over_o dead_a clay_n so_o have_v god_n a_o prerogative_n power_n over_o all_o life_n to_o make_v what_o life_n he_o will_v a_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o own_o power_n and_o glory_n 18._o for_o if_o all_o life_n be_v make_v to_o be_v happy_a or_o all_o mankind_n save_v then_o where_o will_v god_n honour_v appear_v but_o because_o the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n be_v make_v vessel_n of_o wrath_n to_o bear_v eternal_a torment_n therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n redeem_a once_o shall_v praise_v he_o 19_o so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a people_n to_o be_v save_v but_o my_o fear_n be_v that_o i_o be_v none_o of_o the_o redeem_a 20._o and_o it_o be_v say_v within_o i_o do_v thou_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o prerogative_n power_n that_o be_v above_o all_o law_n who_o shall_v dispute_v with_o a_o prerogative_n power_n that_o be_v above_o all_o law_n and_o can_v do_v what_o it_o will_v with_o live_a creature_n even_o as_o the_o potter_n do_v what_o he_o will_v with_o the_o dead_a clay_n chap._n xi_o the_o prophet_n further_o reason_v in_o himself_o how_o hardly_o god_n deal_v with_o he_o and_o of_o his_o reason_v against_o adam_n and_o show_v how_o a_o contrary_a seed_n or_o voice_n in_o he_o repel_v his_o argument_n 1._o when_o i_o consider_v this_o i_o wish_v in_o myself_o i_o have_v never_o be_v bear_v then_o have_v i_o not_o be_v sensible_a neither_o of_o joy_n nor_o sorrow_n i_o do_v not_o so_o much_o seek_v after_o heaven_n as_o to_o be_v free_v from_o hell_n 2._o again_o i_o reason_v in_o myself_o wish_v that_o i_o have_v dye_v in_o my_o infancy_n i_o think_v if_o i_o be_v a_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n my_o torment_n will_v be_v the_o less_o than_o now_o i_o be_o grow_v to_o maturity_n of_o age._n 3._o but_o the_o answer_v say_v to_o this_o though_o thy_o torment_n be_v less_o than_o other_o yet_o it_o be_v eternal_a this_o eternity_n strike_v a_o deep_a fear_n in_o i_o which_o make_v i_o almost_o despair_v 4._o again_o i_o reason_v in_o myself_o say_v in_o my_o thought_n that_o god_n deal_v something_o hardly_o with_o i_o that_o he_o shall_v save_v adam_n which_o bring_v i_o and_o all_o mankind_n into_o this_o condemnation_n so_o that_o i_o must_v be_v damn_v for_o original_a sin_n which_o i_o receive_v from_o my_o first_o parent_n 5._o and_o that_o god_n shall_v save_v he_o that_o bring_v i_o into_o this_o condition_n and_o condemn_v i_o that_o can_v no_o way_n avoid_v it_o neither_o by_o prayer_n towards_o god_n nor_o by_o righteousness_n towards_o man._n 6._o so_o that_o right_a or_o wrong_n i_o must_v be_v damn_v by_o god_n prerogative_n will_n and_o which_o way_n to_o help_v myself_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v 7._o then_o i_o reason_v in_o my_o heart_n with_o anger_n against_o adam_n say_v within_o myself_o god_n make_v he_o upright_o and_o give_v he_o power_n to_o stand_v but_o he_o do_v not_o but_o do_v fall_v from_o that_o innocency_n and_o uprightness_n and_o so_o corrupt_v his_o seed_n and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_n do_v i_o come_v to_o be_v damn_v 8._o then_o be_v i_o answer_v in_o myself_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o voice_n without_o i_o say_v how_o will_v thou_o help_v thyself_o if_o god_n will_v save_v adam_n and_o condemn_v thou_o shall_v not_o a_o prerogative_n power_n do_v what_o he_o will_v 9_o then_o be_v bring_v to_o my_o mind_n that_o say_n jacob_n have_v i_o love_v and_o esau_n have_v i_o hate_v before_o the_o child_n have_v do_v either_o good_a or_o evil_a that_o the_o purpose_n of_o god_n according_a to_o election_n may_v stand_v so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o he_o that_o will_v nor_o he_o that_o rune_v but_o god_n that_o show_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o who_o he_o will_v he_o harden_v 10._o in_o this_o i_o see_v that_o a_o prerogative_n power_n and_o will_n of_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v contend_v with_o 11._o these_o scripture_n and_o argument_n upon_o they_o come_v so_o powerful_o upon_o my_o spirit_n that_o my_o heart_n fail_v i_o and_o my_o hope_n begin_v to_o turn_v to_o dispair_n chap._n xii_o the_o prophet_n raise_v argument_n more_o to_o give_v he_o some_o hope_n that_o he_o may_v escape_v