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 ...

spirit_n and_o do_v they_o not_o conclude_v this_o incomprehensible_a spirit_n to_o be_v a_o eternal_a godhead_n be_v in_o itself_o and_o so_o of_o necessity_n must_v he_o not_o be_v a_o distinct_a glorious_a be_v from_o all_o thing_n and_o place_n 20_o if_o there_o be_v a_o creator_n and_o if_o this_o glorious_a creator_n be_v a_o infinite_a distinct_a something_o too_o transcendent_o divine_a

have_v a_o distinct_a body_n suitable_a unto_o his_o eternal_a spirit_n to_o enjoy_v his_o divine_a pleasure_n to_o himself_o and_o at_o his_o pleasure_n to_o distribute_v by_o measure_n into_o the_o elect_a spirit_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n the_o in-shining_a glimpse_n of_o this_o incomprehensible_a glory_n 26_o though_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n be_v that_o invisible_a god_n that_o by_o the_o

the_o spirit_n of_o man_n or_o angel_n can_v speak_v distinct_a word_n without_o a_o body_n face_n or_o tongue_n of_o their_o own_o 27_o though_o all_o power_n wisdom_n and_o glory_n proceed_v only_o from_o a_o invisible_a eternal_a spirit_n yet_o you_o may_v know_v that_o it_o can_v be_v a_o perfect_a glory_n except_o it_o be_v clothe_v with_o a_o majestical_a person_n as_o a_o visible_a

between_o true_a and_o false_a commissioner_n in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v treat_v again_o concern_v the_o witness_n according_a to_o former_a intention_n you_o may_v remember_v where_o i_o cease_v i_o challenge_v the_o whole_a world_n whether_o since_o the_o primitive_a time_n any_o man_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o bear_v record_n unto_o the_o man_n christ_n jesus_n in_o glory_n to_o be_v the_o only_a wise_a god_n creator_n redeemer_n and_o everlasting_a father_n appear_v as_o the_o two_o revelation-witness_n 2_o again_o until_o the_o roman_a bishop_n persecute_v tyranny_n be_v expire_v in_o this_o land_n you_o may_v know_v the_o two_o revelation-witness_n or_o prophet_n never_o appear_v 3_o for_o according_a unto_o scripture_n order_n you_o that_o be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a comprehension_n may_v know_v that_o we_o be_v those_o two_o commissionated_a witness_n or_o prophet_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n because_o as_o beforesaid_a 4_o according_a to_o the_o pprophecy_n by_o saint_n john_n we_o exact_o appear_v when_o the_o roman_a bishop_n time_n be_v expire_v of_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o holy_a city_n or_o people_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o this_o land_n 5_o some_o man_n may_v object_v and_o say_v why_o be_v the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o two_o in_o number_n and_o the_o former_a witness_n of_o so_o great_a a_o number_n unto_o this_o objection_n from_o the_o lord_n i_o answer_v by_o way_n of_o quere_z do_v not_o the_o glorious_a wisdom_n of_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n most_o of_o all_o appear_v in_o the_o small_a number_n of_o thing_n for_o the_o act_n of_o a_o wonderful_a work_n 6_o be_v it_o not_o most_o advantageous_a unto_o the_o creator_n glory_n to_o prevent_v man_n or_o angel_n from_o know_v his_o witness_n or_o their_o number_n either_o by_o miracle_n or_o without_o miracle_n until_o his_o pleasure_n be_v to_o reveal_v they_o 7_o you_o know_v that_o god_n worship_n former_o be_v not_o only_o invisible_a but_o visible_a also_o and_o to_o continue_v for_o a_o long_a season_n therefore_o there_o require_v a_o great_a number_n of_o spiritual_a speaker_n unto_o the_o elect_a 8_o but_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n be_v now_o only_o spiritual_a or_o invisible_a thou_o may_v know_v that_o a_o witness_n or_o two_o be_v sufficient_a the_o day_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v near_o at_o hand_n to_o proclaim_v his_o glorious_a come_n by_o speak_v or_o write_v unto_o the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n 8_o again_o be_v not_o a_o witness_n or_o two_o sufficient_a to_o discover_v the_o vanity_n of_o all_o vain_a glorious_a fleshly_a formality_n among_o the_o son_n of_o man_n see_v the_o lord_n be_v at_o hand_n to_o make_v a_o eternal_a separation_n between_o the_o bless_a israelite_n and_o the_o curse_a canaanites_n 9_o do_v not_o these_o three_o witness_n in_o earth_n only_o agree_v in_o one_o divine_a body_n of_o all_o truth_n in_o this_o respect_n because_o they_o receive_v their_o commission_n by_o voice_n of_o word_n to_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o visible_a as_o well_o as_o invisible_a ear_n through_o the_o glorious_a mouth_n of_o a_o personal_a majesty_n 10_o wherefore_o can_v any_o man_n upon_o this_o earth_n that_o count_v himself_o or_o be_v account_v by_o other_o to_o be_v a_o true_a prophet_n apostle_n minister_n preacher_n teacher_n bishop_n shepherd_z priest_n ambassador_n or_o witness_v from_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
