A58336 A divine looking-glass, or, The third and last testament of Our Lord Jesus Christ whose personal residence is seated on his throne of eternal glory in another world : being the commission of the spirit, agreeing with, and explaining of the two former commissions of the law and Gospel, differing only in point of worship : set forth for the tryal of all sorts of supposed spiritual lights in the world, until the ever-lasting true Jesus, the onely high and mighty God, pesonally appear in the air with his saints and angels / by John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton ...

they_o may_v have_v no_o confidence_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o that_o light_n which_o be_v within_o they_o but_o that_o they_o may_v cast_v down_o the_o crown_n of_o their_o spiritual_a confidence_n at_o the_o divine_a foot_n of_o his_o heavenly_a majesty_n as_o the_o only_a author_n protector_n and_o finisher_n of_o their_o eternal_a blessedness_n 11_o so_o likewise_o it_o be_v with_o the_o elect_a also_o when_o they_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n for_o though_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v they_o as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o eternal_a love_n that_o they_o may_v glory_v only_o in_o the_o lamb_n and_o be_v enable_v to_o wear_v his_o crown_n of_o thorn_n to_o their_o life_n end_v as_o a_o preparative_n unto_o glorious_a crown_n at_o his_o appear_v yet_o i_o will_v have_v you_o for_o who_o these_o thorn_n and_o crown_n be_v prepare_v to_o understand_v because_o the_o life_n of_o all_o light_n or_o glory_v you_o possess_v be_v hide_v in_o the_o divine_a breast_n or_o book_n of_o life_n with_o christ_n in_o god_n 12_o therefore_o when_o your_o soul_n come_v to_o die_v all_o your_o spiritual_a motion_n must_v enter_v into_o death_n also_o until_o time_n be_v no_o more_o because_o the_o power_n wisdom_n and_o glory_n of_o christ_n will_v be_v see_v in_o this_o thing_n above_o all_o his_o former_a work_n 13_o again_o he_o be_v the_o only_a light_n and_o life_n of_o man_n will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n to_o his_o infinite_a power_n see_v the_o spirit_n of_o mankind_n be_v mix_v together_o in_o the_o sea_n and_o earth_n in_o a_o marvellous_a manner_n yet_o by_o a_o word_n speak_v he_o shall_v call_v his_o elect_a by_o name_n as_o he_o do_v lazarus_n and_o they_o shall_v hear_v his_o voice_n and_o come_v forth_o of_o their_o grave_n as_o one_o man_n with_o distinct_a person_n all_o glorious_a yet_o very_a flesh_n and_o bone_n and_o with_o those_o elect_v then_o live_v who_o body_n shall_v be_v transmute_v into_o glory_n also_o ascend_v as_o swift_a as_o thought_n to_o meet_v their_o god_n in_o the_o air_n and_o sit_v in_o throne_n of_o judgement_n with_o he_o over_o all_o the_o angel_n of_o darkness_n remain_v in_o this_o destroy_a world_n for_o everlasting_a 14_o moreover_o if_o that_o error_n of_o man_n body_n die_v only_o and_o not_o their_o soul_n can_v possible_o be_v true_a than_o no_o man_n can_v die_v or_o be_v put_v to_o death_n at_o all_o because_o the_o life_n of_o man_n body_n be_v his_o spirit_n and_o but_o one_o spirit_n only_o though_o there_o be_v a_o double_a motion_n in_o it_o of_o contrary_a

thus_o you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a may_v see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o saint_n live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o concern_v the_o place_n of_o refuge_n where_o their_o life_n be_v hide_v both_o in_o life_n and_o in_o death_n be_v not_o this_o truth_n answerable_a to_o those_o say_n of_o christ_n himself_o in_o john_n the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v unto_o you_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n he_o that_o believe_v in_o i_o though_o he_o be_v dead_a yet_o shall_v he_o live_v and_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n say_v behold_v i_o make_v all_o thing_n new_a revelation_n the_o 20._o and_o i_o will_v raise_v he_o up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n again_o jesus_n say_v unto_o she_o say_v i_o not_o unto_o thou_o that_o if_o

and_o to_o call_v forth_o the_o dead_a live_a into_o shameful_a cursedness_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o utter_a darkness_n burn_v together_o to_o eternity_n on_o this_o earth_n where_o they_o

be_v three_o in_o number_n the_o book_n of_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o law_n must_v be_v open_v in_o the_o conscience_n of_o they_o that_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o make_v a_o