hell_n but_o another_o mosttional_a voice_n give_v answer_n which_o quite_o frustrate_v all_o his_o hope_n again_o 1._o after_o a_o while_n i_o recover_v another_o argument_n or_o two_o which_o i_o think_v may_v give_v i_o some_o hope_n to_o escape_v hell_n which_o be_v this_o i_o say_v in_o my_o heart_n there_o can_v be_v no_o hell_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o except_o god_n do_v raise_v i_o and_o other_o again_o i_o can_v be_v damn_v hope_v there_o will_v be_v no_o resurrection_n at_o all_o then_o shall_v i_o lie_v still_o in_o the_o earth_n for_o ever_o 2._o then_o answer_n be_v make_v i_o to_o this_o do_v thou_o think_v that_o god_n will_v be_v so_o unrighteous_a as_o to_o deceive_v abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n and_o all_o righteous_a man_n that_o believe_v and_o put_v their_o trust_n in_o god_n in_o hope_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o if_o god_n do_v not_o raise_v they_o again_o then_o god_n have_v make_v they_o suffer_v great_a suffering_n and_o loss_n of_o the_o life_n of_o many_o of_o they_o in_o hope_n of_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o of_o the_o reward_n hereafter_o which_o if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a after_o this_o natural_a death_n 3._o and_o if_o god_n do_v not_o raise_v they_o again_o they_o can_v enjoy_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o eternal_a happiness_n then_o to_o what_o purpose_n do_v god_n speak_v those_o word_n and_o make_v such_o glorious_a promise_n to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o to_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n 4._o that_o he_o will_v be_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n the_o god_n of_o isaac_n and_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n for_o god_n be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n for_o all_o live_v unto_o he_o 5._o for_o say_v i_o in_o my_o heart_n if_o god_n do_v not_o raise_v abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n again_o in_o the_o resurrection_n than_o perhaps_o god_n may_v not_o raise_v i_o which_o will_v have_v glad_v my_o heart_n that_o i_o can_v have_v be_v sure_a god_n will_v never_o have_v raise_v the_o dead_a 6._o but_o the_o answer_v say_v to_o i_o that_o god_n be_v powerful_a and_o have_v power_n to_o fulfil_v his_o promise_n he_o have_v make_v unto_o man_n in_o that_o he_o can_v and_o will_v raise_v abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o the_o rest_n at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o will_v give_v they_o the_o inheritance_n he_o promise_v they_o in_o this_o life_n consider_v say_v the_o motional_a voice_n what_o a_o infinite_a prerogative_n power_n can_v do_v 7._o because_o god_n do_v not_o raise_v the_o dead_a daily_o as_o he_o do_v other_o visible_a wonder_n and_o in_o this_o visible_a creation_n thou_o do_v think_v that_o god_n can_v raise_v the_o dead_a when_o they_o be_v turn_v to_o dust_n because_o thou_o never_o do_v read_v he_o do_v 8._o but_o this_o know_v that_o god_n can_v do_v that_o which_o he_o never_o do_v when_o his_o time_n appoint_v be_v come_v for_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o god_n shall_v raise_v the_o dead_a and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o day_n or_o time_n prefix_v in_o god_n will_n which_o none_o know_v no_o not_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n but_o himself_o only_o 9_o also_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v the_o last_o great_a work_n god_n have_v to_o do_v and_o he_o have_v power_n to_o do_v this_o his_o last_o work_n to_o put_v a_o end_n to_o this_o world_n as_o he_o have_v power_n to_o create_v this_o world_n and_o make_v a_o beginning_n of_o it_o 10._o so_o that_o god_n will_v perform_v his_o promise_n in_o the_o resurrection_n to_o all_o the_o righteous_a in_o that_o he_o will_v give_v they_o everlasting_a life_n in_o another_o kingdom_n above_o the_o star_n and_o he_o will_v execute_v that_o damnation_n upon_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n wicked_a unbelieved_n persecute_v reprobate_n here_o upon_o this_o earth_n where_o they_o act_v all_o their_o wickedness_n to_o eternity_n 11._o and_o that_o none_o that_o have_v lose_v their_o life_n for_o his_o promise_n sake_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v give_v they_o life_n everlasting_a that_o day_n which_o if_o god_n do_v not_o raise_v they_o again_o then_o be_v he_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o not_o of_o the_o live_n 12._o then_o be_v abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n their_o faith_n vain_a the_o prophet_n and_o the_o apostle_n faith_n vain_a and_o their_o condision_n in_o believe_v god_n will_v raise_v they_o again_o
