The mystery of the dispute between Christ and the woman of Samaria, as touching the true point of worship, clearly opened : wherein you have drawn up a divine charge against the teachers of the Baptists, with all other teachers publick and private, for counterfeiting the commission of the man Jesus, being therein convicted of spiritual high treason against Christ the great commissioner of heaven and earth : with a true relation of the kingdom of darkness, prepared for the cursed seed of Cain, world without end / written by John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton ...

into a Horse or into a Root or into a Flower with many more such like cursed expressions they being more ignorant if it be possible of the Lord Jesus through the love of fleshly pleasures then the brute beasts therefore they reason against their own reason and say this Creation or VVorld had never any beginning nor never shall have any ending two cursed lyes Again They call perishing nature God or Creator saying God is all things and all things is God Thus these blaspheming Devils liken the incorruptible Spirit of God the man Jesus not only u●to the unclean spirit and cursed imagination living in the body of corr pt man but unto the spirits of unclean beast and creeping things as those Atheists in the time of Paul These are those who received the truth to prate of it only but not in the love of it having pleasure in unrighteousnesse therefore given up to strong delusions to believe a lie that they might all the damned then these Scriptures will be fulfilled He made all things for his own glory and the wicked for the day of wrath Again He shall come in flaming fire to render vengeance upon them that know not God and obey not the Gospel of Jesus ●hrist Again But these as natural brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed speak evil of the things they understand not and shall utterly perish in their own corruption Again Ha●ing eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin beguiling unstable souls an heart they have exercised with covetous p●actises cursed children which have forsaken the right way and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor who loved the wages of unrighteousnesse Again Raging waves of the sea foaming out their own shame wandring stars to whom is reserved the blacknesse of darknesse for ever Again And also Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied of these saying behold the Lord cometh with ten Thousands of his Saints to execute judgment upon all and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodlily committed and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him XIII AGain Unto you that see by the Eye of Faith from the Lord I shall shew you that general Error amongst men concerning the spirit of man in death some say the spirit dyeth not at all but immediately goeth into Heaven or into Hell and the body goes to the dust only others say the spirit dyeth not but goeth into another form either of man or some other creature as beforesaid others say or think all mens spirits go into a Hell or Purgatory when they die for a season others blasphemously say that the spirit of man is God and that the body only dies and turn to dust these say also God is an infinite Spirit and all spirits came from his Spirit and so return into his spirit again others say the spirit and body or think it turns to dust for ever indeed almost all men are in darknesse because they walk by thinking only about things of eternity but about things that perish they think them hardly ever sure enough unto them wherefore unto you whose bodies are the Temples of the Holy Ghost from the Lord Jesus I shall declare unto you the truth of this secret you may know that the spirit is nothing at all without a body and a body is nothing at all without a spirit neither of them can live or have a being without the other you may know it is the spirit only in the body of man that li●es and speaks and walks and works and eats and drinks and dies for the spirit is a natural fire of Reason which is that life of light heat or motion that as a ●…re kindleth life and strength through all the flesh or body of man only the principal part of the understanding of this natural fire of the spirit of Reason liveth in the head of man because that is the glory of the man so that the spirit or soul is the man although it cannot possibly be without the form or body wherefore when man dies and turns to his dust it is that natural spirit of the fire of Reason that was the life or spirit of the body that dyeth or is quenched and goeth out within the body as fire goeth out in an Oven that is closed so doth the spirit of man die within his body from all sensible life heart or motion until the visible coming of the Lord of life in the Clouds of Heaven at the last day therefore it is written Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return when the Lord spake those words he did not speak to the flesh or outward form or body of the man but he spake to the inward spirit or soul that understands the words of a spirit again it is written in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt dye the death that is if thou through disobedience to my command dost forfeit the image of thy Creation then thou shalt see mortality or death within thy own body both spiritual and natural and the fear of eternal death also Thus it is clear to you that believe in the Lord Jesus that the spirit of man dies and turns to dust within the body because nothing can possibly die but it must first live so likewise nothing can possibly quicken or live again but that which is absolutely dead or dust or asleep void of all motion heat life light or sense being utterly annihilated to its self and all other creatures only being alive in the memory of God that God alone the man Jesus might have all the Glory in the new creating of Mankind at the last out of dust as he had in creating of man at the first out of dust according to that saying in the Revelation Behold I create all things new in answer to that Creation in Genesis Thus it is with the grain or body of Wheat except it dies it never comes to perfection but abides alone in the dust for ever But on the contrary if the spirit of life which is in the body of Wheat doth absolutely die within its body then by the decree of God it quickens out of death unto a new life immediately and brings ●orth a glorious Resurrection in due season of many bodies in the same form like unto that which died of the very same nature Thus it is by the decree of the Lord Jesus with the natural spirits of all the Elect first they are dead in sins and Trespasses before they are capable by the spirit or truth to live in righteousness so likewise the spirits of men and women must be absolutely dead when they fall asleep in the dust or else they were never capable to rise again neither in glory nor in shame so that by the decree of God all life both spiritual and natural must first enter into death that through death or in death they may quicken a

