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

make_v this_o good_a by_o scripture_n chap._n v._o answer_n i_o have_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n abundant_o by_o scripture_n in_o my_o other_o write_n in_o the_o mortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o divine_a looking-glass_n and_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o eleven_o of_o the_o revelation_n and_o in_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o whole_a book_n of_o the_o revelation_n these_o several_a book_n write_v by_o we_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n have_v clear_o open_v those_o two_o point_n as_o much_o as_o any_o one_o thing_n whatsoever_o but_o i_o perceive_v this_o fox_n have_v see_v none_o of_o our_o book_n not_o as_o to_o read_v they_o but_o this_o book_n only_o of_o the_o quaker_n neck_n break_v which_o make_v he_o so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o scripture_n and_o of_o what_o we_o have_v write_v also_o its_o prove_v my_o word_n true_a that_o the_o quaker_n will_v not_o bestow_v a_o penny_n in_o any_o of_o my_o write_n but_o their_o own_o but_o because_o some_o may_v see_v this_o answer_n to_o fox_n that_o have_v not_o see_v the_o other_o book_n aforementioned_a i_o shall_v prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n again_o that_o the_o right_a devil_n become_v flesh_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n to_o be_v mortal_a first_o i_o shall_v prove_v the_o devil_n become_v flesh_n let_v the_o reader_n mind_n the_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n in_o the_o first_o epistle_n of_o john_n chap._n 3._o verse_n 8._o it_o be_v thus_o write_v he_o that_o commit_v sin_n be_v of_o the_o devil_n for_o the_o devil_n sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n mark_v these_o word_n the_o devil_n sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o wicked_o ignorant_a to_o say_v that_o adam_n be_v this_o devil_n that_o sin_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o adam_n be_v never_o call_v a_o devil_n not_o throughout_o the_o scripture_n for_o adam_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o christ_n and_o there_o be_v none_o will_v dare_v to_o say_v the_o devil_n be_v the_o father_n of_o christ_n which_o i_o shall_v open_v more_o clear_a hereafter_o but_o then_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v some_o other_o devil_n in_o the_o beginning_n which_o all_o man_n be_v ignorant_a of_o in_o these_o our_o day_n but_o this_o commission_n of_o the_o spirit_n only_o now_o this_o devil_n that_o commit_v sin_n from_o the_o beginning_n must_v needs_o be_v that_o serpent_n that_o be_v call_v a_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n this_o i_o declare_v be_v the_o devil_n now_o this_o devil_n become_v flesh_n and_o after_o he_o become_v flesh_n than_o the_o devil_n commit_v sin_n and_o this_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o scripture_n go_v no_o further_a than_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o adam_n now_o mind_n the_o twelve_o verse_n that_o prove_v that_o cain_n be_v the_o first_o devil_n in_o flesh_n john_n exhort_v the_o believer_n that_o they_o shall_v love_v one_o another_o which_o commandment_n be_v from_o the_o beginning_n not_o as_o cain_n who_o be_v of_o that_o wicked_a one_o and_o slay_v his_o brother_n here_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o cain_n be_v none_o of_o adam_n son_n for_o adam_n be_v never_o count_v a_o wicked_a one_o by_o any_o that_o write_v scripture_n so_o that_o cain_n father_n be_v the_o devil_n that_o be_v he_o be_v that_o serpent_n angel_n that_o

