A62893	The Muggletonians principles prevailing being an answer in full to a scandalous and malicious pamphlet, intituled A true representation of the absurd and mischevious principles of the sect called Muggletonians : herein the aforesaid principles are vindicated, and proved to be infallibly true : and the author of that libel, his scandalous title and subject proved as false to truth, as light is to darkness, and that he knows no more what the true God is, nor what the right devil is, nor any true principle or foundation of faith, for all his great learning he so much bosts of, then those Jews that put the Lord of life to death, for learned and taught reason is but natural, and so falls short of the glory of God, as will appear in the following discourse / by T.T.	Tomkinson, Thomas, 1631-1710?	1695 (1695)	Wing T1840; ESTC R18719	47,859	79

behold_v he_o as_o he_o be_v in_o his_o full_a glory_n 10.6_o deut._n 10.6_o if_o god_n be_v willing_a at_o any_o time_n that_o some_o of_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n shall_v behold_v he_o he_o

in_o his_o hand_n now_o it_o be_v true_a say_v this_o doctor_n moses_n spake_v in_o this_o manner_n to_o satisfy_v the_o rude_a multitude_n who_o be_v ever_o ready_a to_o think_v that_o god_n be_v

that_o god_n be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o man_n now_o why_o will_v not_o you_o permit_v we_o to_o believe_v so_o moses_n do_v not_o count_v this_o doctrine_n a_o mischievous_a principle_n as_o
