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 ...

rejection_n speak_v of_o in_o holy_a writ_n have_v relation_n only_o to_o person_n of_o understanding_n and_o not_o unto_o child_n that_o be_v uncapable_a of_o any_o distinction_n between_o light_n

the_o lord_n of_o glory_n command_v his_o apostle_n to_o suffer_v little_a child_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o forbid_v they_o not_o and_o take_v they_o in_o his_o arm_n and_o bless_a they_o say_v of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n 9_o my_o belove_a spiritual_a friend_n if_o god_n only_o wise_a have_v say_v that_o his_o heavenly_a kingdom_n consist_v of_o little_a child_n or_o innocent_a childlike_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v not_o those_o man_n more_o like_a unto_o curse_a serpent_n than_o bless_a saint_n which_o contrary_a unto_o all_o spiritual_a literal_a or_o rational_a truth_n impudent_o affirm_v that_o little_a child_n may_v be_v eternal_o damn_v by_o original_a sin_n 10_o if_o all_o the_o seed_n of_o cain_n that_o die_v in_o their_o childhood_n shall_v find_v mercy_n in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a some_o man_n may_v say_v unto_o i_o shall_v the_o save_v child_n of_o cain_n and_o adam_n be_v of_o two_o contrary_a nature_n appear_v in_o the_o same_o kind_n or_o measure_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n vengeance_n upon_o ungodly_a man_n 11_o from_o the_o light_n of_o life_n eternal_a to_o this_o i_o answer_v as_o they_o differ_v in_o their_o nature_n in_o this_o life_n so_o shall_v they_o differ_v in_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n of_o their_o glory_n in_o that_o life_n to_o come_v 12_o the_o save_v child_n of_o the_o angelical_a serpent_n will_v enter_v into_o that_o rational_a glory_n out_o of_o which_o their_o reprobate_a father_n be_v cast_v 13_o but_o of_o the_o contrary_a the_o spiritual_a seed_n of_o adam_n shall_v enter_v into_o that_o glory_n from_o which_o he_o fall_v in_o a_o more_o transcendent_a godlike_a condition_n to_o all_o eternity_n 14_o but_o not_o in_o a_o paradissical_a separate_a place_n of_o glory_n in_o this_o creation_n as_o some_o man_n vain_o imagine_v but_o in_o that_o glorious_a new_a heaven_n and_o earth_n without_o or_o above_o this_o vanish_v starry_a heaven_n according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o holy_a writ_n 15_o thus_o the_o most_o wise_a and_o holy_a god_n of_o all_o spiritual_a and_o natural_a order_n restore_v his_o spiritual_a and_o rational_a image_n into_o their_o first_o create_v condition_n upon_o a_o more_o firm_a foundation_n of_o possess_v everlasting_a life_n and_o glory_n together_o purchase_v at_o a_o dear_a rate_n from_o his_o divine_a self_n by_o his_o own_o most_o precious_a blood_n or_o godhead_n life_n according_a to_o that_o say_n by_o the_o apostle_n paul_n christ_n therefore_o die_v and_o rise_v again_o and_o revive_v that_o he_o may_v be_v lord_n both_o of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o quick_a and_o of_o that_o say_n in_o the_o 20._o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n whereof_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v make_v you_o overseer_n to_o feed_v the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v with_o that_o his_o own_o blood_n 16_o again_o if_o you_o look_v in_o the_o 4._o chapter_n of_o genesis_n with_o a_o spiritual_a eye_n you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o god_n eternal_a election_n or_o rejection_n of_o man_n run_v in_o a_o line_n of_o personal_a understanding_n and_o not_o in_o a_o line_n of_o innocent_a child_n or_o natural_a fool_n the_o word_n be_v these_o and_o in_o process_n of_o time_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o cain_n bring_v a_o oblation_n unto_o the_o lord_n of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o abel_n also_o himself_o bring_v of_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o