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.

sure_o we_o be_v beyond_o they_o and_o honest_a than_o they_o there_o be_v something_o that_o judge_n and_o get_v above_o they_o do_v what_o they_o can_v and_o however_o they_o envy_v hate_v and_o oppose_v and_o will_v not_o stoop_v under_o it_o yet_o such_o a_o glory_n there_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n such_o a_o lustre_n and_o shine_a as_o will_v manifest_v itself_o and_o therefore_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o righteous_a shall_v shine_v as_o the_o sun_n in_o the_o firmament_n 4._o the_o four_o great_a and_o precious_a promise_n be_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o virtue_n now_o virtue_n be_v either_o take_v for_o a_o quick_a and_o lively_a fresh_a power_n in_o any_o thing_n as_o when_o we_o say_v such_o a_o herb_n be_v full_a of_o virtue_n to_o smell_v on_o or_o such_o meat_n be_v full_a of_o virtue_n to_o taste_v on_o or_o else_o virtue_n be_v some_o secret_a hide_a power_n which_o can_v neither_o be_v smell_v nor_o taste_v but_o yet_o be_v perceive_v as_o in_o the_o loadstone_n there_o be_v a_o hide_a virtue_n to_o draw_v iron_n etc._n etc._n so_o there_o be_v a_o lively_a virtuous_a power_n in_o the_o word_n of_o life_n it_o will_v take_v some_o effect_n or_o other_o and_o not_o return_v in_o vain_a for_o either_o it_o meet_v with_o its_o own_o kind_n in_o we_o and_o that_o relish_v and_o taste_v and_o find_v a_o sweetness_n in_o it_o as_o david_n say_v thy_o word_n be_v sweet_a unto_o i_o then_o the_o honey_n and_o the_o honeycomb_n it_o be_v a_o sweet_a smell_a savour_n to_o that_o a_o savour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n but_o if_o it_o meet_v with_o the_o enemy_n that_o evil_a principle_n in_o we_o that_o curse_n and_o rage_n and_o rent_n and_o teer_v the_o child_n at_o the_o sight_n of_o jesus_n it_o be_v a_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n to_o that_o who_o ever_o they_o be_v that_o neither_o taste_n a_o sweetness_n in_o truth_n nor_o smell_v a_o savour_n of_o rest_n from_o it_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o secret_a virtue_n that_o will_v cut_v they_o to_o the_o heart_n nabal_n heart_n die_v and_o faint_v in_o he_o do_v what_o he_o can_v it_o strike_v a_o secret_a blow_n and_o get_v in_o between_o the_o joint_n of_o the_o armour_n there_o be_v a_o live_a virtue_n in_o it_o and_o like_o a_o potion_n of_o physic_n it_o will_v work_v one_o way_n or_o other_o either_o make_v better_a or_o worse_o and_o thus_o the_o first_o thing_n be_v open_v to_o you_o what_o be_v these_o great_a and_o precious_a promise_n and_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o next_o thing_n to_o open_v what_o it_o be_v to_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n i_o will_v have_v this_o i_o have_v say_v well_o look_v over_o by_o you_o for_o who_o of_o you_o be_v yet_o fit_a to_o be_v marry_v to_o christ_n he_o will_v not_o take_v another_o man_n wife_n while_o we_o have_v a_o husband_n live_v any_o create_a thing_n in_o who_o bosom_n we_o lie_v and_o take_v delight_n and_o pleasure_n so_o long_o we_o be_v not_o a_o wife_n for_o christ_n and_o if_o our_o heart_n be_v pull_v off_o by_o force_n only_o and_o the_o way_n hedge_v up_o that_o we_o can_v find_v our_o lover_n this_o be_v not_o that_o which_o please_v he_o neither_o he_o will_v not_o marry_v a_o divorce_a woman_n but_o only_o a_o chaste_a virgin_n a_o heart_n that_o stand_v loose_a and_o clean_o from_o all_o corruptible_a thing_n such_o a_o heart_n only_o be_v a_o fit_a spouse_n for_o christ_n to_o be_v partaker_n of_o this_o divine_a nature_n but_o 1._o it_o concern_v some_o of_o you_o to_o inquire_v what_o ●it_n be_v you_o seek_v life_n or_o death_n none_o of_o you_o i_o know_v will_v say_v death_n you_o will_v all_o have_v life_n but_o what_o then_o mean_v the_o bleat_n the_o cry_n and_o hunt_n after_o perish_a thing_n where_o death_n be_v in_o the_o pot_n why_o be_v you_o live_v in_o the_o creature_n in_o your_o own_o will_n and_o counsel_n why_o be_v you_o not_o at_o a_o strait_a to_o cry_v out_o to_o be_v save_v if_o life_n be_v the_o thing_n you_o seek_v there_o be_v many_o seeker_n in_o the_o world_n the_o greek_n seek_v after_o wisdom_n and_o the_o jew_n they_o seek_v a_o sign_n some_o seek_v ease_n and_o quiet_a and_o rest_n from_o their_o torment_n some_o seek_v wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o part_n to_o be_v great_a and_o honour_a but_o death_n be_v in_o all_o this_o see_v