B09558 A looking-glass for George Fox the Quaker, and other Quakers; wherein they may see themselves to be right devils. In answer to George Fox his book, called, Something in answer to Lodowick Muggletons book, which he calls The Quakers neck broken. Wherein is set forth the ignorance and blindness of the Quakers doctrine of Christ within them; and that they cannot, nor doth not know the true meaning of the Scriptures, neither have they the gift of interpretation of Scripture. As will appear in those several heads set down in the next page following. / Written by Lodowick Muggleton ... Muggleton, Lodowick, 1609-1698. 1667 (1667) Wing M3046; ESTC R10137 83,636 106

scripture_n nor_o man_n here_o the_o reader_n may_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o quaker_n christ_n within_o they_o be_v no_o other_o but_o the_o law_n write_v in_o their_o heart_n as_o the_o heathen_a have_v as_o aforesaid_a their_o thought_n accuse_v and_o excuse_v this_o be_v that_o christ_n within_o they_o they_o so_o much_o talk_v of_o and_o this_o be_v that_o power_n and_o spirit_n and_o

never_o see_v no_o letter_n of_o scripture_n nor_o man_n that_o have_v faith_n not_o as_o they_o know_v yet_o they_o have_v the_o same_o christ_n within_o they_o as_o the_o quaker_n have_v by_o the_o

that_o profess_v scripture_n and_o that_o they_o do_v speak_v now_o they_o have_v see_v letter_n of_o scripture_n and_o man_n that_o profess_v it_o and_o believe_v it_o i_o say_v be_v the_o very_a same_o for_o the_o quaker_n have_v no_o more_o faith_n in_o the_o true_a christ_n then_o if_o they_o have_v never_o see_v letter_n of_o scripture_n nor_o any_o man_n that_o believe_v they_o what_o