devil_n commit_v from_o the_o beginning_n for_o what_o the_o devil_n do_v before_o he_o become_v flesh_n be_v not_o count_v by_o moses_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n to_o be_v sin_n for_o sin_n be_v not_o impute_v to_o spiritual_a body_n but_o to_o natural_a body_n only_o for_o spiritual_a body_n be_v either_o to_o receive_v the_o fruit_n of_o happiness_n or_o the_o punishment_n of_o what_o they_o do_v in_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o flesh_n again_o that_o i_o may_v give_v the_o reader_n a_o further_a proof_n of_o this_o mind_n the_o scripture_n say_v there_o be_v two_o seed_n the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n and_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n now_o god_n have_v put_v enmity_n between_o these_o two_o seed_n now_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v of_o fox_n from_o whence_o this_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n come_v if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o come_v from_o adam_n as_o most_o quaker_n do_v they_o blaspheme_v against_o god_n that_o make_v adam_n in_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n both_o spirit_n and_o body_n only_a adam_n be_v earthly_a and_o god_n be_v heavenly_a but_o adam_n have_v but_o one_o seed_n in_o his_o creation_n but_o as_o man_n be_v generate_v they_o come_v to_o have_v two_o seed_n in_o they_o so_o that_o this_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n must_v needs_o be_v from_o the_o fall_a angel_n that_o deceive_v eve_n who_o be_v call_v a_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o this_o seed_n of_o the_o serpent_n that_o shall_v be_v at_o enmity_n with_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n it_o be_v the_o devil_n in_o flesh_n for_o god_n own_v the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n to_o be_v his_o own_o seed_n so_o that_o cain_n be_v the_o devil_n become_v flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n and_o that_o seed_n of_o reason_n in_o cain_n be_v now_o become_v mortal_a which_o be_v immortal_a before_o eve_n eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n it_o come_v to_o commit_v sin_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o to_o generate_v and_o bring_v forth_o million_o of_o devil_n of_o his_o own_o seed_n and_o nature_n and_o so_o the_o enmity_n of_o the_o two_o seed_n continue_v from_o generation_n to_o generation_n to_o the_o world_n end_n for_o we_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o cain_n be_v the_o father_n of_o all_o wicked_a man_n and_o woman_n and_o that_o wicked_a man_n and_o woman_n be_v his_o child_n as_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v in_o matthew_n how_o the_o devil_n tempt_v christ_n that_o devil_n that_o tempt_v christ_n be_v a_o man_n yet_o call_v a_o devil_n as_o you_o may_v see_v deuteronomy_n the_o six_o and_o the_o sixteenth_o verse_n that_o the_o jew_n that_o tempt_v god_n be_v call_v devil_n and_o when_o christ_n answer_v the_o devil_n and_o say_v it_o be_v write_v thou_o shall_v not_o tempt_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n but_o he_o only_o shall_v thou_o serve_v so_o that_o rebellious_a man_n be_v call_v the_o devil_n that_o tempt_v god_n and_o where_o be_v there_o ever_o give_v any_o law_n to_o any_o other_o devil_n but_o to_o man_n to_o serve_v the_o lord_n his_o god_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v clear_a to_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n that_o man_n be_v a_o devil_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o devil_n that_o can_v or_o do_v tempt_v god_n but_o man_n again_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o man_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n now_o they_o can_v be_v child_n of_o the_o devil_n except_o they_o be_v of_o his_o seed_n beget_v of_o he_o and_o this_o be_v clear_a by_o scripture_n as_o may_v be_v read_v john_n 8._o verse_n 44._o christ_n say_v to_o the_o jew_n that_o be_v man_n who_o say_v they_o be_v abraham_n child_n and_o say_v they_o be_v god_n child_n but_o christ_n say_v these_o man_n be_v the_o devil_n child_n you_o be_v say_v he_o of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o the_o lust_n of_o your_o father_n you_o will_v do_v he_o be_v a_o murderer_n from_o the_o beginning_n and_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o truth_n because_o there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o he_o when_o he_o speak_v a_o lie_n he_o speak_v of_o his_o own_o for_o he_o be_v a_o liar_n and_o the_o father_n of_o it_o now_o mind_n there_o never_o be_v no_o liar_n nor_o murderer_n but_o man_n and_o cain_n be_v the_o first_o murderer_n and_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n for_o when_o cain_n kill_v abel_n and_o lie_v unto_o god_n and_o say_v be_o i_o my_o brother_n keeper_n this_o be_v the_o first_o murder_n and_o lie_v the_o