A51579	A true interpretation of all the chief texts, and mysterious sayings and visions opened, of the whole book of the Revelation of St. John whereby is unfolded, and plainly declared those wonderful deep mysteries and visions interpreted, concerning the true God, the alpha and omega, with variety of other heavenly secrets, which hath never been opened, nor reveaked to any man since the creation of the world to this day, until now / by Lodowick Muggleton ...

there_o be_v here_o on_o earth_n and_o there_o be_v a_o king_n of_o heaven_n to_o sit_v upon_o that_o throne_n of_o glory_n as_o there_o be_v many_o king_n here_o in_o earth_n which_o do_v sit_v upon_o throne_n of_o glory_n here_o because_o this_o world_n be_v in_o many_o king_n hand_n therefore_o divide_v into_o many_o kingdom_n and_o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o earthly_a king_n fight_n and_o kill_v one_o the_o other_o but_o the_o kingdom_n above_o the_o star_n be_v but_o one_o kingdom_n and_o have_v but_o one_o king_n over_o it_o and_o this_o king_n be_v no_o other_o but_o god_n himself_o which_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n of_o glory_n but_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o speak_v something_o more_o of_o throne_n hereafter_o therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o here_o only_o this_o will_v give_v you_o a_o little_a light_n into_o it_o chap._n vi_o and_o because_o man_n may_v be_v thorough_o convince_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a god_n i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o consider_v these_o place_n of_o scripture_n and_o the_o interpretation_n and_o see_v if_o they_o will_v bear_v any_o other_o sense_n and_o be_v well_o ground_v upon_o that_o they_o will_v understand_v the_o whole_a matter_n the_o better_a therefore_o i_o shall_v pass_v by_o some_o verse_n in_o this_o chapter_n i_o not_o conceive_v they_o to_o be_v of_o so_o great_a concernment_n as_o this_o be_v the_o 8_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n john_n mean_v christ_n where_o he_o say_v i_o be_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n say_v the_o lord_n which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o almighty_a here_o you_o that_o have_v faith_n to_o believe_v may_v understand_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n the_o lord_n almighty_n and_o as_o john_n be_v in_o the_o isle_n of_o patmos_n as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o 9th_o verse_n for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n here_o john_n seem_v as_o if_o he_o do_v suffer_v persecution_n for_o two_o that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o god_n and_o for_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o in_o the_o 10._o and_o 11._o verse_n he_o conclude_v they_o both_o in_o one_o say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o hear_v behind_o i_o as_o he_o say_v a_o great_a voice_n as_o of_o a_o trumpet_n i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o observe_v that_o the_o seventh-day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o jew_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n because_o it_o be_v give_v by_o the_o lord_n almighty_a to_o moses_n and_o by_o he_o give_v to_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n and_o so_o call_v the_o lord_n day_n so_o likewise_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n day_n also_o now_o here_o be_v two_o lords-day_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o lord_n of_o they_o both_o how_o shall_v this_o matter_n be_v reconcile_v thus_o the_o lordsday_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o creation_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o lordsday_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o redemption_n be_v another_o because_o the_o lord_n almighty_n be_v in_o two_o several_a state_n as_o thus_o when_o he_o create_v the_o world_n and_o make_v man_n in_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n he_o himself_o be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n a_o body_n in_o form_n like_o a_o man_n but_o no_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n this_o god_n be_v when_o he_o create_v man_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o but_o when_o god_n become_v flesh_n he_o be_v in_o another_o condition_n he_o now_o have_v flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n that_o he_o may_v work_v a_o redemption_n to_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n to_o a_o more_o excellent_a condition_n then_o that_o be_v wherein_o he_o be_v create_v and_o a_o more_o miserable_a condition_n to_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n than_o he_o be_v create_v in_o and_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v that_o the_o same_o god_n which_o create_v man_n i_o say_v the_o same_o god_n redeem_v man_n which_o thing_n be_v two_o proper_a and_o distinct_a work_n