the only true God Did Elias give him the Work he was to do And had he a Glory with Elias before the World was Did Elias give him the words he was to give to his and did the Apostles believe that he came out from Elias and was sent by him was Elias in him and he in Elias and were all Believers to be one in Elias and him c. O horrid Blasphemy I think that Chapter alone is enough to rid any of this Frenzy So one while they say Elias had charge of God for a Moment Transcend p. 35. and yet elsewhere from his Birth to his Ascension Revelat. p. 130. n. 16. that he was quickned by the Compact of Elias Transcend p. 37. and yet by his own Power General Epist p. 5. As to the Devils they say 1. But one Angel fell Just contrary to Scripture which tells us of the Angels that fell Jude 6. And this cannot be applied to Cain and his Posterity because according to these Mens Principles they never fell being Devils by Extraction and Propagation and not by Transgression and Apostacy 2. That the Devil entred into the Womb of Eve and there died and out of him came Cain c. The Scripture plainly saith that Cain was the Son of Adam as well as Eve Gen. 4. 1. Adam knew his Wife and she conceived and bare Cain Reeve wisely observes that in the Genealogy of Adam unto Jesus there is no mention made of Cain This is said for want of Knowing that Jesus was descended from Seth and he might as well have said there is no mention of Abel For as Abel died without Children so all the Posterity of Cain perished in the Deluge And it was only the Posterity of Seth that survived and peopled the World again 3. That Cain and none but he is Beelzebub c. Answer The same Scripture that speaks of Beelzebub being Prince of the Devils speaks of him as casting them out and so supposes Beelzebub then in being in his own Person but that cannot then be applied to Cain who is not in Being at all as they hold in his Person 4. There is no Devil without the body of a Man and Devils are only Mens Lusts and Imaginations Answer 1. Then the Devils which the Heathens and Israelites offer'd their Sacrifices and Children to were their own cursed Imaginations Levit. 17. 7. Psal 106. 35. 2. Then the Devil that transported Christ and argued with him and that hurried him into the Wilderness set him upon a Pinacle of the Temple must be his own imagination 3. Then the Devils that enabled the young Man to break his Chains Mark 5. 2. c. and that tore and bruised the Child Luke 9. 39. and that go about to and fro in the Earth Job 1. 7. 1 Peter 5. 8. and that contended with Micbael were only the Lusts of Men that is the Lusts of Men broke Chains bruised and tore Persons walk'd to and fro in the Earth c. which is irreconcileable As to Man they say the Soul is Mortal and turns into Dust with the body Answer The Scripture on the contrary tells us that the Souls of Men are alive after their Departure hence So Matth. 22. 32. Our Saviour proves from that Saying I am the God of Abraham c. that God is not the God of the Dead but of the Living that is God is said to be their God after they were Dead and that he could not have been had they not been in Being after their Decease This again our Saviour's argument shews Mat. 10. 28. Fear not them which kill the body but are not able to kill the Soul where he not only makes the Soul and Body two distinct things but so really such that the one may be killed but the other cannot But if the Soul was mortal and turn'd into Dust they would as well kill the Soul as the Body and would kill the Soul by killing the Body So Luke 16. 22. The Beggar that died was carried into Abraham's bosom and the Rich Man was in Hell How not as to their bodies surely for they were left in this World the Rich Man was buried And this was before the Resurrection for it was while their Brethren were alive v. 28. And therefore it must be as to their Souls alone that one was with Abraham and the other in Hell II. They are Deceivers That plead Divine Inspiratition and Infallibility and yet have been guilty of Self-contradiction and have actually mistaken in Principles and matter of Fact It has been just before shew'd that they have grosly err'd in their Principles which are contrary to the Word of God Let us then now proceed to their Self-contradictions to Errors in matters of Fact by which it will appear that what they say of themselves that they are infallible and not guilty of any mistake is one of the number 1. I shall consider their Self-contradictions In one place they say If any man despise this writing of theirs he commits the unpardonable Sin against the Holy Ghost So the General Epistle c. And yet in another it is To persecute others for the sake of Christ is that Sin At one time they tell us that they two were the Forerunners of the End of the World and that this was to be suddenly after they had delivered their Message At another time it is Whosoever shall live to see an end of them two shall suddenly see the Dissolution of the World By the first suddenly they are to be understood of what was immediately to come to pass for they say John Robins the Man of Sin as they make him was to appear a little before the Personal Visible coming of Christ And that the Dissolution of the World was presaged by the many Fires then happen'd in London and by the Condition of the People Now this Message of theirs which the end of the World was suddenly to follow was declared 1651 as appears by their Remonstrance which is above 40 years since And Reeve has been dead above 30 years for it was before Muggleton reprinted the Book call'd his Looking-glass 1661. But why should we wait the end of these two for if they be the Witnesses in the Revelation they are to die by the hands of Violence and to rise again and to ascend up into Heaven in the sight of their Enemies And Muggleton may as well tell us that it was so with John Reeve as he doth that Moses was Translated of whom the Scripture saith that he died and was buried But let us proceed to their palpable mistakes and which yet they affirm to be true as well as themselves to be infallible And this in the first place I take to be one that they affirm That they had more knowledge in the Scriptures than all the Men of the World besides and yet every where betray the grossest ignorance in them 1. As first of all when they say that Moses was