all_o their_o lie_n speak_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o blasphemy_n against_o his_o majesty_n person_n shall_v burn_v more_o fiery_a hot_a then_o any_o other_o opinion_n among_o man_n even_o to_o all_o eternity_n as_o aforesaid_a all_o be_v not_o spiritual_a gold_n that_o glister_v 4_o again_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o speak_v of_o one_o sort_n more_o who_o natural_a conscience_n must_v be_v open_v also_o 5_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v those_o call_v heathen_n which_o never_o have_v the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n among_o they_o i_o say_v from_o the_o true_a god_n that_o these_o man_n and_o all_o the_o naturalist_n in_o the_o world_n according_a to_o their_o rebellion_n against_o their_o rational_a judge_n unto_o which_o they_o acknowledge_v all_o obedience_n of_o righteousness_n between_o man_n and_o man_n be_v due_a this_o
christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o that_o light_n they_o be_v account_v to_o live_v and_o to_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o rise_v again_o in_o the_o lord_n both_o soul_n and_o body_n because_o of_o their_o godlike_a condition_n even_o to_o all_o eternity_n 7_o thus_o you_o that_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o light_n of_o the_o true_a jesus_n may_v clear_o see_v though_o a_o natural_a man_n by_o virtue_n of_o creation_n may_v be_v say_v to_o live_v in_o or_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o upon_o a_o spiritual_a account_n in_o reference_n to_o redemption_n he_o may_v be_v a_o absolute_a devil_n in_o himself_o and_o so_o whole_o live_v in_o the_o dark_a power_n 8_o moreover_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o saint_n live_v and_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o think_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v so_o unite_v that_o they_o be_v but_o one_o essential_a life_n or_o spirit_n no_o that_o be_v none_o of_o the_o apostle_n intent_n in_o those_o word_n but_o as_o beforesaid_a his_o meaning_n be_v that_o those_o man_n which_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o true_a light_n of_o life_n eternal_a by_o a_o continual_a intercourse_n with_o the_o god_n of_o glory_n from_o whence_o that_o light_n proceed_v they_o be_v virtual_o unite_v unto_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n 9_o though_o the_o choose_a of_o god_n be_v virtual_o unite_v to_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n of_o a_o glorify_a christ_n yet_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v they_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n or_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o their_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n true_o most_o of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n themselves_o be_v dark_a in_o this_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o seal_a book_n unto_o they_o the_o lord_n alone_o must_v open_v it_o 10_o my_o belove_a brethren_n as_o there_o be_v two_o life_n of_o the_o elect_a in_o the_o lord_n a_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o life_n of_o glory_n proceed_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n only_o differ_v much_o in_o degree_n so_o likewise_o you_o may_v know_v there_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v two_o death_n or_o die_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o the_o lord_n also_o 11_o moreover_o you_o know_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a bear_v of_o god_n they_o become_v dead_a to_o all_o their_o former_a inward_a filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n as_o namely_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o covetousness_n envy_n pride_n lust_n yea_o and_o all_o excess_n of_o vainglorious_a delight_n among_o man_n that_o perish_v so_o likewise_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o all_o their_o formal_a righteousness_n or_o hypocritical_a holiness_n to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n 12_o moreover_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o all_o carnal_a christ_n in_o man_n whatsoever_o whether_o they_o be_v literal_a natural_a or_o notional_a christ_n of_o empty_a word_n only_o arise_v only_o from_o that_o blinde-born_a devil_n of_o man_n imaginary_a reason_n 13_o furthermore_o there_o be_v such_o a_o self-denying_a spirit_n in_o all_o experimental_a true_a bear_v christian_n from_o the_o high_a heaven_n that_o they_o abhor_v to_o put_v confidence_n in_o any_o god_n christ_n light_n or_o life_n to_o give_v glory_n unto_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o sinful_a man_n or_o angel_n in_o the_o least_o 14_o because_o they_o certain_o know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o motion_n or_o thought_n of_o any_o spiritual_a light_n or_o truth_n in_o man_n or_o angel_n but_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o a_o infinite_a glorious_a majesty_n who_o personal_a presence_n be_v in_o a_o world_n where_o never_o any_o actual_a rebellion_n be_v commit_v against_o his_o holy_a spirit_n 15_o thus_o in_o a_o small_a measure_n through_o divine_a assistance_n i_o have_v show_v you_o what_o be_v the_o first_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o first_o resurrection_n