devil_n cain_n commit_v upon_o earth_n after_o the_o devil_n become_v flesh_n therefore_o call_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o revelation_n of_o faith_n a_o murderer_n and_o a_o liar_n from_o the_o beginning_n for_o then_o the_o devil_n in_o flesh_n begin_v to_o murder_v and_o lie_v and_o so_o this_o sin_n have_v run_v in_o the_o line_n of_o all_o his_o posterity_n from_o generation_n to_o generation_n so_o that_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v that_o man_n be_v the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o that_o the_o devil_n their_o father_n be_v a_o man_n even_o cain_n this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o from_o this_o cain_n do_v feorge_n fox_n come_v and_o this_o

and_o bare_a cain_n and_o she_o say_v he_o have_v receive_v a_o man_n from_o the_o lord_n and_o yet_o that_o cain_n be_v none_o of_o adam_n beget_v for_o we_o never_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o ever_o adam_n beget_v cain_n neither_o be_v adam_n call_v cain_n father_n but_o she_o be_v with_o child_n by_o that_o serpent_n angel_n before_o adam_n know_v she_o but_o he_o be_v but_o a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v her_o sin_n as_o many_o adulterous_a woman_n have_v be_v with_o child_n by_o other_o man_n that_o be_v not_o their_o husband_n yet_o their_o husband_n have_v be_v a_o cloak_n to_o cover_v their_o shame_n and_o the_o child_n have_v be_v count_v her_o husband_n which_o be_v nothing_o so_o this_o many_o can_v experience_n if_o they_o will_v and_o that_o many_o of_o the_o quaker_n too_o when_o they_o be_v ranter_n if_o not_o since_o so_o that_o cain_n be_v none_o of_o adam_n beget_n though_o he_o know_v his_o wife_n eve_n but_o some_o may_v say_v why_o do_v not_o moses_n tell_v we_o these_o thing_n to_o that_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o make_v know_v to_o he_o nor_o to_o no_o other_o till_o now_o but_o to_o the_o witness_n of_o the_o spirit_n only_o the_o condition_n of_o eve_n be_v much_o like_o the_o condition_n of_o mary_n the_o virgin_n she_o be_v espouse_v to_o joseph_n before_o she_o be_v with_o child_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n but_o joseph_n never_o know_v she_o before_o nor_o after_o she_o be_v with_o child_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n till_o that_o child_n jesus_n be_v bear_v therefore_o jesus_n be_v call_v emanuel_n that_o be_v god_n with_o we_o that_o be_v god_n be_v bear_v of_o a_o virgin_n also_o mary_n be_v say_v to_o conceive_v with_o child_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n yet_o if_o joseph_n have_v know_v mary_n his_o espouse_a wife_n in_o the_o interim_n of_o her_o conception_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v like_a that_o mary_n will_v have_v say_v that_o she_o have_v receive_v her_o child_n jesus_n from_o joseph_n her_o husband_n for_o she_o can_v not_o tell_v which_o get_v it_o if_o such_o a_o thing_n shall_v have_v be_v but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o order_v with_o she_o than_o it_o be_v with_o eve_n for_o adam_n know_v eve_n as_o soon_o as_o the_o angel_n have_v enter_v into_o her_o womb_n and_o then_o adam_n know_v his_o wife_n after_o they_o be_v put_v forth_o from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n so_o that_o eva_n do_v not_o know_v which_o she_o be_v with_o child_n by_o the_o serpent_n angel_n or_o her_o husband_n adam_n so_o that_o she_o may_v well_o say_v she_o have_v receive_v a_o man_n from_o the_o lord_n but_o if_o eve_n have_v not_o entice_v her_o husband_n to_o know_v she_o that_o be_v eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n she_o will_v have_v bring_v forth_o according_a to_o the_o time_n of_o life_n that_o very_o same_o devil_n cain_n flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n as_o she_o do_v if_o adam_n have_v never_o know_v she_o in_o that_o time_n even_o as_o the_o virgin_n mary_n do_v the_o bless_a jesus_n the_o god_n and_o saviour_n of_o the_o seed_n of_o adam_n with_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n so_o that_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v clear_o that_o adam_n be_v not_o cain_n father_n neither_o do_v he_o beget_v he_o for_o cain_n be_v the_o devil_n become_v flesh_n and_o this_o