A54177 The new witnesses proved old hereticks, or, Information to the ignorant in which the doctrines of John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton, which they stile, mysteries never before known, revealed, or heard of from the foundation of the world, are proved to be mostly ancient whimsies, blasphemies and heresies, from the evidence of Scripture, reason and several historians : also an account of some discoourse betwixt L.M. and my self, by which his blasphemous, ignorant and unsavory spirit is clearly and truly manifested, in love to the immortal souls of those few, who are concern'd in the belief of his impostures / by a living true witness to that one eternal way of God, revealed in the light of righteousness W.P.

there_o be_v nothing_o mortal_a that_o be_v not_o elementary_a or_o compose_v of_o visible_a matter_n or_o substance_n but_o the_o body_n be_v that_o only_a part_n of_o man_n which_o be_v so_o

anno_fw-la 249._o 1423._o year_n since_o five_o but_o their_o most_o admirable_a secret_n of_o all_o be_v that_o god_n descend_v with_o his_o body_n in_o the_o shape_n of_o a_o man_n and_o dissolve_v

that_o cry_v to_o he_o be_v not_o god_n but_o elias_n real_o god_n and_o so_o they_o both_o contradict_v their_o own_o doctrine_n who_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n

three_o brief_a argument_n 1._o if_o elias_n be_v not_o the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n nor_o lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n but_o a_o create_v be_v as_o all_o confess_v than_o it_o be_v not_o unto_o elias_n that_o jesus_n return_v that_o heavenly_a thanksgiving_n but_o to_o his_o own_o father_n great_a than_o all_o who_o be_v lord_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n 2._o if_o he_o to_o who_o he_o pray_v be_v that_o only_o true_a god_n and_o that_o to_o know_v he_o and_o christ_n jesus_n who_o he_o have_v send_v be_v life_n eternal_a then_o be_v it_o not_o elias_n to_o who_o he_o pray_v because_o all_o grant_n that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o only_a true_a god_n nor_o do_v he_o so_o love_v the_o world_n as_o to_o send_v his_o only_a beget_v into_o the_o world_n that_o through_o believe_v in_o he_o it_o may_v obtain_v eternal_a life_n this_o most_o plain_o knock_v down_o all_o conceit_n of_o a_o depute_a god_n that_o christ_n shall_v pray_v unto_o because_o