in_o scarlet_a and_o sit_v on_o the_o judgement_n seat_n against_o i_o shall_v be_v in_o hell_n and_o that_o lofty_a bawl_a spirit_n of_o he_o shall_v be_v his_o devil_n the_o one_o shall_v be_v as_o fire_n and_o the_o other_o as_o brimstone_n burn_v together_o to_o all_o eternity_n 26._o and_o he_o shall_v remember_v in_o the_o resurrection_n when_o he_o be_v raise_v again_o that_o he_o give_v judgement_n upon_o i_o for_o write_v this_o sentence_n to_o other_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o god_n of_o heaven_n will_v not_o deliver_v he_o from_o those_o eternal_a torment_n 27._o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o these_o man_n of_o all_o other_o shall_v be_v damn_a to_o eternity_n for_o there_o be_v more_o enemy_n against_o i_o then_o can_v be_v number_v through_o the_o occasion_n of_o these_o five_o man_n aforemention_v 28._o and_o i_o can_v free_o forgive_v the_o rude_a multitude_n for_o they_o know_v not_o what_o they_o do_v but_o there_o be_v no_o forgiveness_n of_o these_o five_o man_n nor_o jury_n nor_o judge_n nor_o officer_n that_o give_v their_o consent_n to_o that_o judgement_n that_o be_v pass_v upon_o i_o the_o 27_o of_o january_n 1676._o 29._o therefore_o i_o have_v leave_v these_o five_o man_n upon_o record_n that_o the_o age_n to_o come_v may_v see_v the_o wickedness_n of_o they_o and_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o persecute_v innocent_a man_n that_o do_v not_o break_v any_o temporal_a law_n and_o especial_o such_o man_n that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n to_o give_v sentence_n of_o eternal_a damnation_n upon_o they_o lest_o they_o come_v under_o the_o same_o condemnation_n as_o these_o man_n be_v under_o 30._o this_o i_o have_v leave_v upon_o record_n for_o the_o age_n to_o come_v after_o my_o death_n some_o of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a suffering_n which_o i_o have_v pass_v through_o in_o the_o year_n 1676._o chap._n vi_o of_o the_o prophet_n deliverance_n out_o of_o prison_n of_o the_o price_n and_o value_n that_o be_v make_v of_o he_o the_o reward_n to_o the_o two_o seed_n at_o the_o last_o day_n 1._o now_o have_v give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o suffering_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o those_o trouble_n 2._o while_o i_o be_v in_o the_o press-yard_n prisoner_n the_o sheriff_n do_v send_v several_a time_n by_o the_o goal_n keeper_n to_o see_v what_o i_o will_v do_v about_o the_o fine_a but_o they_o be_v at_o no_o certainty_n what_o they_o require_v at_o last_o the_o clerk_n of_o newgate_n say_v they_o will_v take_v the_o 5_o part_n which_o be_v one_o hundred_o pound_n 3._o i_o be_v unwilling_a to_o give_v so_o much_o i_o let_v it_o alone_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n long_o for_o some_o reason_n i_o have_v in_o myself_o after_o that_o time_n i_o send_v a_o letter_n to_o treat_v with_o they_o about_o the_o fine_a the_o sheriff_n name_n be_v one_o sr._n john_n peak_n sheriff_n of_o london_n the_o other_o be_v sr._n thomas_n stamp_n sheriff_n of_o middlesex_n 4._o but_o they_o be_v very_o high_a and_o will_v not_o abate_v one_o shilling_n of_o one_o hundred_o pound_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o be_v because_o some_o of_o the_o goal_n keeper_n have_v proffer_v one_o hundred_o pound_n for_o i_o to_o keep_v a_o prisoner_n for_o ever_o or_o else_o to_o have_v a_o large_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o my_o ransom_n 5._o i_o perceive_v have_v not_o the_o shreiff_n honour_v lie_v at_o the_o stake_n i_o have_v be_v buy_v and_o sell_v as_o joseph_n be_v in_o egypt_n for_o a_o prisoner_n during_o life_n or_o till_o such_o ransom_n be_v pay_v it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a disparragment_n to_o the_o sheriff_n if_o they_o have_v sell_v i_o such_o as_o be_v never_o do_v in_o england_n before_o 6._o but_o they_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o