new life of a glorious encrease both spiritual and natural so that death in its place is as useful for the Creators raising of glory to himself as life is in its place this proves the truth of these Scriptures He poured out his soul unto death again The soul that sins shall die again He c●yed with a loud voyce and gave up the ghost again In the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt die the death again His soul was made an offering for sin again He was put to death in thy flesh and quicked in the spirit I know I have written enough to satisfie in the proof of this truth all spiritual Christians XIV AGain it is written and those that sleep in Jesus shall rise first that is those that fell asleep in the believing of the visible coming of the glorious person of the Lord Jesus in the clouds of Heaven in power and great glory their bodies shall be raised first out of the sleep of death because they were united by faith unto the person of their Lord Jesus who was the first that ever rose from the dead by his own power who raised life in death or out of death therefore he was called the first fruits of the resurrection or of life from death again you that see by faith m●y understand that not the same bodie● that died or fell asleep shall appear any more at all then the body of wheat doth as beforesaid which Paul fitly compareth together in their resurrection where it is written but God giveth it a body as it pleaseth him and to every seed his ●wn body that is as beforesaid that grain or body of wheat that died quickened a new life out of death and brought forth in a glorious manner in due season many bodies of the same form of that that dyed and yet that body that died appeared no more so likewise it shall be with all that died in the faith of Jesus not the same bodies or persons they lived in and died in shall appear again any more but that spirit of faith mixt with pure love and all other spiritual vertues that were in their former bodies by the which they died unto the power of sin and lived unto the power of righteousnesse that divine seed of faith sowed in the former body died with the first body immediately quickned a new life out of death by the decree of the Lord Jesus for you know there is no time now unto God nor unto them that are dead and so brought forth a spiritual body in its ●orm like unto that in the dust yea of a body of pure righteousness the same nature of that holy spiritual faith that raised it out of death yea a glorious body brighter then the Sun in its strength and as swift as thought yea bodies of such a bright burning glory that no persecuting Canaanites can behold and live because our spirits and bodies according to our faith and shall be made like unto the glorious body of God the man Jesus the which no man in mortality with his natural eye can behold and live then shall all the Elect in the twinkling of an eye both those that slept in the dust and those that are alive at that time whose bodies also shall be changed like unto those that slept then I say they shall all ascend together as one body to meet their Head the Lord Jesus in the Aire and with their King they shall enter into his Kingdom of eternal glory where that new Heaven and new Earth are beforesaid there with holy Angels to behold the glorious face of the only wise God and everlasting Father the Lord Jesus Christ with new glorious songs and praises unto their Redeemers that was dead as it is written to redeem us by his precious blood from eternal death and now behold be liveth for evermore therefore we eternally live with him XV. AGain I declare by revelation from the Holy Spirit that when the Elect are thus glorified they are absolutely of the very same glorious nature both in spirit and body as God is as God and they were both of one nature in mortality sin only excepted wherefore as the spirit of faith and love infinitely in the glorious person of God overfloweth as a fountain continually with revelation of new Heavenly wisedom from whence flows new joys and glory to himself and the holy Angels so shall every Believer according to his degree in glory be as a Well springing up unto everlasting life of revelation of new wisedom from whence flows new joys and glory within his own person like unto his God only they shall naturally returne the glory and praise unto their fountain the Lord Jesus for this their exaltation upon the glorious Throne of his own likenesse for it is the righteous actings and sufferings that was in the innocent body of the Lord Jesus when the was in mortality that by his infinite wisedom is made naturally that glorious fire to kindle new Revelation of Heavenly wisdom with in his body for the increase of his glory to all eternity as beforesaid so likewise all those righteous actings and sufferings for truth sake that were acted and suffered in our former bodies by the appointment of our God shall be conveyed into our new spritual bodies that are like unto our God and shall be that glorious fire naturally to kindle revelation of new wisedom from whence flows glorious new songs and praises unto our Redeemer the fountain of all our glory for everlasting world without end as abundantly beforesaid then shall these Scriptures be fulfilled to him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in his throne Again and he that overcometh and keepeth my words unto the end to him will I give power over the Nations and be shall rule them with a Rod of iron as the vessels of a Potter shall they be broken to shivers even as I received of my Father and I will give him the morning star Again him that overcometh will I make a Pillar in the Temple of my God and he shall go no more out and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the City of my God which is new Jerusalem which cometh down out of Heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name Again he that overcometh shall inherit all things and I will be his God and he shall be my son Again henceforth I will not drink of this fruit of the Vine until that day I drink it new with you in my fathers Kingdom Again and from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witnesse and the first begotten of the dead and the Prince of the Kings of the Earth Unto him that hath loved us as washed us from our sins in his own blood and hath made us Kings and Priests unto God and his Father to him be glory and dominion for