not_o all_o man_n condemn_v both_o natural_a and_o spiritual_a by_o mortal_a man_n like_o themselves_o be_v not_o moses_n a_o mortal_a man_n do_v not_o he_o condemn_v and_o judge_v many_o to_o die_v he_o say_v but_o the_o word_n and_o it_o be_v do_v and_o do_v not_o eliah_n call_v for_o fire_n from_o heaven_n and_o destroy_v two_o captain_n and_o their_o fifty_n with_o many_o other_o strange_a thing_n he_o do_v whereby_o many_o be_v judge_v by_o he_o and_o kill_v yet_o he_o be_v but_o a_o mortal_a man_n and_o subject_n to_o infirmity_n as_o mortal_a man_n be_v as_o the_o scripture_n say_v again_o be_v not_o peter_n a_o mortal_a man_n and_o be_v put_v to_o death_n himself_o yet_o he_o judge_v ananias_n and_o saphirah_n his_o wife_n to_o death_n yet_o a_o mortal_a man_n so_o be_v it_o with_o every_o true_a prophet_n and_o messenger_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v power_n to_o set_v life_n and_o death_n before_o man_n and_o power_n to_o judge_v and_o condemn_v those_o that_o rebel_n against_o his_o commission_n and_o to_o justify_v those_o that_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o it_o yet_o all_o god_n messenger_n they_o be_v mortal_a man_n now_o these_o mortal_a man_n have_v great_a power_n be_v commissionated_a of_o god_n and_o they_o all_o act_v according_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o their_o commission_n and_o some_o of_o they_o destroy_v life_n present_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a if_o you_o fox_n have_v live_v in_o moses_n time_n you_o will_v have_v be_v consume_v by_o he_o in_o the_o gainsay_n of_o corah_n for_o you_o will_v have_v rebel_v against_o moses_n &_o aaron_n as_o you_o do_v now_o against_o john_n reeve_n and_o i_o but_o because_o my_o commission_n be_v not_o to_o consume_v you_o immediate_o by_o a_o natural_a destruction_n you_o proud_o vaunt_v yourself_o against_o the_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n think_v you_o and_o your_o christ_n within_o you_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o encounter_v with_o i_o and_o my_o christ_n without_o i_o but_o i_o must_v judge_v according_a to_o my_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o as_o moses_n and_o the_o apostle_n do_v to_o destroy_v the_o natural_a life_n immediate_o but_o our_o commission_n be_v with_o relation_n to_o the_o spiritual_a estate_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n after_o death_n and_o according_o we_o judge_v yet_o but_o mortal_a man_n and_o must_v die_v ourselves_o this_o power_n have_v god_n give_v unto_o i_o and_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o be_o i_o make_v judge_n of_o the_o quaker_n spiritual_a and_o eternal_a estate_n what_o will_v become_v of_o many_o of_o you_o after_o death_n and_o as_o for_o that_o say_n the_o spiritual_a man_n judge_v all_o thing_n this_o be_v to_o be_v mind_v that_o every_o true_a messenger_n and_o minister_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v call_v a_o spiritual_a man_n and_o he_o be_v so_o because_o he_o teach_v such_o doctrine_n that_o do_v comfort_v the_o spirit_n of_o some_o and_o torment_v the_o spirit_n of_o other_o in_o that_o it_o divide_v between_o the_o joint_n and_o the_o marrow_n also_o those_o that_o true_o believe_v may_v be_v call_v spiritual_a man_n and_o can_v judge_v the_o spirit_n of_o unbeliever_n because_o they_o know_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o true_a god_n that_o other_o that_o have_v not_o the_o same_o faith_n can_v have_v that_o peace_n as_o they_o have_v for_o they_o know_v by_o experience_n in_o themselves_o when_o they_o be_v unbeliever_n they_o be_v without_o god_n in_o the_o world_n and_o so_o be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v who_o be_v happy_a and_o who_o be_v not_o but_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o true_a god_n they_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n and_o so_o can_v discern_v and_o judge_v the_o spirit_n of_o other_o by_o what_o they_o be_v themselves_o who_o be_v some_o time_n in_o darkness_n but_o now_o in_o the_o light_n of_o heaven_n and_o who_o ever_o have_v this_o true_a faith_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o true_a god_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o spiritual_a man_n and_o able_a to_o judge_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v naught_o in_o himself_o and_o all_o the_o unbelief_n and_o despising_n of_o other_o and_o so_o he_o judge_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o faith_n in_o the_o true_a god_n and_o in_o the_o messenger_n god_n have_v send_v yet_o minister_n and_o people_n be_v but_o mortal_a man_n and_o must_v die_v yet_o call_v by_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n the_o spiritual_a man_n that_o judge_v all_o thing_n and_o be_v judge_v of_o no_o man_n therefore_o you_o fox_n shall_v never_o have_v any_o spiritual_a man_n to_o judge_v you_o to_o eternal_a damnation_n but_o
himself_o do_v interpret_v this_o scripture_n to_o the_o eunuch_n or_o do_v it_o belong_v to_o a_o mortal_a man_n i_o think_v you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o gross_o ignorant_a to_o say_v that_o christ_n himself_o go_v into_o the_o eunuch_n chariot_n and_o interpret_v those_o scripture_n to_o he_o sure_o if_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n have_v belong_v only_o unto_o christ_n and_o not_o unto_o man_n as_o fox_n do_v assert_v than_o christ_n must_v have_v come_v from_o heaven_n and_o have_v go_v into_o the_o chariot_n in_o philip_n stead_n because_o philip_n be_v a_o man_n and_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n do_v not_o belong_v to_o man_n as_o fox_n the_o quaker_n say_v may_v not_o any_o man_n that_o have_v but_o the_o light_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n in_o his_o understanding_n see_v the_o gross_a darkness_n of_o these_o quaker_n which_o pretend_v to_o be_v in_o the_o clear_a light_n of_o all_o the_o seven_o church_n but_o to_o my_o knowledge_n the_o dark_a of_o all_o in_o point_n of_o doctrine_n and_o as_o for_o that_o say_n of_o scripture_n we_o shall_v be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v that_o god_n will_v teach_v every_o particular_a man_n and_o woman_n himself_o do_v you_o fox_n believe_v so_o why_o then_o do_v you_o prattle_v to_o the_o people_n when_o you_o meet_v as_o if_o you_o will_v interpret_v the_o meaning_n of_o scripture_n and_o teach_v the_o people_n the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n for_o you_o be_v but_o a_o man_n why_o do_v not_o you_o let_v christ_n teach_v the_o people_n himself_o see_v you_o will_v have_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o allow_v no_o man_n to_o interpret_v scripture_n nor_o teach_v the_o people_n for_o if_o you_o say_v christ_n do_v interpret_v scripture_n and_o not_o muggleton_n because_o muggleton_n be_v a_o man_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n you_o say_v belong_v to_o christ_n and_o not_o to_o muggleton_n for_o muggleton_n be_v but_o a_o man_n so_o quaker_n be_v all_o teach_v of_o god_n and_o not_o by_o man_n i_o marvel_v why_o there_o be_v so_o many_o men-teacher_n among_o the_o quaker_n see_v teach_v knowledge_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n belong_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o not_o to_o man_n if_o i_o be_v of_o your_o faith_n i_o will_v give_v over_o teach_v and_o talk_v of_o the_o scripture_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n to_o who_o it_o do_v and_o it_o will_v be_v well_o for_o you_o speaker_n of_o the_o quaker_n if_o you_o have_v do_v so_o before_o you_o take_v upon_o you_o to_o preach_v christ_n within_o you_o you_o have_v undertake_v to_o teach_v that_o which_o you_o say_v god_n will_v do_v and_o to_o interpret_v scripture_n which_o you_o say_v do_v belong_v unto_o christ_n but_o i_o see_v all_o those_o people_n that_o will_v be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o have_v the_o scripture_n interpret_v unto_o they_o by_o christ_n himself_o and_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o interpretation_n from_o man_n i_o say_v those_o people_n be_v more_o ignorant_a and_o dark_a in_o their_o mind_n than_o those_o that_o be_v teach_v by_o man_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a the_o quaker_n people_n will_v have_v know_v more_o truth_n if_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o man_n that_o have_v a_o commission_n from_o god_n as_o reeve_n and_o muggleton_n have_v than_o they_o do_v by_o all_o that_o god_n ever_o teach_v they_o in_o their_o life_n and_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n we_o have_v give_v if_o understand_v will_v have_v inform_v their_o judgement_n more_o than_o all_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n that_o christ_n ever_o do_v interpret_v unto_o the_o quaker_n people_n since_o the_o name_n of_o quaker_n be_v put_v upon_o they_o yet_o we_o be_v but_o mortal_a man_n and_o must_v die_v but_o to_o clear_v the_o scruple_n that_o may_v arise_v in_o man_n mind_n because_o i_o speak_v thus_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o a_o few_o word_n how_o man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n and_o how_o the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n may_v be_v say_v to_o belong_v unto_o christ_n first_o when_o god_n choose_v any_o one_o man_n or_o more_o to_o