for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n to_o do_v therefore_o distinguish_v by_o two_o several_a denomination_n of_o father_n and_o son_n neither_o be_v it_o proper_a for_o god_n after_o he_o become_v flesh_n to_o create_v any_o thing_n neither_o can_v god_n have_v redeem_v mankind_n to_o a_o eternal_a happiness_n but_o by_o his_o become_a flesh_n neither_o can_v any_o serpent_n or_o devil_n have_v put_v god_n to_o death_n if_o god_n have_v not_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n clothes_n itself_o with_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n and_o so_o be_v make_v capable_a to_o be_v put_v to_o death_n by_o the_o seed_n and_o nature_n of_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o serpent_n or_o devil_n but_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o of_o god_n death_n hereafter_o only_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o mind_n that_o twofold_a condition_n of_o god_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o then_o you_o will_v not_o stumble_v at_o john_n say_v that_o he_o do_v suffer_v for_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v two_o distinct_a thing_n and_o so_o he_o do_v in_o some_o other_o place_n in_o this_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n as_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n verse_n 5_o he_o say_v and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v the_o faithful_a witness_n etc._n etc._n which_o do_v intimate_v to_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n as_o if_o there_o be_v two_o go_n but_o i_o declare_v it_o be_v speak_v with_o relation_n to_o god_n twofold_a condition_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o proper_a power_n and_o work_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o father_n it_o be_v to_o create_v and_o the_o proper_a power_n and_o work_v of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n it_o be_v to_o die_v and_o to_o redeem_v and_o yet_o all_o but_o one_o god_n but_o in_o two_o condition_n or_o in_o two_o state_n therefore_o set_v forth_o by_o the_o revelation_n in_o the_o scripture_n under_o nomination_n of_o father_n and_o son_n therefore_o i_o will_v willing_o have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v the_o twofold_a condition_n of_o god_n and_o then_o the_o scripture_n which_o do_v seem_v to_o contradict_v one_o the_o other_o will_v be_v reconcile_v in_o one_o and_o so_o there_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o peace_n arise_v from_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o where_o be_v so_o much_o dissatisfaction_n in_o read_v the_o scripture_n by_o the_o professor_n now_o adays_o it_o be_v because_o they_o understand_v they_o not_o this_o i_o know_v by_o experience_n but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o as_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a state_n in_o one_o god_n so_o likewise_o there_o be_v two_o lords-day_n as_o aforesaid_a yet_o but_o one_o god_n but_o the_o meaning_n of_o john_n when_o he_o say_v he_o be_v in_o the_o spirit_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n i_o declare_v his_o meaning_n be_v the_o day_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n and_o this_o he_o call_v the_o lordsday_n that_o be_v it_o be_v the_o day_n of_o god_n rise_v from_o death_n to_o life_n in_o that_o death_n be_v not_o able_a to_o keep_v he_o under_o for_o death_n do_v keep_v every_o creature_n under_o it_o neither_o can_v any_o creature_n nor_o son_n of_o god_n overcome_v death_n but_o god_n himself_o therefore_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n the_o father_n of_o all_o life_n in_o that_o he_o give_v life_n to_o all_o creature_n in_o his_o creation_n and_o nothing_o can_v procure_v by_o his_o death_n a_o resurrection_n of_o a_o new_a life_n and_o a_o eternal_a redemption_n but_o the_o blood_n and_o death_n of_o god_n himself_o therefore_o let_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n lie_v as_o much_o trust_n upon_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n believe_v it_o to_o be_v the_o blood_n of_o god_n as_o they_o can_v the_o more_o weight_n they_o lie_v upon_o it_o the_o more_o peace_n and_o satisfaction_n they_o shall_v find_v so_o on_o the_o contrary_a those_o that_o deny_v and_o call_v it_o blasphemy_n for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v that_o god_n do_v die_v i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o salvation_n for_o such_o a_o man_n neither_o will_v he_o find_v any_o benefit_n by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n because_o he_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v but_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n or_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o man_n notwithstanding_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o full_a to_o prove_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n and_o christ_n he_o die_v therefore_o god_n do_v die_v and_o this_o

