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.

this_o little_a city_n to_o disturb_v and_o perplex_v and_o torment_n and_o if_o possible_a destroy_v this_o little_a remnant_n now_o i_o have_v hear_v many_o say_v that_o they_o never_o be_v thus_o

in_o stephen_n when_o he_o be_v stone_v to_o death_n he_o be_v of_o the_o strict_a way_n of_o the_o pharisee_n he_o walk_v according_a to_o his_o conscience_n he_o be_v as_o concern_v the_o law_n

remember_v the_o say_n of_o a_o old_a professor_n which_o be_v long_o my_o guide_n and_o teacher_n and_o many_o year_n have_v be_v zealous_a and_o strong_a and_o forward_o in_o religion_n yet_o when_o

4._o this_o consideration_n may_v move_v you_o to_o fear_v not_o know_v how_o soon_o the_o day_n of_o mercy_n may_v be_v slip_v over_o and_o the_o day_n of_o visitation_n hide_v from_o our_o eye_n

in_o my_o day_n it_o cost_v i_o dear_a but_o now_o do_v you_o think_v it_o will_v last_v always_o be_v there_o not_o a_o fear_n upon_o you_o lest_o the_o day_n be_v go_v and_o a_o break_n and_o

present_o to_o set_v upon_o the_o work_n to_o prepare_v a_o ark._n iii_o the_o next_o general_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v will_v be_v what_o this_o ark_n be_v how_o to_o be_v build_v and_o what_o a_o type_n of_o this_o ark_n type_v out_o christ_n all_o confess_v he_o be_v that_o alone_a refuge_n for_o all_o the_o save_v one_o to_o hide_v themselves_o in_o when_o ruin_n and_o desolation_n and_o

and_o complete_a the_o great_a work_n of_o salvation_n 1._o a_o day_n of_o christ_n weakness_n and_o death_n this_o the_o 1._o story_n of_o the_o ark._n 2._o a_o day_n of_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o grave_a this_o the_o 2._o story_n of_o the_o ark._n 3._o a_o day_n of_o ascend_v and_o enter_v into_o glory_n this_o the_o 3._o story_n of_o the_o ark._n and_o all_o the_o save_v one_o must_v tread_v in_o the_o same_o step_n and_o go_v through_o these_o three_o condition_n in_o the_o work_n of_o salvation_n etc._n etc._n i._o christ_n have_v a_o day_n of_o weakness_n a_o day_n of_o death_n and_o suffering_n he_o be_v crucify_v out_o of_o weakness_n and_o if_o ever_o you_o will_v build_v this_o ark_n to_o the_o save_n of_o your_o soul_n you_o must_v begin_v at_o this_o low_a story_n if_o we_o be_v plant_v into_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o death_n we_o shall_v be_v also_o into_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o resurrection_n if_o you_o suffer_v with_o he_o you_o shall_v reign_v with_o he_o if_o you_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o be_v faithful_a to_o the_o death_n he_o will_v give_v you_o a_o crown_n of_o life_n but_o if_o you_o deny_v he_o he_o will_v deny_v you_o if_o we_o

like_o he_o you_o must_v begin_v here_o no_o man_n can_v build_v a_o castle_n in_o the_o air_n if_o there_o be_v no_o foundation_n and_o there_o be_v no_o other_o foundation_n but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o he_o crucify_a now_o this_o death_n of_o christ_n take_v in_o a_o large_a compass_n and_o who_o will_v follow_v he_o here_o 1._o he_o die_v to_o all_o thing_n both_o lawful_a and_o unlawful_a he_o seek_v not_o himself_o in_o any_o thing_n he_o can_v have_v pray_v to_o his_o father_n and_o have_v command_v legion_n of_o angel_n to_o save_v he_o he_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o and_o yet_o

another_o now_o if_o you_o look_v it_o over_o how_o hard_o be_v we_o to_o part_v with_o unlawful_a thing_n we_o be_v hold_v what_o in_o our_o own_o conscience_n belong_v not_o to_o we_o and_o we_o