and_o will_v any_o dare_v to_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o soul_n of_o god_n it_o be_v high_a blasphemy_n to_o affirm_v the_o contrary_a beside_o it_o cut_v a_o man_n

the_o soul_n or_o life_n of_o abel_n or_o no_o or_o do_v he_o only_o drive_v his_o soul_n or_o spirit_n out_o of_o his_o body_n sure_o if_o cain_n have_v not_o kill_v abel_n soul_n his_o blood_n

the_o king_n person_n be_v at_o a_o great_a distance_n from_o his_o messenger_n so_o it_o be_v with_o christ_n ambassador_n as_o paul_n say_v we_o be_v ambassador_n in_o christ_n stead_n beseech_v

from_o baptist_n to_o quaker_n and_o independent_o to_o baptist_n and_o quaker_n fall_v from_o that_o principle_n to_o other_o and_o some_o to_o atheism_n yet_o this_o be_v not_o proper_o a_o fall_v away_o because_o there_o be_v no_o true_a prophet_n or_o ministry_n among_o they_o all_o not_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o that_o to_o my_o knowledge_n many_o have_v fall_v from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o and_o at_o last_o have_v come_v to_o be_v save_v by_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o have_v have_v assurance_n of_o eternal_a life_n in_o themselves_o notwithstanding_o
