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.

another_o way_n of_o destroy_v the_o soul_n be_v when_o god_n give_v it_o up_o to_o believe_v lie_n to_o feed_v on_o ash_n and_o that_o like_o a_o canker_n will_v soon_o eat_v out_o all_o the_o life_n

the_o care_n and_o counsel_n and_o pity_n and_o encouragement_n of_o the_o truth_n to_o have_v none_o to_o plant_v nor_o water_n nor_o till_o it_o that_o ground_n can_v bring_v forth_o nothing_o but_o

ill_a humour_n that_o feed_v and_o maintain_v the_o sore_a else_o all_o plaster_n and_o salve_n apply_v to_o heal_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n so_o god_n deal_v with_o the_o soul_n he_o go_v first_o to_o the_o root_n to_o stench_n the_o corrupt_a humour_n the_o bitter_a fountain_n that_o feed_v and_o supply_v all_o the_o stream_n sensse_n and_o reason_n they_o have_v be_v the_o

why_o have_v he_o bring_v we_o into_o this_o wilderness_n to_o destroy_v we_o who_o have_v resist_v his_o will_n while_o these_o plead_n and_o reason_n live_v it_o be_v impossible_a our_o condition_n shall_v be_v mend_v these_o will_v fester_v and_o corrupt_v use_v what_o mean_v we_o will_v for_o heal_v therefore_o god_n promise_v i_o will_v heal_v their_o backslide_n that_o way_n he_o take_v when_o he_o intend_v a_o cure_n while_o we_o go_v about_o to_o cure_v ourselves_o and_o flee_v upon_o horse_n because_o they_o be_v swift_a so_o long_o the_o case_n grow_v worse_a with_o we_o the_o wound_n increase_v but_o stand_v still_o and_o see_v the_o salvation_n of_o god_n say_v moses_n let_v he_o alone_o and_o he_o will_v never_o leave_v till_o he_o have_v meet_v with_o the_o bitter_a root_n that_o spoil_v all_o our_o prosper_v 2._o another_o way_n of_o heal_v a_o wound_n be_v by_o take_v away_o or_o asswage_v the_o extremity_n of_o the_o anguish_n and_o smart_n of_o the_o sore_a else_o the_o violence_n of_o the_o pain_n will_v let_v nothing_o take_v place_n so_o be_v it_o with_o the_o soul_n sometime_o there_o be_v such_o a_o extremity_n of_o anguish_n that_o perplex_v and_o torment_v it_o that_o nothing_o of_o hope_n or_o encouragement_n can_v come_v near_o it_o when_o it_o be_v make_v to_o look_v over_o all_o its_o rebellion_n and_o stand_n out_o and_o provocation_n what_o it_o have_v do_v how_o it_o have_v grieve_v the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o refuse_v mercy_n and_o bring_v all_o this_o that_o it_o now_o lie_v under_o on_o its_o own_o head_n you_o may_v thank_v

and_o choice_n and_o this_o cause_v a_o feel_v anguish_n and_o torture_n in_o the_o soul_n when_o all_o circumstance_n come_v up_o of_o sin_n do_v seven_o year_n since_o as_o if_o but_o new_o act_v how_o thou_o provokedst_a god_n and_o break_v prison_n at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o slight_v and_o turn_v back_o this_o eat_v and_o corrode_v and_o fret_v the_o soul_n and_o give_v it_o no_o rest_n to_o hear_v or_o hope_v or_o believe_v any_o thing_n from_o god_n and_o therefore_o this_o be_v the_o next_o thing_n god_n do_v in_o go_v to_o cure_v he_o remove_v all_o the_o guilt_n and_o sin_n and_o shame_n and_o unbelief_n that_o lie_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o lay_v all_o upon_o the_o scape-goat_n to_o be_v carry_v into_o the_o land_n of_o forgetfulness_n that_o though_o the_o iniquity_n of_o judah_n and_o israel_n be_v seek_v for_o yet_o it_o can_v be_v find_v i_o will_v remember_v their_o sin_n no_o more_o say_v god_n and_o this_o pacify_v and_o assuage_n the_o pain_n and_o calm_v the_o soul_n he_o make_v the_o storm_n a_o calm_a and_o so_o bring_v they_o to_o their_o desire_a haven_n etc._n etc._n 3._o another_o way_n god_n take_v in_o heal_v be_v by_o apply_v a_o plaster_n