credit_n and_o somewhat_o to_o conscience_n they_o will_v not_o do_v such_o wickedness_n but_o however_o it_o cause_v they_o to_o abate_v nothing_o of_o one_o hundred_o pound_n neither_o will_v they_o give_v any_o time_n but_o pay_v down_o present_o 7._o so_o we_o borrow_v a_o hundred_o pound_v the_o next_o day_n and_o give_v to_o they_o upon_o the_o 19_o day_n of_o july_n 1677_o and_o the_o same_o day_n at_o night_n i_o be_v release_v out_o of_o prison_n and_o many_o of_o the_o believer_n do_v keep_v that_o day_n as_o a_o feast_n day_n every_o year_n in_o remembrance_n of_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o prison_n 8._o for_o i_o be_v prize_v at_o a_o goodly_a price_n far_o high_a than_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o be_v value_v at_o but_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v thirty_o pound_n but_o they_o value_v i_o at_o a_o hundred_o piece_n of_o silver_n for_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n they_o value_v christ_n at_o must_v be_v so_o much_o else_o it_o will_v not_o have_v buy_v the_o potter_n field_n 9_o now_o the_o cause_n why_o they_o value_v i_o at_o such_o a_o high_a price_n above_o my_o lord_n and_o master_n it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v i_o have_v some_o interest_n in_o this_o world_n and_o many_o follower_n of_o i_o therefore_o they_o value_v i_o at_o such_o a_o high_a price_n as_o 100_o piece_n of_o silver_n 10._o and_o as_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n therefore_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n to_o be_v expend_v upon_o any_o holy_a use_n or_o to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a and_o the_o like_a but_o to_o buy_v a_o potter_n field_n to_o bury_v the_o stink_v carcase_n of_o stranger_n thief_n and_z murderers_z insomuch_o that_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v bestow_v on_o the_o base_a way_n suitable_a to_o the_o purchase_n be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n 11._o so_o likewise_o the_o hundred_o piece_n of_o silver_n they_o value_v i_o at_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n also_o though_o not_o unto_o death_n as_o our_o lord_n be_v a_o very_a goodly_a price_n 12._o and_o this_o money_n will_v not_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n to_o repair_v church_n or_o relieve_v the_o poor_a but_o will_v be_v spend_v base_o in_o lust_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o in_o volumptiousness_n suitable_a to_o the_o purchase_n of_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n 13._o thus_o i_o have_v leave_v upon_o record_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v both_o of_o my_o suffering_n and_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o all_o those_o trouble_n that_o have_v happen_v upon_o i_o in_o the_o year_n 1675_o and_o in_o the_o year_n 1676_o and_o 1677_o and_o in_o the_o year_n of_o my_o life_n 67._o 14._o this_o be_v the_o 5_o part_n of_o the_o act_n of_o john_n reeve_n and_o lodowich_n muggleton_n the_o two_o last_o

15._o and_o wonderful_a revelation_n and_o passage_n and_o act_n that_o be_v write_v in_o these_o five_o part_n that_o i_o may_v leave_v it_o as_o a_o legacy_n for_o the_o age_n to_o come_v upon_o record_n that_o the_o unbelieving_a world_n may_v be_v convince_v when_o i_o be_o turn_v to_o dust_n as_o my_o father_n adam_n be_v that_o i_o be_v slander_v reproach_v belie_v persecute_v imprison_v and_o pillory_v without_o a_o cause_n 16._o but_o i_o shall_v be_v raise_v again_o by_o the_o power_n of_o that_o god_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o i_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v dead_a even_o the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n and_o be_v alive_a for_o evermore_o 17._o and_o it_o will_v not_o seem_v a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n time_n to_o i_o from_o my_o death_n to_o my_o rise_n again_o for_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a time_n belong_v to_o the_o live_n 18._o and_o this_o i_o know_v that_o as_o the_o 12_o apostle_n in_o the_o resurrection_n shall_v sit_v upon_o throne_n and_o judge_v the_o 12_o tribe_n of_o israel_n those_o that_o believe_v they_o when_o they_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n they_o be_v judge_v with_o a_o eternal_a blessing_n of_o life_n
