A62893	The Muggletonians principles prevailing being an answer in full to a scandalous and malicious pamphlet, intituled A true representation of the absurd and mischevious principles of the sect called Muggletonians : herein the aforesaid principles are vindicated, and proved to be infallibly true : and the author of that libel, his scandalous title and subject proved as false to truth, as light is to darkness, and that he knows no more what the true God is, nor what the right devil is, nor any true principle or foundation of faith, for all his great learning he so much bosts of, then those Jews that put the Lord of life to death, for learned and taught reason is but natural, and so falls short of the glory of God, as will appear in the following discourse / by T.T.	Tomkinson, Thomas, 1631-1710?	1695 (1695)	Wing T1840; ESTC R18719	47,859	79

many as believed in him shall Reign with him at that time And all faithful Men shall rise again and the Residue to Shame because they believed not in God that came in the Flesh to deliver Thus it is made Clear That God the Father became Flesh but one Evidence more from John befor I conclude this Point He in Admiration of his Lords Love cryed out saying 1 John 3.1 O What Love the Father hath bestowed upon us but the World knoweth him not but we know him Now who was this Father of Love was it any other but the Apostles Jesus his following Words doth shew it as clear as the Light saying thus We who are his Apostles do know him and we further know that when He doth appear we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is That is Psal 3.21 when he comes to change our vile Bodies and make them like his own glorious Body then shall we see him as he is in himself one personal God Cloathed with Flesh and Bone as a Garment of eternal Glory This is the Faith saith John That maketh Pure and he whose Faith abides in Jesus Christ that came by Water and Blood hath the everlasting Father and he that holdeth this Faith sineth not That is he sineth not to Act he may have the motion to Sin but it preserveth from the Act for that golden Grace of Faith crusheth that Cokatrice Egg of the Motion of Sin before it become a stinging Serpent and so Conquers and Overcomes This is the Doctrin of the Gospel and he that Imbraceth it hath the Father and the Son 2 John 10.9 where and to whom the Blessing and the Salvation of God-speed is given This is the true God and the Amen 1 John 5.20 Revel 3.14 and all other Gods are Idols This is the Muggletonian's Principle which the Ante-Scripturian calls a mischievious Principle Thus you curse the true God and defy the Holy one of Israel chusing to your self a God of your own lying Imagination In Page 19. you further Object against that Principle how that the God-head dyed This say you is quite contrary to Scripture which saith God is Immortal and that he hath Immortality 1. Tim. 1.17 6.16 Also you say That Muggleton teacheth That the Soul of Man is Mortal and turns to Dust To this say you the Scripture tells us That the Souls of Men are alive after their Death Matt. 22 32. And that God is said to be their God after they are Dead Matt. 10.28 And that we are not to fear them that can kill the Body and not the Soul And that Lazarus when he dyed went to Heaven and Dives to Hell Luke 16.22 CHAP. IX ANSWER The Scriptures Acts 20.28 say that God purchased the Church with his Blood Now the Blood of Christ was no other but the Blood of God and when he power'd forth that Blood then did he power forth his Life for Life lay in that Blood Therefore it is said That he powered forth his Soul unto Death Isaiah 53.12 Heb 9.14 and that he offered up himself through the eternal Spirit What is that but that the eternal Spirit entered into Death or passed through Death in a Moment into eternal Life Death being too weak to keep him under Coll 2.9 1 Cor. 15.54 so that whatever Life was in Jesus did enter into Death Therefore he that was the Alpha and Omega Revel 1.18 the First and the Last was Dead but is now Alive and behold he now lives for ever more and is that immortal only wise God blessed for ever So that we do affirm 1 Tim. 6.16 2 John 7. Revel 1.18 That God is immortal and we also know that Eternity did become Time for Flesh was in Time and Time did become Eternity again Now in that you Teach That God cannot dye it is evident that you do not belive that Christ was any God at all so that you Trenitarians Arians and Socinians you are all a like and that you are no more Christians then they For it will necessarily