the_o first_o thing_n that_o john_n see_v in_o his_o vision_n it_o be_v a_o door_n open_v in_o heaven_n now_o i_o will_v have_v the_o seed_n of_o faith_n to_o understand_v that_o there_o be_v a_o

give_v thou_o the_o key_n of_o heaven_n and_o of_o hell_n so_o likewise_o when_o the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n come_v to_o the_o door_n where_o the_o bridegroom_n be_v but_o the_o door_n be_v shut_v

open_v this_o door_n it_o be_v much_o like_a unto_o a_o king_n palace_n where_o no_o inferior_a person_n can_v see_v into_o it_o except_o the_o doorkeeper_n do_v open_a the_o door_n there_o be_v no_o

the_o king_n of_o heaven_n do_v sit_v upon_o his_o throne_n also_o there_o be_v a_o door_n belong_v to_o it_o of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a substance_n which_o may_v be_v see_v feel_v and_o

in_o the_o chapter_n follow_v for_o the_o voice_n which_o talk_v with_o john_n in_o the_o vision_n bid_v he_o come_v up_o hither_o and_o i_o will_v show_v the_o thing_n which_o must_v be_v hereafter_o

can_v explain_v it_o not_o as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o but_o man_n that_o have_v write_v the_o scripture_n and_o have_v have_v vision_n and_o revelation_n of_o these_o heavenly_a thing_n they_o have_v express_v they_o to_o the_o capacity_n of_o man_n as_o they_o can_v by_o word_n so_o that_o man_n may_v believe_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n which_o be_v spiritual_a and_o eternal_a by_o word_n of_o mortal_a man_n like_o themselves_o as_o man_n do_v understand_v one_o another_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o gift_n of_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v

which_o be_v and_o be_v and_o be_v to_o come_v the_o 9_o verse_n and_o when_o those_o beast_n give_v glory_n and_o honour_n and_o thanks_o to_o he_o that_o sit_v on_o the_o throne_n who_o live_v for_o

thereon_o you_o may_v remember_v how_o i_o have_v show_v before_o that_o there_o be_v throne_n in_o heaven_n as_o there_o be_v here_o in_o earth_n and_o there_o be_v a_o throne_n in_o special_a for_o the_o king_n of_o heaven_n as_o there_o be_v for_o a_o king_n here_o on_o earth_n and_o he_o which_o john_n see_v to_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n as_o aforesaid_a though_o john_n do_v set_v he_o forth_o in_o the_o 3_o verse_n that_o he_o be_v to_o look_v upon_o like_o a_o jasper_n and_o a_o sardine_n stone_n with_o other_o glorious_a expression_n which_o be_v only_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o glory_n of_o he_o that_o sit_v upon_o the_o throne_n and_o in_o the_o 4_o verse_n round_o about_o the_o throne_n be_v

say_v and_o so_o call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n when_o as_o indeed_o he_o be_v david_n lord_n he_o be_v david_n lord_n as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n but_o as_o he_o

●●age_n of_o david_n as_o he_o be_v a_o redeemer_n he_o may_v be_v and_o be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o david_n and_o whatsoever_o david_n do_v in_o point_n of_o war_n it_o be_v justify_v by_o jesus_n christ_n as_o he_o be_v his_o lord_n for_o it_o be_v say_v in_o scripture_n that_o david_n walk_v with_o a_o perfect_a heart_n before_o the_o lord_n in_o all_o thing_n only_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o

the_o revelation_n of_o john_n the_o first_o beast_n that_o be_v like_o a_o lion_n for_o he_o act_v as_o in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o lion_n himself_o of_o the_o tribe_n of_o judah_n as_o jacob_n do_v prophesy_v when_o he_o bless_v his_o son_n now_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o understand_v that_o all_o these_o four_o beast_n speak_v of_o here_o they_o be_v man_n though_o they_o be_v call_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n beast_n also_o he_o do_v distinguish_v they_o into_o four_o several_a form_n the_o first_o like_o a_o lion_n the_o second_o like_o a_o calf_n the_o three_o beast_n have_v a_o face_n like_o a_o man_n and_o the_o four_o beast_n be_v like_o a_o fly_a eagle_n these_o four_o beast_n as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v all_o man_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o good_a man_n only_o this_o i_o will_v have_v the_o reader_n to_o mind_n that_o they_o be_v call_v beast_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o work_n that_o they_o be_v to_o do_v and_o so_o they_o act_v after_o that_o manner_n as_o such_o beast_n use_v to_o do_v as_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o lion_n be_v to_o destroy_v and_o tear_v in_o piece_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o calf_n be_v to_o act_v simple_o and_o foolish_o and_o yet_o innocent_a also_o now_o the_o three_o beast_n have_v a_o face_n like_o a_o man_n that_o be_v he_o act_v as_o a_o rational_a man_n by_o wisdom_n and_o policy_n and_o the_o four_o beast_n be_v like_o a_o fly_a eagle_n that_o be_v he_o act_v in_o swiftness_n and_o strength_n and_o according_a to_o other_o property_n that_o be_v in_o a_o eagle_n and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o these_o four_o beast_n do_v man_n act_v and_o do_v act_n in_o this_o world_n therefore_o call_v four_o beast_n when_o as_o they_o be_v no_o other_o but_o man_n but_o i_o shall_v leave_v the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n of_o the_o other_o three_o to_o those_o that_o be_v better_o read_v in_o history_n than_o i_o be_o neither_o be_v

