A63786 Truth's triumph over errour: or, The routing of the seven false prophets who have all lived in London in lesse then these 20. years: (viz.) Farnam, Bull, weavers, Robbins, Garment husbandmen. Smith, a shooe-maker. Muggleton and Reeve, taylors. Wherein is clearly discovered and confuted all their most blasphemous, damnable, false and rediculous tenents. Themselves and falshoods opened, anatomized, and dissected, and found to be no better then impostures, liers, deluders, and spirituall gypsies. Proved by time the mother of truth, reason, scripture, and their own contradictions. Written by Stephen Proud-love, a lover of the truth. 1653 (1653) Wing T3172A; ESTC R219214 8,882 17

base_a deceivable_a quality_n and_o therefore_o i_o conclude_v these_o and_o so_o go_v on_o to_o the_o next_o the_o second_o two_o pretend_a prophet_n be_v john_n robbins_n and_o joseph_n garment_n who_o be_v both_o yet_o alive_a who_o do_v declare_v that_o they_o be_v god_n and_o have_v power_n to_o raise_v the_o dead_a and_o second_o by_o the_o clap_v of_o their_o hand_n they_o be_v able_a

they_o shall_v find_v their_o skin_n upon_o they_o will_v destroy_v with_o desperate_a violence_n with_o many_o other_o foolish_a absurdity_n not_o worth_a the_o relate_n a_o description_n of_o the_o

shall_v pronounce_v to_o be_v bless_v or_o save_v shall_v be_v partaker_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o to_o all_o eternity_n by_o mean_n whereof_o like_o crafty_a fouler_n they_o catch_v some_o few_o simple_a heart_v one_o into_o there_o snare_n and_o pronounce_v they_o bless_v just_a as_o i_o have_v see_v some_o do_v by_o little_a child_n give_v they_o counter_n to_o play_v with_o and_o say_v or_o make_v they_o believe_v it_o be_v gold_n so_o these_o pretend_a prophet_n make_v their_o disciple_n to_o believe_v that_o by_o their_o speak_n of_o a_o few_o word_n unto_o they_o they_o do_v become_v the_o bless_a of_o god_n for_o ever_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o that_o any_o shall_v seem_v to_o neglect_v or_o slight_a their_o commission_n or_o shall_v not_o approve_v of_o their_o

fright_v and_o terrify_v the_o heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o some_o other_o simple_a heart_a people_n just_a as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v by_o their_o excommunication_n the_o author_n of_o this_o short_a treatise_n hear_v of_o these_o man_n who_o assume_v unto_o themselves_o such_o power_n do_v desire_n to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o they_o and_o at_o the_o first_o meeting_n do_v ask_v

prophet_n the_o evangelist_n and_o the_o apostle_n to_o all_o which_o they_o thus_o or_o to_o the_o like_a effect_n answer_v to_o the_o first_o that_o god_n have_v a_o audible_a voice_n and_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o man_n from_o all_o eternity_n and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o be_v not_o nor_o never_o shall_v be_v any_o other_o god_n but_o the_o same_o lord_n jesus_n

when_o this_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v incarnate_a and_o in_o his_o minority_n and_o at_o his_o suffering_n and_o in_o the_o grave_n then_o there_o be_v no_o god_n in_o heaven_n nor_o in_o earth_n the_o government_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o that_o time_n be_v commit_v to_o moses_n and_o elias_n and_o whatsoever_o god_n shall_v be_v profess_v by_o any_o they_o have_v power_n both_o to_o curse_v

upon_o their_o body_n neither_o shall_v they_o ever_o commit_v any_o sin_n neither_o at_o their_o death_n shall_v they_o have_v the_o like_a fear_n and_o trouble_v in_o the_o least_o as_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v when_o he_o suffer_v to_o the_o three_o they_o answer_v that_o moses_n the_o other_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n have_v never_o the_o like_a light_n give_v they_o nor_o the_o like_a power_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o they_o have_v they_o be_v under_o the_o three_o and_o last_o dispensation_n as_o they_o term_v it_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o spirit_n therefore_o able_a to_o write_v scripture_n more_o than_o they_o all_o and_o that_o there_o have_v not_o be_v any_o man_n these_o fourteen_o hundred_o year_n past_a that_o ever_o have_v speak_v truth_n from_o or_o true_o open_v any_o text_n of_o scripture_n till_o they_o receive_v their_o commission_n to_o all_o which_o i_o thus_o reply_v i_o do_v believe_v and_o declare_v unto_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o that_o eternal_a everliving_a and_o all_o sufficient_a only_o wise_a god_n who_o have_v his_o be_v of_o himself_o and_o in_o himself_o send_v forth_o all_o thing_n as_o of_o so_o from_o

make_v the_o rock_n to_o rend_v in_o piece_n you_o how_v terrible_a be_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n to_o the_o israelite_n at_o mount_n sinai_n that_o they_o never_o desire_v to_o hear_v it_o any_o more_o wherefore_o they_o desire_v that_o moses_n may_v speak_v with_o they_o and_o not_o god_n any_o more_o and_o second_o whereas_o they_o do_v declare_v that_o they_o can_v sin_v at_o all_o nor_o

no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o deceive_v they_o or_o go_v about_o it_o but_o they_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o discern_v their_o hypocrisy_n or_o deceit_n they_o have_v in_o my_o hear_n and_o in_o the_o