his_o sheep_n and_o of_o the_o fat_a of_o they_o and_o the_o lord_n have_v respect_n unto_o abel_n and_o to_o his_o offering_n but_o unto_o cain_n and_o his_o offering_n he_o have_v no_o regard_n 17_o you_o that_o be_v redeem_v from_o the_o power_n of_o all_o inward_a filthiness_n i_o beseech_v you_o what_o occasion_v the_o respection_n or_o disrespection_n between_o cain_n and_o abel_n in_o the_o pure_a eye_n of_o the_o creator_n 18_o sure_o not_o their_o offering_n for_o you_o know_v that_o god_n need_v no_o man_n person_n for_o his_o sacrifice_n sake_n in_o the_o least_o but_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o own_o name_n sake_n only_o 19_o yet_o you_o know_v that_o cain_n have_v as_o much_o wisdom_n from_o his_o own_o reason_n to_o present_v a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n unto_o the_o lord_n as_o abel_n 20_o yet_o it_o be_v the_o creator_n eternal_a free_a love_n unto_o abel_n which_o cause_v both_o his_o person_n and_o sacrifice_n to_o find_v such_o sweet_a acceptation_n with_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o divine_a love_n of_o god_n in_o abel_n may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o fatness_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n 21_o in_o that_o you_o may_v know_v he_o be_v make_v to_o offer_v up_o himself_o a_o live_a sacrifice_n of_o invisible_a and_o visible_a obedience_n unto_o the_o creator_n as_o a_o seal_n of_o his_o be_v choose_v to_o life_n eternal_a 22_o yet_o you_o may_v know_v it_o be_v not_o any_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n worship_n righteousness_n or_o desire_v in_o man_n or_o angel_n that_o can_v possible_o move_v the_o divine_a majesty_n to_o accept_v of_o it_o or_o his_o person_n in_o the_o least_o but_o it_o be_v his_o eternal_a free_a love_n in_o his_o own_o season_n which_o operate_v in_o he_o all_o heavenly_a mindedness_n or_o love_n to_o god_n or_o man_n 23_o but_o of_o the_o contrary_a you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o original_a cause_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o fearful_a darkness_n and_o fiery_a shame_n in_o cain_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o nonelection_n of_o his_o person_n 24_o this_o be_v his_o condition_n when_o he_o be_v mark_v with_o the_o invisible_a seal_n of_o reject_v both_o his_o person_n and_o sacrifice_n from_o those_o word_n wherefore_o cain_n be_v exceed_v wrath_n and_o his_o countenance_n fall_v down_o 25_o my_o belove_a christian_a friend_n what_o move_v cain_n to_o be_v so_o full_a of_o wrath_n or_o with_o who_o be_v he_o so_o fiery_a hot_a 26_o true_o as_o beforesaid_a his_o furious_a anger_n arise_v in_o he_o from_o a_o sensibleness_n of_o his_o outcast_a condition_n and_o because_o he_o can_v not_o come_v at_o the_o creator_n himself_o therefore_o his_o purpose_n be_v to_o avenge_v himself_o upon_o his_o favourite_n even_o innocent_a abel_n 27_o the_o scripture_n give_v you_o the_o reason_n thereof_o because_o his_o own_o work_n be_v evil_a and_o his_o brother_n good_a 28_o thus_o you_o that_o be_v endue_v with_o that_o light_n that_o can_v be_v disprove_v may_v see_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o light_n itself_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o he_o that_o will_v not_o in_o he_o that_o run_v but_o in_o god_n alone_o that_o show_v mercy_n 29_o what_o then_o think_v you_o in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n vengeance_n will_v become_v of_o those_o free-will-monger_n or_o oracle-grace_n merchant_n which_o curse_o teach_v their_o deceive_a fleshly_a brethren_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v in_o a_o condition_n of_o salvation_n to_o day_n and_o to_o morrow_n be_v cast_v away_o 30_o truly_n my_o spiritual_a friend_n if_o eternal_a election_n and_o rejection_n depend_v upon_o the_o acceptation_n of_o man_n will_n until_o he_o be_v bear_v again_o with_o a_o distinguish_a light_n from_o the_o