by_o what_o be_v afore-written_a therefore_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o but_o go_v unto_o the_o 8_o verse_n chap._n x._o in_o the_o eight_o verse_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o four_o beast_n have_v each_o of_o they_o six_o wing_n about_o they_o and_o they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n within_o and_o they_o rest_v not_o day_n and_o night_n say_v holy_a holy_a holy_a lord_n god_n almighty_a which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v and_o which_o be_v to_o come_v the_o chief_a thing_n in_o this_o verse_n to_o be_v know_v be_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o those_o six_o wing_n which_o the_o four_o beast_n have_v which_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n within_o the_o meaning_n be_v this_o that_o each_o of_o these_o four_o beast_n have_v six_o wing_n that_o be_v they_o have_v six_o wing_n apiece_o and_o these_o six_o wing_n apiece_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n which_o give_v they_o wisdom_n to_o order_n and_o manage_v the_o affair_n of_o their_o battle_n and_o these_o six_o wing_n be_v employ_v thus_o two_o of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v employ_v before_o in_o the_o forefront_n of_o the_o battle_n and_o two_o of_o they_o be_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o rear_n or_o hinder_v part_n of_o the_o army_n lest_o the_o enemy_n shall_v come_v upon_o the_o back_n of_o they_o and_o the_o other_o two_o wing_n be_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o middle_n that_o in_o case_n their_o enemy_n shall_v put_v they_o to_o the_o worst_a both_o before_o and_o behind_o that_o they_o may_v fly_v away_o with_o those_o two_o wing_n in_o the_o midst_n and_o this_o be_v very_o good_a revelation_n and_o wisdom_n and_o call_v by_o the_o revelation_n of_o john_n six_o wing_n for_o the_o scripture_n do_v call_v revelation_n and_o good_a counsel_n wing_n as_o that_o say_v revel_v 12._o verse_n 14._o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v give_v unto_o the_o woman_n two_o wing_n of_o a_o great_a eagle_n that_o she_o may_v flee_v into_o the_o wilderness_n which_o wing_n be_v no_o other_o but_o revelation_n as_o i_o have_v open_v in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o eleven_o of_o the_o revelation_n and_o where_o we_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n have_v command_v his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n to_o fly_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o in_o case_n of_o persecution_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n will_v give_v they_o wing_n to_o fly_v but_o he_o will_v give_v they_o wisdom_n and_o revelation_n to_o get_v from_o it_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v wing_n to_o fly_v away_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o four_o beast_n aforesaid_a may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v each_o of_o they_o six_o wing_n and_o as_o for_o their_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n within_o that_o be_v they_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o discern_v both_o of_o spiritual_a and_o of_o temporal_a thing_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o four_o beast_n full_a of_o eye_n before_o and_o behind_o that_o be_v they_o have_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n before_o and_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n behind_o that_o be_v they_o do_v discern_v by_o the_o eye_n of_o faith_n before_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o how_o he_o become_v flesh_n and_o shed_v his_o

though_o it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n yet_o they_o have_v but_o two_o eye_n apiece_o that_o be_v the_o eye_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o eye_n do_v offend_v they_o as_o it_o do_v many_o thousand_o now_o adays_o and_o because_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n may_v not_o stumble_v at_o this_o interpretation_n because_o i_o say_v there_o be_v but_o two_o eye_n when_o as_o john_n say_v they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n you_o may_v remember_v that_o i_o have_v write_v before_o concern_v the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o but_o

again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o these_o four_o beast_n rest_v not_o day_n and_o night_n say_v holy_a holy_a holy_a lord_n god_n almighty_a which_o be_v and_o be_v and_o be_v to_o come_v that_o be_v
