A63786 Truth's triumph over errour: or, The routing of the seven false prophets who have all lived in London in lesse then these 20. years: (viz.) Farnam, Bull, weavers, Robbins, Garment husbandmen. Smith, a shooe-maker. Muggleton and Reeve, taylors. Wherein is clearly discovered and confuted all their most blasphemous, damnable, false and rediculous tenents. Themselves and falshoods opened, anatomized, and dissected, and found to be no better then impostures, liers, deluders, and spirituall gypsies. Proved by time the mother of truth, reason, scripture, and their own contradictions. Written by Stephen Proud-love, a lover of the truth. 1653 (1653) Wing T3172A; ESTC R219214 8,882 17

And likewise that these pretended Prophets may not be the same false deceiving Prophets which our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ bids use beware and take heed of in the 7. of Matth. ver 15. therefore I have here inserted their Tenets as followeth Severall Tenets holden by these pretended Prophets 1. THe God whom they worship and serve hath not onely an Audible voyce but also the body of a man discribing him to be a little shorter then the Authour of this Book and a little taller then the said Prophet Reeve nay he was the pitch of a yong Gentleman whom they have blessed 2. That there is a place or Earth above the starrs wherein this bodily God doth reside and out of which he created this naturall Earth upon which we live and that in that upper or Firmamentall Earth there are Seas with all maner of Fishes and that there is all manner of Beasts and Fowls and there is the place or habitation of the blessed Angels as also of the Saints aforesaid 3. That the body and soul doth both depart this life and dye together and so continueth unto the Resurrection 4. That after the Generall Resurrection this Earth upon which we now live shall be a place whereupon all the damned shall reside and be tormented for ever 5. This shall be the torment wherewith the said damned should be tormented that their body should be as Brimstone and their spirit as fire there to burn and be tormented for ever and that there should be no outgoing nor incomming of any of the sences whereby they should have the least comfort or pleasure in any thing 6. Whereas some have declared and a many more may declare that they have received the assurance to themselves of Gods Love in Jesus Christ yet these doth declare that it is nothing nor of no worth if they should declare the contrary whereby they make themselves to be above God himself 7. That whosoever did not work for them were all sure as there were a God in Heaven damn'd to all Eternity There being once an old man in company whom they had formerly damd spoke to the Prophet Reeve to fall to his work again he did plainly declare in the hearing of a many that as sure as there was a God in heaven whosoever did not work for them was damn'd to all eternity further saying Old man there 's a doctrine for you 8. That most of all those who had drawn the Sword in these warrs were as sure as there was a God in Heaven damn'd to all Eternity and that Generall Cromwell himself if he should despise their Commission they would pronounce him a damn'd Reprobate 9. That all Ministers Lawyers Physitians and whosoever goeth to Law or whosoever taketh Physick for the recovery of their healths are in the state of damnation 10. That all those whom they damn in this world should never neither in this world nor in the world to come see or know any other Gods but them 11. That whosoever they declared or sentenced to be blessed should daily more and more encrease in faith and more and more daily should have power over sin and at a time one whom they bad blessed declaring plainly that he had not as yet found any such effects wrought on him they told him that their faith should uphold him till he had received faith of his own 12. One asking them how they should attain to their faith they told him that they must cast away al Ordinances as praying hearing and the like and beleeve them to be those two Prophets before-mentioned sent of God 13. If that God should not maintain them without working they would never serve such a God 14. That their God is wiser and knoweth more to day then yesterday and so continually encreaseth in wisdom knowledge 15. That the Judges of this Land together with the Ministers and Magistrates are those that shall be cast into the Lake alive 16. If they should be brought before Authority for this their judgement or practice they should not be half so fearfull to suffer death as Jesus Christ himself was I have also often observed one cheating trick or Policie of these last 2 pretended Prophets That when any came to reason with them and to put them to it they would presently pronounce the sentence of damnation against such a one meerly to shun all manner of Discourse with such saying That they were not to reason or bold Conferrence with the damned Now I come to a conclusion and therefore in the feare of God and all tendernesse of affection I would entreat all people to be carefull and take heed of all such false deceiving and deluding spirits which comes forth with such Messages to damn and to curse and sayes that they are sent of God for that end and purpose which in my judgement is one of the horridest blasphemies that ever I heard of and a doctrine so contrary to the tenor of the whole Gospel for our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in the 5. Chapter of Matthew pronounces many blessings but these two saith That no blessing of God shall be available upon any that shall in the least gainsay them the power of blessing and cursing being committed to them as the Instruments of God for that purpose and this also is far contrary to Pauls Doctrine who saith Bless and curse not knowing that ye are thereunto called and it hath been ever the property of all Saints in all Ages whensoever they came to the knowledge that they themselves were blessed of God not onely to refrain from Cursing but even with all their hearts and souls to Bless and to rejoyce themselves in Blessing but I have known these two pretended Prophets with all eagernesse and bitternesse of spirit to double and redouble their Curses upon some calling them Devills and Reprobated Devils meerly for not approving their judgements and therefore for my owne part I leave them to the judgement of those who shall have occasion to try them hereafter And so I conclude with these following Verses ¶ Here followeth some Verses of the Authors upon the word BROTHER to one he so called in London B BLest is that Light that whomsoere doth see Doth weare the Crown of Immortalitie In this Light life is and no death at all There 's all rejoycings there 's no Funerall R RUn through the world you body blood bone Take Scenses with you and you eight makes one Yet were your eight 10000 eight times more Ye were no neerer then you were before O O How the Light rejoyceth in it self It hath no respect to your worldly pelfe It doth not grow nor doth it ere decline It knows no degree between thine and mine T THe Darknesse judges all things to be light How can this be when they are meer dark night Unlesse it be as I beleeve and say That they do speak it out of a dark day H HE that 's in Light the light and he is one