follow That if it were nothing but humane Nature or Life in Christ that died then the Death of any other Man had been equevolent to Christ's Sufferings and as Meritorious as his and so your Spirit God without a Body might have saved you by sheding of any other Man's Blood But the true Christian doth know that no Blood can make Attonement for Sin but the most precious and unvaluable Blood of a God to believe this John 6.54 is to drink his Blood And to believe that that blessed Body of his was no less then the very body of God this is to eate his flesh so that whosoever eats his flesh and drinks his blood so hath by so doing gained the full assurance of Eternal Life this is a standing Truth and shall prevail But how is it possible you should believe this when as you cannnot believe that any Life dies at all for say you The Soul of Man is alive after Death here your Ignorance appears very great for all your Learning Where did you ever find by Scripture That the Soul of any man was ever alive without its body The Scripture no where affirms it if rightly understood they are but old Wives Fables or Monks and Fryers Forgeries and heathenish Principles from their own blind Imaginations As for those Sayings concerning Dives and Lazarus 't is but a Parable Luke 16. and so must have a Spiritual meaning for Souls without Bodies have no Tongues nor Eyes nor Bosoms as that Parable speaks of but that Parable was only to set forth the two Seeds here in Mortality which is largely opened by this Commission of the Spirit And as to Christ speaking of God being the God of the living and not of the dead it was spoken to the Saduces who denyed the Resurrection therefore Christ shews that there was a necessity of a Resurrection Act 2.31 and 13.36 seeing that Abraham Isaac and Jacob and the rest of the Prophets were dead and their Sepulchres are with us at this day and if God do not raise them again to that Glory their Faith was pitch'd upon then was he the God of the dead and not of the living in that all dyed to him instead of living to him And as to that saying Fear not them which can kill the body c. That is fear not him that may kill both Soul and Body by a natural death but rather fear him that hath an absolute power in himself to slay both Soul and Body with an Eternal or second Death Moreover when the Scripture saith the body dies doth not that include the soul or natural Life What have you your natural Learning for but to understand the natural sence of words Do you not find that that which our Translation calls body the Greek calleth souls as Numb 6.6 there it is said That he shall come at no dead body in our

Bible but after the Greek your own Doctors read thus He shall come at no dead Soul Is it not said Gen. 2.17 That man was made a living soul And was not the threatning charge given out That that soul that sinned Ezek. 18. vers 20. that soul should dye and yet say you the soul cannot dye Now that which the National Ministry do make a ground of the Immortality of the soul is to all spiritual wise men an evident proof of its Mortality as where it is said so such a one dyed and was gathered to his people now whether is it that they were gathered but into the grave As for instance see 2 Kings 22.20 If the Soul can enjoy Heaven without its body Col. 3.4 1 Thes 4.14 what matter of a Resurrection but it is certain that the Scriptures affirms the contrary and that there can be no Salvation without a Resurrection When God shall raise the dead Mat. 13.41 c. 24.31 c. 25.31 John 5. ●8 c. 11.43 he hath his Angels attending to gather the Saints together as God raiseth them neither God nor his Angels doth not bring their Souls from Heaven to ●●ume their dead bodies but our God raiseth Soul and Body together out of the Grave by a word speaking as he did the Body and Soul of Lazarus Again on the other hand 1 Revel 20.13 Isa 66.24 must all the damned Souls come from Hell to fetch up their cursed bodies What Hell do they come from but out of the Grave Soul and Body out of the Grave and when the Soul and Body rises Jer. 17.13 Mich. 7.71 Ex●d 10.21 Revel 10.10 then the Devil rises to his eternal Punishment and this Earth will be the place of the Devils Torment where he acted all his Lies and Cruelty there shall he suffer eternally after the Elect Men and Angels are assended with their God into Eternal Glory the Plagues of Egypt were a Tipe of this These things will be so in their time And so much in answer to this Principle In pag. 20th you oppose John Reeve for saying How that but one