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.

a_o rest_n for_o the_o people_n of_o god_n our_o god_n will_v come_v say_v they_o and_o will_v not_o tarry_v a_o strong_a than_o he_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o be_v able_a to_o deal_v with_o he_o and_o twist_v he_o about_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o this_o may_v give_v a_o little_a encouragement_n to_o hope_n but_o as_o for_o our_o part_n we_o can_v do_v nothing_o in_o it_o we_o can_v stand_v against_o the_o enemy_n nor_o can_v we_o hasten_v the_o rise_n of_o christ_n to_o deal_v with_o he_o who_o shall_v say_v unto_o god_n what_o do_v thou_o who_o shall_v stir_v he_o up_o before_o his_o time_n may_v he_o not_o do_v what_o he_o will_v be_v he_o not_o lord_n of_o all_o therefore_o no_o way_n be_v for_o we_o but_o to_o lie_v under_o and_o endure_v and_o let_v all_o the_o wave_n go_v over_o our_o back_n till_o he_o shall_v command_v a_o calm_a and_o he_o use_v to_o come_v in_o a_o unexpected_a time_n when_o all_o hope_n of_o life_n be_v go_v when_o but_o meal_n and_o oil_n enough_o be_v leave_v to_o make_v one_o cake_n and_o then_o the_o widow_n conclude_v to_o die_v then_o come_v the_o word_n the_o barrel_n of_o meal_n and_o the_o cruse_v of_o oil_n shall_v not_o fail_v etc._n etc._n therefore_o oh_o that_o it_o be_v in_o your_o heart_n to_o cry_v with_o one_o consent_n for_o this_o saviour_n to_o arise_v this_o deliverer_n that_o may_v turn_v ungodliness_n from_o jacob_n all_o difficulty_n and_o impossibility_n be_v nothing_o to_o he_o that_o which_o be_v impossible_a with_o man_n with_o god_n be_v easy_a and_o possible_a and_o this_o may_v raise_v up_o a_o little_a spring_v of_o hope_n against_o all_o rub_n and_o bar_n that_o lie_v in_o our_o way_n when_o he_o come_v he_o be_v able_a to_o deal_v with_o this_o mighty_a enemy_n he_o come_v provide_v his_o work_n before_o he_o and_o his_o reward_n with_o he_o he_o will_v divide_v the_o spoil_n and_o take_v away_o his_o armour_n and_o send_v that_o which_o be_v for_o death_n to_o death_n that_o which_o be_v for_o the_o sword_n to_o the_o sword_n that_o which_o be_v for_o famine_n to_o famine_n and_o that_o which_o be_v for_o captivity_n to_o captivity_n he_o keep_v sure_a record_n of_o all_o and_o will_v sure_o visit_v in_o his_o appoint_a time_n o_o therefore_o that_o we_o have_v a_o heart_n raise_v and_o stir_v to_o cry_v with_o one_o consent_n for_o this_o come_v of_o his_o and_o to_o give_v no_o rest_n night_n nor_o day_n but_o cry_v o_o come_v lord_n jesus_n come_v quick_o till_o we_o have_v a_o answer_n and_o be_v deliver_v the_o woeful_a case_n of_o the_o leper_n or_o the_o

i_o will_v have_v you_o consider_v three_o thing_n 1._o what_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n all_o the_o happiness_n and_o favour_n that_o we_o or_o any_o be_v ever_o like_a to_o enjoy_v it_o must_v only_o be_v from_o this_o goodwill_n of_o god_n what_o he_o have_v set_v and_o purpose_v for_o or_o against_o any_o that_o shall_v stand_v what_o ever_o his_o soul_n desire_v that_o he_o do_v say_v job_n therefore_o he_o add_v when_o i_o consider_v he_o i_o be_o afraid_a of_o he_o have_v any_o of_o you_o this_o favour_n to_o have_v a_o lot_n and_o portion_n in_o eternal_a life_n it_o be_v his_o will_n that_o have_v do_v it_o his_o goodwill_n his_o good_a pleasure_n nothing_o can_v hinder_v it_o if_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n who_o shall_v hinder_v again_o be_v any_o leave_v to_o

such_o a_o lord_n paramount_n so_o great_a a_o ruler_n alas_o thing_n come_v not_o to_o pass_v according_a to_o man_n thought_n and_o propounding_n but_o according_a to_o this_o will_n of_o god_n 3._o then_o consider_v how_o this_o will_n of_o god_n quite_o cut_v off_o all_o our_o will_n nothing_o that_o come_v into_o your_o thought_n shall_v be_v at_o all_o say_v god_n and_o again_o many_o be_v

thou_o all_o our_o thought_n be_v vain_a if_o our_o thought_n be_v to_o save_v ourselves_o or_o if_o to_o condemn_v and_o undo_v ourselves_o they_o be_v all_o but_o vain_a the_o counsel_n of_o the_o

there_o be_v but_o one_o door_n to_o go_v to_o in_o all_o our_o need_n the_o will_n and_o purpose_n of_o god_n and_o if_o we_o find_v no_o relief_n there_o alas_o the_o case_n be_v miserable_a man_n can_v never_o help_v himself_o so_o that_o the_o great_a matter_n lie_v there_o to_o know_v what_o that_o will_n of_o god_n concern_v we_o be_v how_o that_o stand_v what_o his_o thought_n be_v and_o to_o be_v true_o inform_v here_o and_o lay_v submit_v to_o this_o will_n this_o be_v all_o we_o have_v to_o do_v for_o the_o thing_n be_v do_v already_o in_o the_o salvation_n of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o be_v save_v how_o contrary_a be_v all_o thing_n to_o reason_n how_o do_v they_o oppose_v and_o stand_v out_o more_o than_o any_o have_v the_o mighty_a work_n say_v christ_n be_v do_v in_o sodom_n

in_o this_o thing_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a settle_n to_o our_o mind_n we_o have_v many_o strange_a and_o vain_a wander_a thought_n and_o trouble_n for_o want_v of_o a_o true_a principling_n and_o set_v down_o here_o that_o all_o must_v come_v to_o pass_v according_a to_o this_o will._n thou_o will_v perhaps_o say_v but_o i_o have_v the_o truth_n in_o i_o and_o that_o cry_v and_o desire_n and_o belong_v well_o but_o the_o son_n himself_o must_v be_v subject_a the_o truth_n in_o thou_o the_o right_a desire_n of_o thy_o soul_n must_v submit_v to_o his_o pleasure_n whether_o to_o be_v

therefore_o what_o ever_o thy_o desire_n be_v set_v upon_o and_o how_o right_a and_o single_a soever_o they_o may_v be_v yet_o this_o be_v to_o be_v look_v at_o in_o all_o but_o what_o be_v the_o

now_o be_v any_o of_o you_o at_o a_o strait_a and_o pinch_n to_o know_v what_o shall_v become_v of_o you_o here_o the_o thing_n stand_v it_o depend_v only_o upon_o this_o mind_n of_o god_n and_o

of_o the_o father_n therefore_o he_o submit_v not_o my_o will_n but_o thou_o etc._n etc._n christ_n will_v that_o all_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n but_o he_o must_v lay_v it_o down_o at_o his_o father_n will._n and_o have_v i_o no_o more_o than_o my_o own_o desire_n and_o love_n towards_o you_o to_o carry_v i_o forth_o i_o shall_v sure_o have_v flag_v
