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.

be_v to_o put_v his_o hand_n to_o the_o plough_n look_v backward_o now_o his_o love_n be_v single_o fix_v upon_o its_o object_n but_o when_o it_o be_v not_o single_a how_o do_v he_o soon_o wander_v from_o it_o he_o be_v barefoot_a then_o but_o when_o he_o come_v home_o than_o the_o father_n put_v on_o his_o shoe_n they_o be_v not_o of_o his_o put_v on_o but_o the_o father_n do_v by_o his_o

for_o if_o he_o bring_v they_o not_o this_o evil_a and_o hypocritical_a will_n will_v be_v our_o undo_n but_o say_v god_n you_o shall_v find_v i_o when_o you_o shall_v seek_v i_o with_o all_o your_o