from_o carnal_a darkness_n to_o the_o true_a light_n of_o life_n in_o christ_n jesus_n god-man_n bless_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o amen_n now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o write_v a_o little_a of_o the_o second_o and_o last_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n because_o of_o the_o eternal_a personal_a glory_n that_o will_v immediate_o follow_v it_o chap._n l._n 1_o of_o the_o second_o and_o last_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n 2_o what_o it_o be_v 3_o eternal_a life_n be_v hide_v in_o the_o person_n of_o god_n only_o i_o know_v the_o general_a cheat_n of_o the_o priest_n concern_v this_o secret_a for_o hey_o tell_v the_o ignorant_a people_n that_o the_o body_n only_o die_v and_o the_o soul_n ascend_v to_o a_o place_n of_o blessedness_n or_o descend_v to_o a_o place_n of_o cursedness_n until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o they_o say_v then_o the_o soul_n assume_v the_o body_n again_o and_o so_o receive_v the_o sentence_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o death_n and_o so_o enter_v into_o heaven_n to_o the_o lord_n or_o hell_n with_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n which_o they_o say_v be_v bodiless_a spirit_n 2_o if_o the_o blind_a lead_v the_o blind_a how_o can_v they_o escape_v fall_v into_o a_o ditch_n this_o opinion_n of_o they_o be_v like_a unto_o most_o of_o their_o matter_n but_o i_o will_v pass_v they_o by_o and_o come_v to_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n 3_o you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a may_v know_v that_o to_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v when_o a_o man_n spirit_n die_v in_o a_o full_a assurance_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o body_n again_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o spiritual_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n at_o the_o last_o day_n 4_o furthermore_o he_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n though_o all_o that_o be_v in_o he_o turn_v to_o dust_n for_o a_o moment_n yet_o before_o he_o enter_v into_o the_o silent_a sleep_n of_o death_n he_o know_v who_o will_v raise_v he_o to_o life_n and_o glory_n again_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o time_n 5_o you_o know_v it_o be_v write_v when_o christ_n which_o be_v our_o life_n shall_v appear_v then_o shall_v you_o also_o appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n now_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o apostle_n mean_v a_o personal_a glory_n that_o be_v eternal_a with_o christ_n in_o his_o personal_a presence_n and_o not_o a_o particular_a spiritual_a glory_n in_o the_o elect_a which_o be_v hide_v and_o in_o stead_n of_o love_n occasion_v a_o general_a hatred_n and_o persecution_n of_o man_n as_o a_o delusion_n unto_o they_o and_o the_o like_a 6_o moreover_o you_o know_v though_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v ravish_v with_o more_o glorious_a income_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o brethren_n yet_o he_o have_v many_o sorrowful_a affliction_n mix_v with_o those_o heavenly_a rapture_n 7_o therefore_o you_o may_v know_v if_o you_o be_v a_o heir_n of_o glory_n that_o this_o appear_v of_o christ_n in_o glory_n to_o his_o suffering_n innocent_a people_n be_v mean_v such_o a_o like_a glory_n as_o he_o now_o possess_v himself_o in_o a_o throne_n of_o eternity_n where_o be_v neither_o hunger_n nor_o thirst_n nor_o affliction_n of_o sickness_n nor_o death_n nor_o need_v of_o any_o sun_n moon_n or_o star_n or_o any_o kind_n of_o natural_a comfort_n for_o everlasting_a 8_o furthermore_o though_o a_o man_n be_v full_a of_o the_o glorious_a income_n of_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n yet_o you_o may_v know_v that_o his_o life_n be_v hide_v in_o that_o fountain_n of_o spiritual_a enjoyment_n in_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o earth_n above_o this_o whole_a globe_n why_o because_o if_o a_o man_n life_n or_o glory_n be_v hide_v in_o that_o light_n within_o they_o than_o he_o will_v not_o only_o be_v full_a of_o unmoveable_a consolation_n but_o he_o will_v also_o increase_v in_o himself_o with_o such_o godlike_a wisdom_n power_n and_o glory_n that_o no_o envious_a man_n will_v be_v able_a to_o behold_v his_o face_n and_o live_v 9_o though_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o new_a bear_v one_o occasion_n much_o joy_n and_o peace_n of_o conscience_n and_o power_n to_o suffer_v persecution_n for_o his_o name_n sake_n yet_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o glory_n of_o that_o light_n may_v well_o be_v say_v to_o be_v hide_v with_o god_n in_o christ_n because_o the_o quicken_a power_n of_o his_o spiritual_a light_n in_o man_n or_o angel_n remain_v only_o in_o his_o own_o person_n which_o be_v the_o fountain_n or_o sea_n of_o all_o heavenly_a glory_n as_o aforesaid_a without_o i_o say_v christ_n you_o can_v do_v nothing_o you_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o think_v a_o good_a thought_n 10_o you_o may_v know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o christ_n glory_n which_o compel_v he_o to_o keep_v the_o prerogative_n power_n of_o all_o his_o light_n or_o life_n in_o elect_a man_n and_o angel_n to_o himself_o that_o
