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

town_n or_o city_n that_o shall_v defraud_v his_o brethren_n and_o shall_v advance_v themselves_o in_o pride_n by_o oppression_n and_o tyranny_n imitate_v sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o abomination_n if_o any_o see_v this_o imitate_v in_o england_n it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o we_o or_o they_o that_o so_o see_v to_o become_v imitator_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o prophet_n first_o in_o order_n of_o the_o prophet_n that_o come_v before_o christ_n who_o be_v order_v by_o their_o practice_n to_o show_v israel_n their_o transgression_n in_o drink_v water_n by_o measure_n and_o in_o make_v bread_n for_o ezekiel_n take_v of_o wheat_n barley_n and_o bean_n and_o lentil_n and_o millet_n and_o fitch_n and_o put_v they_o in_o a_o vessel_n and_o make_v bread_n thereof_o and_o instead_o of_o butter_n and_o spice_n he_o be_v to_o take_v cow_n dung_n instead_o of_o man_n dung_n to_o prepare_v his_o bread_n with_o and_o he_o be_v to_o have_v his_o portion_n by_o weight_n ezek._n 4.9_o thus_o the_o prophet_n be_v to_o show_v they_o their_o error_n in_o matter_n of_o food_n and_o for_o clothing_n you_o may_v see_v in_o isa._n 20._o who_o be_v a_o prophet_n of_o god_n order_v not_o only_o to_o wear_v sackcloth_n but_o to_o go_v naked_a and_o without_o shoe_n three_o year_n if_o these_o scripture_n be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n imitation_n and_o practice_n than_o we_o be_v to_o judge_v which_o be_v the_o prophet_n of_o god_n by_o this_o practice_n in_o scripture_n and_o if_o so_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v prophet_n of_o god_n but_o some_o will_v say_v we_o be_v to_o follow_v christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o so_o than_o we_o must_v exact_o see_v what_o order_n they_o have_v in_o their_o commission_n that_o we_o may_v know_v they_o from_o hireling_n we_o find_v in_o the_o commission_n that_o they_o be_v to_o go_v and_o preach_v without_o money_n or_o scrip_n or_o shoe_n on_o their_o foot_n but_o to_o be_v shod_v with_o sandal_n mark_n 6.8_o so_o we_o may_v doubt_v whether_o we_o shall_v find_v any_o apostle_n too_o if_o we_o shall_v judge_v by_o christ_n commission_n but_o if_o you_o will_v not_o own_o these_o scripture_n neither_o let_v we_o try_v they_o that_o mark_v out_o the_o false_a apostle_n and_o teacher_n namely_o john_n 10._o where_o he_o say_v the_o hireling_n be_v not_o his_o shepherd_n and_o mat._n 7._o where_o he_o say_v you_o shall_v know_v they_o by_o their_o fruit_n inward_o they_o be_v raven_a wolf_n many_o more_o scripture_n to_o this_o purpose_n there_o be_v but_o if_o you_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o your_o hireling_n still_o you_o will_v believe_v no_o scripture_n that_o be_v against_o he_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o for_o he_o so_o that_o all_o the_o true_a practical_a part_n of_o scripture_n must_v be_v lay_v aside_o only_a talk_n of_o it_o and_o dispute_v of_o it_o a_o little_a and_o pick_v out_o of_o it_o a_o few_o place_n to_o preach_v out_o off_o and_o to_o write_v to_o get_v some_o money_n to_o uphold_v their_o pride_n and_o honour_n in_o this_o world_n to_o please_v the_o old_a man_n in_o the_o flesh_n sure_o if_o john_n the_o baptist_n shall_v come_v forth_o again_o and_o call_v himself_o leveller_n and_o take_v such_o food_n as_o the_o wilderness_n yield_v and_o such_o clothing_n and_o preach_v up_o his_o former_a doctrine_n he_o that_o have_v two_o coat_n shall_v give_v away_o one_o of_o they_o and_o he_o that_o have_v food_n shall_v do_v likewise_o how_o scornful_o will_v our_o proud_a gentleman_n and_o gallant_n look_v of_o he_o that_o have_v get_v three_o or_o four_o coat_n with_o great_a gold_n and_o silver_n button_n and_o half_o a_o score_n dainty_a dish_n at_o his_o table_n beside_o his_o gallant_a house_n and_o his_o furniture_n therein_o therefore_o this_o scripture_n must_v be_v interpret_v some_o other_o way_n or_o else_o deny_v and_o this_o be_v our_o condition_n if_o the_o scripture_n will_v not_o serve_v for_o our_o own_o end_n to_o fulfil_v selfish_a desire_n to_o uphold_v the_o old_a man_n in_o his_o fleshly_a honour_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o magistrate_n only_o who_o god_n have_v make_v a_o minister_n for_o thy_o wealth_n sake_n and_o do_v not_o at_o all_o belong_v to_o innocency_n nor_o christ_n in_o the_o spirit_n for_o there_o be_v small_a sign_n of_o the_o old_a man_n die_a or_o put_v off_o whilst_o he_o smite_v his_o fellow_n for_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o fleshly_a desire_n and_o this_o be_v our_o condition_n that_o love_v the_o world_n in_o