be_v the_o right_a devil_n and_o you_o fox_n the_o quaker_n be_v one_o of_o his_o son_n beget_v by_o he_o but_o to_o make_v it_o more_o clear_a that_o adam_n be_v not_o cain_n father_n he_o can_v not_o be_v cain_n father_n and_o christ_n father_n also_o now_o we_o find_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o christ_n do_v own_o adam_n to_o be_v his_o father_n and_o the_o scripture_n do_v own_o cain_n to_o be_v the_o right_a devil_n and_o the_o father_n of_o all_o other_o devil_n as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o and_o that_o adam_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o christ_n read_v luke_n the_o three_o to_o the_o last_o verse_n in_o the_o genealogy_n which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o enos_n which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o seth_n which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o adam_n which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o that_o god_n be_v adam_n father_n as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o adam_n be_v christ_n father_n as_o he_o be_v man_n therefore_o call_v himself_o the_o son_n of_o man._n what_o do_v you_o quaker_n think_v the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n be_v and_o that_o serpent_n that_o beguile_v eve_n do_v you_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v some_o appletree_n and_o the_o serpent_n to_o be_v a_o ugly_a snake_n and_o so_o this_o snake_n creep_v up_o the_o tree_n and_o get_v a_o apple_n in_o his_o mouth_n and_o the_o woman_n take_v the_o apple_n out_o of_o the_o snake_n mouth_n and_o so_o eat_v of_o it_o and_o give_v her_o husband_n to_o eat_v and_o so_o bring_v themselves_o into_o this_o misery_n and_o all_o mankind_n do_v you_o teach_v your_o hearer_n this_o what_o be_v it_o you_o teach_v that_o your_o hearer_n be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o the_o right_a devil_n and_o of_o the_o scripture_n this_o be_v the_o faith_n that_o other_o religious_a man_n do_v believe_v concern_v the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o of_o the_o serpent_n but_o you_o quaker_n carry_v it_o in_o a_o allegory_n so_o that_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v of_o it_o neither_o one_o way_n nor_o other_o but_o all_o professor_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v own_o that_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v christ_n and_o i_o suppose_v you_o quaker_n do_v so_o too_o if_o you_o grant_v that_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n be_v christ_n than_o this_o tree_n of_o life_n can_v speak_v now_o if_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n do_v speak_v why_o shall_v not_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n speak_v also_o if_o christ_n the_o tree_n of_o life_n because_o he_o give_v life_n to_o every_o thing_n in_o creation_n so_o why_o pray_v not_o the_o angel_n be_v call_v a_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a or_o a_o serpent_n which_o bring_v death_n and_o misery_n upon_o the_o whole_a creation_n and_o we_o read_v that_o the_o serpent_n speak_v wise_a word_n who_o say_v to_o the_o woman_n they_o shall_v become_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_n do_v ever_o any_o snake_n we_o call_v serpent_n speak_v such_o a_o language_n sure_o no._n i_o marvel_v people_n be_v so_o unwilling_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n shall_v be_v a_o angel_n and_o yet_o speak_v such_o godlike_a wisdom_n and_o have_v bring_v such_o woeful_a misery_n upon_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o very_o many_o man_n and_o woman_n do_v eat_v of_o the_o same_o forbid_a fruit_n now_o as_o adam_n and_o eve_n do_v then_o and_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n and_o good_a to_o make_v one_o wise_a be_v it_o not_o so_o now_o with_o lustful_a man_n and_o woman_n do_v not_o their_o fancy_n to_o one_o another_o seem_v pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n and_o act_n together_o have_v be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o taste_n this_o make_v many_o to_o know_v good_a and_o evil_n by_o woeful_a experience_n for_o this_o sweetness_n of_o sin_n be_v but_o for_o a_o season_n for_o i_o have_v know_v many_o in_o my_o day_n that_o