Angel fell from his Created Purity and Glory This Doctrine say you The Accusation is quite contrary to Scripture which tells us in Jude That the Angels fell and this say you cannot be apply'd to Kain and his Posterity For they say you by our own words never fell And as for Kain say you He never was from that fallen Angel but was of Adam's begetting as well as Seath. And again you affirm also That all Kain's Offspring nerished in the Floud CHAP. X. ANSWER IF that Offspring of that Serpent-Angel that was cast from Heaven could know it self Isa 29.10 John 12.40 Rev. 11.7 then you might know that these Angels spoken of in Jude were the Offspring of Cursed Kain the Serpent Angel transmuted into Flesh and reserved in Chains of Unbelief and the Darkness of Ignorance For Jude spoke of no other Devils but what were clothed in Flesh and it was they that were the Devils ordained to condemnation And therefore mind for he brings in Sodom and Gomorrah and the Rebellious Jews against Moses and those upstart Hypocrites who denied the Lord to be the only and alone true God and yet pretended his Name All these saith he were ordained to condemnation in that Serpent-Angel aforesaid being reprobated in the Seed and Kain was that Seed And therefore Jude pronounces the Woe unto them as the Off-spring and Seed of Kain v. 11. to whom Eternal Torment doth belong Again Rev. 12.7 where it is said that there was a war in heaven Michael and his Angels fighting against the Dragon and his Angels That Michael was the Spirit of the Lord Jesus in all his Angelical Believers and the Dragon was the Spirit of Cursed Kain in all his Seed This War was on Earth tho' said to be in Heaven because the Original of both Seeds came from Heaven for there never was any actual Rebellion in Heaven but that Angel-Serpent aforesaid being cast out all his Seed fell in him and was cast out with him and so actual Rebellion took place And therefore said John Wo to the Inhabitants of the Earth for the Devil not Devils is come down amongst you Verse 12.17 And it was this Devil that brought the Wo both to Saint and Serpent in this Warfare doth these Two Woes take place to them Two Seeds one in this Fight having his Heel bruised Gen. 3.15 Rev. 13.7.10 which is in Persecution loss of Goods and Death natural the other having his Head bruised by the Saints Weapons of War which reacheth to a second Death And this Devil that was cast down 1 John 3.12 was the Father of Cain from whence all Wickedness and Cruelty hath flown for Cain was the very First-born of that Devil and the fulness of that Serpent-Angel's God-Head lived Boddily in Cain and such of his Seed that have in them a great Share of that piercing Reason or God-head-power became potent Angels Lords and Governours of this World it being given to that Seed and they labour in this their Kingdom to imitate the grandure of that Glory their Father the fallen Angel had before his Fall and to come as near to it as possibly they can And here it is Ezek. 29.3 That the Prophet Ezekiel compares Pharaoh King of Egipt to the great red Dragon And the Assirian Monarch was said by the Prophet to be in Dignity Power Glory and Buty like unto his Father the Angel before his Transmutation into Flesh Chap. 33.3 when he walked once in the Garden of Eden being greater than several others of his Father's Children The great Kings of Babilon were said to be from Lucipher and therefore were called after his Name Lucipher the Sun of the Morning And they are said by the Prophet Isaiah Isa 14.12 To be cast down from Heaven which could not be if they had not proceeded from the fallen Angel And as they were cast down from Heaven in that Angel even so they were for exalting their Thrones above the Stars and to be like unto God which doth shew That they were evil Kings and evil Beasts For good Kings and such as proceed not from Cain they are not for exalting themselves so high as to that Heavenly Throne of judging of Mens Faith and Conscience neither will they tiranise over their Subjects but do Justice according to the Law But to the Matter aforesaid The great King of Tyrus Ezek. 28.3 seems to out-top all the foregoing Kings with Angelical Perfection for he is said to be the very anointed Cherub himself he having as great a Share of that lost Glory as his fallen Nature could afford him for that Angel that he proceeded from was a Church which was the highest Order of Angels and this King was of the highest Degree of Wisdom Buty and Glory And therefore his Perfections was such Verse 13.14 as that he