father_n but_o be_v of_o the_o world_n these_o scripture_n have_v i_o endeavour_v former_o to_o interpret_v some_o other_o way_n by_o absurdity_n and_o consequence_n how_o that_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o wear_v superfluous_a thing_n thousand_o of_o people_n will_v starve_v for_o want_v of_o trade_n and_o so_o by_o consequence_n bring_v great_a evil_a upon_o we_o so_o i_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o lose_v my_o pride_n and_o worldly_a pomp_n i_o question_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o even_o god_n himself_o and_o all_o for_o want_v of_o some_o glimpse_n of_o spiritual_a light_n which_o my_o natural_a eye_n in_o reason_n can_v not_o discern_v therefore_o the_o most_o high_a be_v please_v to_o convince_v i_o with_o natural_a form_n namely_o bird_n of_o the_o air_n which_o every_o day_n bring_v i_o intelligence_n according_a to_o my_o worldly_a occasion_n for_o almost_o three_o year_n space_n i_o have_v observe_v they_o for_o they_o will_v foretell_v i_o of_o any_o danger_n or_o cross_n or_o any_o joy_n from_o friend_n i_o mean_v any_o danger_n or_o dishonour_n to_o my_o person_n or_o loss_n of_o cattle_n or_o corn_n or_o any_o other_o disadvantage_n to_o my_o advancement_n in_o the_o world_n and_o this_o clear_o convince_v i_o that_o there_o be_v a_o power_n above_o man_n then_o i_o consider_v the_o wise_a man_n say_v eccles._n 10.10_o curse_v not_o the_o

shall_v declare_v the_o matter_n also_o i_o consider_v that_o god_n make_v use_v of_o a_o bird_n to_o feed_v elias_n the_o prophet_n by_o this_o i_o see_v that_o he_o make_v use_v of_o natural_a cause_n to_o fulfil_v natural_a desire_n so_o i_o come_v to_o know_v god_n in_o nature_n moreover_o i_o consider_v the_o scripture_n where_o the_o lord_n speak_v against_o the_o soothsayer_n and_o against_o astrologer_n sorcerer_n and_o wizard_n all_o these_o i_o find_v to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o darkness_n and_o will_v reach_v no_o further_o than_o the_o old_a man_n in_o the_o flesh_n yet_o very_o necessary_a to_o be_v know_v that_o we_o may_v avoid_v the_o evil_a thereof_o christ_n and_o the_o prophet_n know_v all_o these_o thing_n or_o else_o they_o will_v never_o have_v speak_v against_o they_o but_o we_o in_o the_o old_a man_n have_v often_o speak_v against_o thing_n that_o we_o know_v not_o out_o of_o blind_a zeal_n but_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n therefore_o let_v the_o scripture_n rule_v we_o that_o we_o judge_v no_o man_n heart_n which_o belong_v to_o god_n only_o in_o the_o spirit_n but_o our_o judgement_n must_v be_v external_a of_o every_o tree_n according_a to_o their_o fruit_n for_o by_o their_o fruit_n we_o ought_v to_o know_v they_o so_o to_o reprove_v every_o man_n his_o neighbour_n to_o his_o face_n leave_v off_o backbiting_a and_o