then_o what_o will_v you_o have_v be_v life_n the_o thing_n you_o seek_v for_o or_o have_v you_o it_o already_o if_o you_o be_v partaker_n of_o life_n indeed_o than_o the_o rest_n will_v follow_v godliness_n will_v then_o come_v in_o a_o godlike_a mind_n to_o be_v just_a single_a merciful_a h_o lie_n like_v to_o the_o pattern_n and_o then_o glory_n will_v follow_v your_o good_a work_n will_v shine_v before_o man_n and_o then_o a_o virtue_n will_v go_v forth_o which_o may_v be_v savor_v and_o relish_v in_o all_o your_o word_n and_o action_n but_o now_o do_v these_o thing_n appear_v in_o we_o what_o be_v it_o we_o seek_v what_o will_v we_o have_v be_v life_n the_o thing_n will_v we_o have_v christ_n to_o dwell_v in_o we_o no_o we_o will_v not_o all_o come_v so_o near_o we_o will_v have_v christ_n a_o great_a way_n off_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n to_o save_v we_o at_o the_o last_o gasp_n when_o we_o come_v to_o die_v but_o not_o live_v the_o life_n of_o the_o righteous_a but_o be_v not_o deceive_v it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o come_v hither_o if_o we_o seek_v not_o life_n but_o then_o 2._o suppose_v a_o stress_n be_v upon_o you_o that_o indeed_o you_o will_v reach_v out_o to_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n because_o you_o be_v smite_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o can_v escape_v the_o hand_n but_o it_o will_v bring_v you_o to_o death_n do_v what_o you_o can_v but_o now_o inquire_v upon_o what_o ground_n will_v thou_o have_v life_n upon_o what_o account_n why_o do_v thou_o hope_v or_o expect_v it_o be_v it_o promise_v to_o thou_o be_v the_o word_n go_v forth_o from_o christ_n that_o he_o will_v raise_v thou_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n what_o ground_n have_v you_o to_o hope_v more_o than_o all_o the_o world_n though_o you_o may_v seek_v it_o yet_o that_o will_v not_o do_v it_o neither_o esau_n seek_v the_o blessing_n with_o tear_n and_o christ_n say_v many_o shall_v seek_v to_o enter_v and_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a and_o paul_n say_v that_o israel_n obtain_v not_o what_o they_o seek_v after_o but_o the_o election_n obtain_v it_o there_o be_v a_o people_n which_o shall_v sure_o be_v partaker_n of_o life_n to_o who_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v but_o no_o other_o the_o promise_n be_v sure_a to_o all_o the_o seed_n therefore_o see_v how_o stand_v thou_o in_o all_o thy_o seek_n and_o hope_v for_o life_n have_v thou_o ever_o a_o promise_n of_o life_n give_v thou_o either_o to_o thyself_o witness_v to_o thy_o own_o soul_n or_o give_v to_o any_o of_o his_o people_n for_o thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v live_v etc._n etc._n for_o a_o vain_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o go_v and_o take_v promise_v up_o out_o of_o the_o scripture_n and_o make_v they_o our_o own_o promise_v make_v to_o abraham_n and_o david_n and_o the_o rest_n what_o be_v these_o to_o thou_o unless_o god_n make_v they_o over_o and_o give_v they_o to_o thou_o as_o he_o do_v to_o they_o and_o then_o 3._o inquire_v what_o will_v you_o have_v life_n for_o will_v you_o have_v it_o to_o please_v yourselves_o to_o live_v to_o your_o will_n to_o be_v at_o ease_n and_o be_v free_v from_o trouble_n alas_o this_o be_v not_o a_o right_n seek_v of_o it_o as_o jehu_n answer_v the_o king_n messenger_n concern_v peace_n what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v with_o peace_n so_o what_o have_v thou_o to_o do_v with_o life_n it_o belong_v not_o to_o thou_o unless_o there_o be_v that_o end_n in_o it_o to_o live_v for_o another_o service_n and_o not_o thy_o own_o therefore_o it_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n to_o know_v what_o we_o be_v about_o i_o wonder_v sometime_o on_o what_o uncertain_a bottom_n you_o stand_v you_o know_v not_o whither_o you_o go_v nor_o what_o you_o will_v have_v in_o all_o your_o hear_n but_o like_o the_o picture_n of_o a_o rampant_a lion_n on_o the_o wall_n come_v seven_o year_n hence_o and_o that_o be_v still_o in_o the_o same_o place_n so_o i_o have_v know_v some_o of_o you_o these_o many_o year_n to_o be_v seeker_n and_o professor_n and_o talker_n but_o you_o be_v still_o where_o you_o be_v seven_o year_n ago_o as_o carnal_a sensual_a as_o blind_a &_o ignorant_a in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o much_o glue_v to_o the_o world_n and_o seek_v yourselves_o not_o remove_v a_o step_n near_a god_n than_o you_o be_v etc._n etc._n
