_a in_o israel_n you_o will_v live_v and_o die_v alone_o without_o you_o be_v bring_v to_o join_v into_o this_o spirit_n of_o christ_n though_o we_o may_v have_v father_n and_o instructer_n to_o care_n and_o provide_v for_o we_o yet_o that_o promise_n can_v

to_o be_v prince_n in_o the_o truth_n to_o make_v it_o spread_v in_o the_o world_n and_o run_v and_o be_v glorious_a but_o at_o present_a we_o be_v far_o from_o this_o there_o be_v a_o very_a ill_a

we_o be_v yet_o reach_v out_o to_o this_o thing_n to_o long_o for_o and_o desire_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n we_o will_v rather_o starve_v and_o live_v on_o any_o husk_n any_o

and_o godliness_n and_o glory_n and_o virtue_n they_o all_o tend_v to_o this_o end_n that_o you_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o door_n be_v yet_o open_a the_o promise_n and_o call_v be_v yet_o after_o you_o it_o belong_v to_o you_o as_o it_o do_v to_o ruth_n kinsman_n to_o marry_v ruth_n and_o purchase_v the_o inheritance_n but_o if_o you_o shall_v slight_v it_o

none_o but_o the_o prodigal_n that_o have_v learn_v experience_n peter_n mean_v single_o when_o he_o say_v to_o christ_n i_o will_v lay_v down_o my_o life_n for_o thy_o sake_n but_o how_o heady_a be_v