he said that he was Judge both of quick and dead again he said that the Lord Jesus was a weak and an imperfect Saviour and afraid of death but he said that he had no fear of death in him at all but this Cain hath proved himself an old lyar since his great blasphemy against the Lord Jesus again this John Robins did declare that he was to gather the Jews in all Nation● and to lead them into their own Land unto Jerusalem with many more such like things declared by him A for his lying spiritual signes and wonders they were these and such like unto some that were deceived by him he did present the form of his person riding upon the wings of the Wind like unto a flame of fire also he did present unto some in their beds a great light like unto a flame of fire over all the Room that they have been compell'd to hide their faces in their beds fearing they should be burn'd but when they hid their faces in their bed the light did appear more brighter then before also he would present unto them half Moons and Stars and sometimes thick darknesse darker then any natural darknesse whatsoever also he did present his head only in the day time without a body to a Gentlewoman that I know in her Chamber also presenting unto her to deceive her the forms of strance beasts as namely Dragons and such like Again I declare from the Lord that this John Robins did present the form of his face looking me in the face in my bed the most part of a night insomuch that I cryed in my spirit unto the Lord and the Lord by his Spirit revealed this great Antichrist unto me to my exceeding joy and his everlasting praise Much more might be spoken of his deceits in this kind but now I shall declare the manner of his being worshipped as a God by those deceived by him they prayd unto him and they fell flat on their faces and worshipped him calling him their Lord and their God also he gave commandment to some of them that they should not make mention of any other God but him on●y also he gave authority unto some of his Disciples both unto men and women to change their wives and their husbands telling them that they were not united to their own bone This cursed Cain changed his own wife first for an example and called her name Eve telling his Disciples that she should bring forth his Son Jesus and it should be caught up into Heaven many of his Disciples following of his cursed example to their utter ruine in this life and that to come a so he commanded his Disciples to abstain from meats and drinks promising them that they should in a short time be fed with Manna from Heaven until many a poor soul was almost starved under his dyet yea and some were absolutely starved to death whose bodies could not bear his diet for those that believed on him indeed they brought in their whole estates unto him so that then he had full power over their souls and bodies and estates and he did plague their spirits and bodies at his pleasure in a most dreadful manner if they were not obedient to his commands of the which I my self was an eye-witnesse I could speak more of this Prince of Devils in this last age but I know I have written enough for a spiritual Chri●●●an to discern something of this great Deceiver in what I have written when his wickednesse was at the full the Lord Jesus sent me as beforesaid unto this John Robins to declare his wickednesse unto him and immediately to pronounce him cursed in soul and body from the presence of the Lord Jesus to all eternity unto the which I with my fellow witnesse were made obedient then about two months after this sentence of the Lord Jesus this John Robins wrote a Recantation of all his seeming great matters declared by him and sent the writing to General Cromwell and so obtained his liberty when he was out of prison he gave all his disciples about London the slip and with what silver stead of building of Cities he went into his own Country and repurchased his Land but it was re-bought with the innocent blood of many poor innocent souls in the highest nature that ever any man gained such a sum of silver as he did III. A Gain I declare from the Lord Jesus that all those that bear the name of Christians and yet make use of the sword of steel to slay men who are the image of God they are utterly ignorant of the true God and man Jesus and enemies to his Gospel that commands men to love their enemies therefore their fleshly reasoning causeth them to forsake the Gospel of suffering the Grosse of Christ and they apply themselves to the Law of Moses to prove it lawful to kill the Gospel of Jesus instead of yielding obedience unto it Unto you that are chosen to work righteousnesse I declare by revelation from the Holy Spirit that no spiritual Christian hath any thing to do to meddle with any Scripture from the Law given by the hand of Moses to prove it lawful to warre with the sword of steel because it was lawful for the Nation of the Jews only by commission from the Lord to warre against all the Heathen Gentiles that rose up against the Jews because they worshipped the God of Israel who was contrary to the Heathen Idol-gods and this war of the Jews was lawful until God the Father became flesh to reconcile both Jew and Gentile into that one faith in the body of his flesh and no longer Therefore since God became flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone sinne only excepted I declare from the Lord Jesus that they that are Christians indeed they are not under the Law of Moses that is a Sword of steel but they are under Grace or the Gospel of Jesus that is the sword of the Holy Spirit that makes all true Christians to understand that in this work their portions is to suffer all kind of wrong from all men and to return mercy and forgivenesse unto all men yea and to forgive those that would kill them because they know all vengeance is the Lords and he will repay it therefore they dare not rob God of his glory Again when the Lord Jesus gave that new Law of love unto all his elect believers where he saith it was said of old an Eye for an Eye and a Tooth for a Tooth but I say unto you love your enemies blesse them that curse you do good to them that hate you These be those Christians indeed that may be called perfect as their heavenly Father was perfect the Lord Jesus who did all good and suffered all wrong yea and laid down his life for that whole world of his Elect when they were all become his enemies Again I declare from the Lord Jesus that they that are new born by the Holy