strengthen_v themselves_o in_o their_o atheistical_a error_n to_o prevent_v discovery_n they_o may_v or_o will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o world_n but_o this_o only_a and_o this_o world_n have_v never_o any_o beginning_n nor_o will_v never_o have_v any_o end_n man_n may_v talk_v of_o a_o creator_n and_o a_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o silver_n and_o honour_n or_o to_o keep_v child_n or_o fool_n in_o

that_o be_v true_o spiritual_a do_v or_o may_v know_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o every_o man_n natural_o be_v so_o curse_o proud_a that_o rather_o than_o man_n shall_v find_v he_o a_o liar_n in_o

that_o you_o bless_a one_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n 29_o the_o four_o and_o last_o sort_n of_o deceive_v man_n be_v so_o far_o from_o acknowledge_v christ_n personal_a reign_n with_o his_o saint_n in_o any_o kind_n whatsoever_o that_o they_o blasphemous_o affirm_v they_o be_v all_o god_n or_o christ_n themselves_o 30_o these_o be_v those_o which_o say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o that_o his_o spirit_n and_o their_o spirit_n be_v but_o one_o spirit_n only_o 31_o moreover_o to_o strongthen_v themselves_o in_o this_o their_o serpentine_a sophistry_n they_o can_v tell_v you_o from_o the_o record_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o his_o saint_n be_v his_o body_n 32_o also_o this_o sort_n of_o man_n pretend_v such_o a_o union_n with_o the_o divine_a majesty_n that_o they_o do_v not_o only_o attribute_v to_o themselves_o his_o holy_a name_n or_o title_n but_o lucifer-like_a they_o will_v tell_v the_o simple_a and_o fearful_a soul_n that_o they_o be_v set_v down_o in_o the_o throne_n of_o glory_n with_o christ_n already_o 33_o furthermore_n though_o this_o sort_n of_o saint_n in_o their_o own_o account_n be_v all_o king_n priest_n and_o prophet_n unto_o god_n yet_o if_o you_o shall_v ask_v they_o a_o sober_a question_n concern_v any_o spiritual_a thing_n after_o death_n they_o be_v so_o dead_a drink_v with_o their_o notional_a witchcraft_n that_o they_o count_v all_o man_n in_o darkness_n that_o see_v not_o themselves_o in_o the_o throne_n of_o immortal_a glory_n already_o as_o aforesaid_a 34_o again_o they_o also_o seem_v to_o be_v full_a of_o hymn_n or_o spiritual_a song_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o present_a glory_n they_o enjoy_v with_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n when_o the_o lord_n know_v they_o acknowledge_v no_o divine_a majesty_n or_o god_n at_o all_o but_o those_o imaginary_a siren_n song_n and_o their_o own_o natural_a blinde-born_a spirit_n from_o whence_o they_o proceed_v 35_o this_o sort_n of_o seem_v glorious_a saint_n do_v imagine_v their_o spirit_n so_o divine_a that_o they_o think_v it_o impossible_a it_o shall_v ever_o see_v death_n but_o they_o like_v unto_o child_n or_o fool_n conceit_n their_o body_n turn_v to_o dust_n for_o ever_o but_o their_o soul_n ascend_v into_o a_o unknown_a spiritual_a glory_n 36_o therefore_o if_o a_o man_n speak_v of_o a_o personal_a god_n or_o a_o personal_a glory_n in_o a_o life_n to_o come_v they_o will_v tell_v he_o he_o trouble_v himself_o above_o a_o simple_a carnal_a god_n and_o glory_n that_o be_v not_o 37_o but_o if_o he_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o be_v possess_v with_o divine_a light_n life_n or_o glory_n in_o his_o own_o soul_n as_o they_o do_v he_o will_v no_o more_o trouble_v himself_o in_o the_o least_o concern_v a_o god_n or_o glory_n to_o come_v at_o a_o distance_n 38_o there_o be_v some_o among_o these_o of_o a_o more_o pure_a sort_n which_o speak_v many_o sweet_a truth_n and_o according_a to_o their_o light_n they_o live_v in_o they_o only_o poor_a heart_n as_o yet_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o fountain_n of_o glory_n from_o whence_o their_o spiritual_a stream_n proceed_v 39_o moreover_o though_o they_o can_v close_v with_o a_o personal_a god_n and_o personal_a glory_n of_o the_o elect_a in_o another_o durable_a world_n and_o a_o personal_a shame_n of_o reprobate_n in_o this_o world_n to_o all_o

40_o therefore_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o in_o due_a season_n they_o shall_v be_v reveal_v to_o they_o unto_o their_o everlasting_a joy_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o high_a heaven_n as_o aforesaid_a 41_o furthermore_n though_o these_o elect_a vessel_n at_o present_a understand_v no_o other_o god_n but_o what_o be_v within_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v afraid_a to_o call_v themselves_o
