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.

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

of_o spirit_n and_o yet_o a_o great_a headiness_n therefore_o say_v paul_n let_v your_o moderation_n be_v see_v in_o all_o thing_n for_o if_o we_o can_v say_v as_o job_n the_o lord_n give_v and_o the_o lord_n take_v away_o and_o bless_v be_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v not_o a_o sober_a love_n therefore_o put_v off_o thy_o shoe_n say_v god_n to_o moses_n he_o be_v yet_o

but_o as_o if_o god_n

who_o be_v they_o that_o have_v be_v our_o accuser_n that_o have_v secret_o inform_v and_o raise_v mischief_n against_o we_o and_o make_v a_o evil_a of_o what_o they_o have_v hear_v and_o see_v among_o we_o be_v they_o not_o our_o brethren_n such_o as_o be_v in_o society_n with_o we_o man_n of_o our_o own_o house_n and_o we_o walk_v together_o into_o the_o house_n of_o god_n as_o friend_n such_o as_o have_v hear_v and_o pray_v and_o join_v with_o we_o and_o yet_o have_v go_v out_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o we_o these_o have_v be_v our_o great_a enemy_n 4._o child_n shall_v rise_v up_o against_o their_o parent_n to_o put_v they_o to_o death_n and_o how_o have_v this_o prove_v true_a in_o my_o my_o own_o child_n come_v as_o the_o main_a witness_n against_o i_o he_o that_o

i_o and_o then_o parent_n against_o their_o child_n this_o i_o have_v prove_v true_a also_o those_o that_o have_v look_v upon_o themselves_o as_o my_o father_n in_o christ_n from_o who_o i_o have_v first_o receive_v the_o truth_n such_o as_o have_v travel_v and_o pray_v yea_o and_o witness_v for_o i_o that_o i_o belong_v to_o god_n yet_o how_o be_v these_o now_o secret_o turn_v against_o i_o and_o in_o a_o treacherous_a undermine_a way_n have_v wrought_v and_o do_v work_v what_o they_o can_v to_o undo_v i_o such_o a_o strange_a unnaturalness_n be_v there_o among_o man_n and_o if_o the_o lord_n favour_v we_o not_o we_o know_v not_o but_o they_o may_v see_v their_o will_n accomplish_v against_o we_o and_o take_v away_o our_o life_n we_o know_v not_o what_o they_o may_v be_v suffer_v to_o do_v against_o we_o for_o this_o be_v not_o our_o country_n our_o kingdom_n be_v not_o of_o this_o world_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v malice_n and_o envy_n enough_o in_o all_o these_o

to_o kill_v the_o body_n how_o may_v man_n do_v that_o what_o way_n may_v they_o find_v out_o to_o bring_v this_o about_o for_o though_o it_o be_v not_o the_o main_a thing_n or_o that_o which_o we_o shall_v fear_v if_o call_v to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v of_o use_v to_o be_v inform_v in_o the_o several_a way_n man_n may_v take_v to_o destroy_v our_o body_n if_o the_o

our_o bread_n may_v be_v take_v out_o of_o our_o mouth_n we_o may_v be_v so_o impoverish_v by_o lawyer_n and_o jailer_n and_o fine_n and_o strange_a way_n that_o may_v be_v find_v out_o by_o our_o

day_n 2._o man_n may_v destroy_v the_o body_n by_o raise_v strange_a reproach_n and_o scandal_n and_o such_o evil_a report_n against_o we_o that_o all_o man_n will_v be_v shy_a of_o deal_n with_o we_o all_o our_o trade_n and_o commerce_n with_o man_n by_o which_o our_o life_n be_v outward_o maintain_v may_v be_v thus_o take_v from_o we_o as_o i_o hear_v some_o say_v in_o my_o own_o hear_n hang_v they_o speak_v of_o we_o they_o be_v a_o base_a reproach_v people_n we_o will_v not_o buy_v of_o they_o of_o all_o other_o and_o thus_o by_o such_o scandalous_a report_n as_o these_o it_o may_v grow_v to_o that_o pass_n that_o we_o may_v have_v neither_o liberty_n to_o buy_v nor_o sell_v etc._n etc._n 3._o another_o way_n by_o which_o man_n may_v destroy_v the_o body_n be_v by_o bind_v our_o hand_n that_o we_o may_v not_o defend_v ourselves_o who_o ever_o set_v upon_o we_o and_o thus_o we_o have_v be_v deal_v with_o some_o of_o we_o bind_v to_o our_o good_a behaviour_n that_o we_o may_v not_o so_o much_o as_o strike_v a_o dog_n to_o defend_v ourselves_o and_o who_o ever_o will_v may_v come_v and_o set_v upon_o we_o and_o we_o have_v no_o remedy_n in_o our_o hand_n we_o may_v not_o stir_v against_o they_o for_o our_o defence_n 4._o another_o way_n they_o may_v take_v to_o destroy_v our_o body_n be_v by_o lie_v at_o the_o catch_n to_o ensnare_v and_o entrap_v and_o make_v a_o evil_a in_o wrest_v word_n contrary_a to_o our_o real_a intention_n and_o purpose_n as_o my_o own_o son_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o say_v to_o my_o face_n i_o will_v take_v a_o hundred_o oath_n if_o i_o can_v ensnare_v you_o now_o what_o a_o miserable_a case_n be_v this_o if_o a_o word_n shall_v slip_v either_o unadvised_o or_o out_o of_o ignorance_n that_o this_o shall_v be_v catch_v at_o and_o a_o

make_v a_o evil_a in_o tenter_v our_o word_n beyond_o their_o meaning_n so_o by_o tenter_v out_o the_o law_n to_o the_o utmost_a exactness_n and_o rigour_n in_o all_o point_n against_o we_o so_o that_o a_o man_n can_v hardly_o speak_v to_o another_o or_o stir_v any_o way_n in_o his_o business_n but_o if_o the_o law_n be_v reach_v out_o and_o tenter_v to_o the_o utmost_a he_o may_v be_v find_v liable_a to_o some_o forfeiture_n or_o other_o you_o that_o be_v stranger_n this_o day_n and_o come_v without_o any_o ill_a intent_n into_o this_o house_n to_o hear_v i_o speak_v you_o may_v be_v trouble_v for_o come_v into_o the_o house_n or_o pass_v through_o a_o close_a without_o leave_n such_o strange_a way_n may_v be_v to_o tenter_v out_o the_o law_n if_o the_o lord_n shall_v suffer_v man_n in_o this_o to_o stir_v against_o we_o 6._o man_n may_v destroy_v the_o body_n by_o raise_v false_a witness_n against_o we_o and_o charge_v we_o of_o that_o false_o which_o we_o be_v no_o way_n guilty_a of_o and_o thus_o be_v christ_n deal_v with_o and_o many_o of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n have_v be_v false_o accuse_v false_o witness_v against_o and_o so_o condemn_v to_o death_n and_o in_o our_o late_a indictment_n charge_v upon_o we_o those_o that_o have_v appear_v against_o we_o what_o utter_a falseness_n have_v be_v in_o their_o oath_n and_o witness_v against_o we_o and_o what_o further_o they_o may_v be_v suffer_v to_o swear_v against_o we_o we_o can_v tell_v and_o at_o last_o two_o false_a witness_n come_v pointblank_o against_o christ_n and_o so_o take_v away_o his_o life_n 7._o our_o life_n may_v be_v take_v away_o by_o the_o law_n of_o man_n sometime_o when_o we_o may_v be_v no_o way_n guilty_a by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n so_o i_o remember_v when_o the_o
