Eternity in the presence of his eternal spiritual person I declare from the Lord Jesus that God the Creator hath made that creation in the heavens above as visible to be seen as this creation is seen in this earth beneath Again I declare from the holy Spirit that the glorious person of the onely wise God and eternal Father the Lord Jesus is as visibly seen of the creatures where his person is resident as a man is visibly seen of the creatures in this earth beneath where his person resides as for this creation in the heavens above it is to set forth the glory of his immortal person that all the creatures in his presence visibly beholding the glorious person of their Creator both holy Angels and other creatures according to their wisdom or understanding might give him the glory of their eternal happinesse of this their creation and on the contrary if the Creator were not visibly seen by the eyes of his creatures then no creatures could possibly know him to return any praise or glory unto him at all for the happiness of their condition Therefore it is a cursed lying imagination for any man to think that the glorious person of God is not as visibly seen of his creatures in the heavens above as the person of man who is the image of God is visibly seen of the creatures in this earth beneath Again you must not think after a fleshly manner that the creatures above the starrs are male and female for natural generation as they are in this creation beneath the starrs for a woman had never been made but for generation that the immortal God might have a womans womb in this world to cloath himself with flesh and that the Reprobate Angel which is the Devil might have the womb of a woman to cloath himself with flesh also to bring forth Gods glorious design between the seed of the Woman and the seed of the Serpent wherefore I declare from the holy Spirit that the holy Angels and all other Creatures that are in the presence of God in the Creation beyond the stars are all spiritual male creatures never encreasing in their numbers not being fleshly desiring generation but their spirits or natures instead of fleshly pleasures in generation are full of spiritual and heavenly joyes of a more transcendent glorious content within themselves and visible glorious contents in their beholding of the glorious face of God and the faces of one another and the glory of that place they enjoy the which exceeding glory shineth forth through that heavenly Kingdom from the bright burning glorious person of God the Creator the Lord Jesus Christ who alone hath all the glory of his Creation in the Heavens above wherein dwelleth nothing but righteousnesse in Glory Again I declare from the Lord Jesus that no man can understand or know any thing of these things that are invisible unto our natural eyes but by the Spirit of Revelation therefore it is written that faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen again it is written through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear so that in the Letter of the Scripture it is clear to you that see by the eye of Faith that God hath made or framed two Worlds or two Creations which is all one for you know to frame a thing or to make a thing is all one Again unto you it is clear there are spiritual visible things in that world above or beyond the stars as well as here are natural visible things in this world beneath the stars because you may understand that this world and the things that are visible therein were made or created out of that world which is invisible to us who are in mortality but visible to those who are above in glory so that now you that are appointed to enter with spiritual bodies into that glorious Creation or world beyond the stars may understand a little clearer of your inheritance in that Kingdome made without hands or City eternal in the Heavens where you shall visibly see with your eyes the face of God Men Angels and all Creatures in that creation above the stars as you see the face of man and all other creatures in this creation beneath the stars with glorious new Songs of spiritual and heavenly praises unto a glorious God to all eternity This proves the truth of these Scriptures where it is written My kingdom is not of this world and of this saying Lord remember me when thou comest into thy Kingdom and of that saying In my Fathers House or Kingdom are many mansions and of that saying For thine is the Kingdom the power and the glory for ever and of that saying The Kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ this world was the Heavens above and of that saying neverthelesse we look for a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein dwelleth righteousnesse and of that saying He hath made us Kings and Priests unto God and we shall reign with him upon the Earth This is that glorious new Heaven and new Earth in the presence of God above or beyond the stars but blind carnal hypocrites imagine that Gods reigning with his Elect ones will be upon this bloody Earth because they have no spiritual Eyes to see or know that new Heaven or new Earth above or beyond the stars where nothing but pure righteousness reigneth in glory for everlasting or world without end Amen 5. AGain concerning that Serpent before-said so called of the Lord for his subtilty I declare by Revelation from the holy Spirit that God created his spiritual person more glorious then the persons of all the holy Angels that are in the presence of God in Heaven because this mighty Angel by the wisdom and secret Counsel of God was to be as a God to bring forth his seed or generaration of wise and prudent subtile Serpent men and women to oppose the Creator and his innocent seed or generation of simple plain-hearted men and women that are of the spirit of faith and pure love with all other heavenly vertues for the nature or Spirit of God is faith and love and all other divine vertues infinitely living in his glorious Person the which faith is all power of righteous actings naturally flowing from his pure spirit as from a pure overflowing fountain of living waters but on the contrary the nature or spirit of this God-like Angel and all the rest of the holy Angels in their Creation were pure reason from whence naturally flows no good at all but what comes into them continually by Revelation from that pure spirit of Faith in the person of God their Creator and this is that spiritual Manna that keeps the holy Angels natures or spirits pure in the presence of God for it is the nature of that pure reason
the Revelation of the everlasting Gospel of that Son within her which was of a more transcendent glory than that of the Law and that Crown of twelve Stars upon her head that was the twelve Apostles that sprang from her head Jesus to preach the everlasting Gospel of Truth and Peace unto his Elect thus that saying that every seed shall have his own body is a little more clear unto you that have faith in a personal God then it was before you may understand that God the Father was a spiritual man from eternity and that in time his righteous spiritual body brought forth a righteous natural body that the Father to shew forth his infinite love and humility and to bring forth a new transcendent glory to himself might become a son yea and a servant unto his creatures in the very condition of a creature for a season that he might exalt his elect creatures into the same condition of the Creator in his glory in the highest Heavens to all eternity when the curtains of this lower Heavens are drawn and vanisht like smoak never more to be time being past Again it is written he that hath seēn me hath seen the Father and the Father liveth in me and I live in him and I and the Father are one the only meaning or mind of the Lord Jesus in those words is this his Spirit living within his body that was the Father and his visible body that was the Son both God and man in one person and so but one personal God the man Christ Jesus he perfectly knowing himself to be the only God he said unto the Jews except ye eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you again he said except ye believe that I am he ye shall dye in your sins his very mind in those words was this except they did believe that that very person of his of flesh blood and bone that spake unto them was the only God and eternal Father and alone Saviour of all that were to be saved and that there was no salvation to mankind but thus spiritually eating of his flesh and drinking of his blood except they did thus own his person to be their Lord and only Saviour they must all die in their sins and perish to all eternity because there is nothing but the precious blood of a God can possibly clense the spirit of man from the power of sin therefore if the very Godhead had not died that is if the very soul of Christ which is the eternal Father had not died in the body or with the body to quiet or satisfie the cry of the guilt of sin in mens spirits all men would have perisht to eternity because the spirit of unclean reason the Devil in man whose nature is all sin did reign in the very bodies of the Elect as their Lord and King and they were free from the power of righteousnesse until the precious blood of a God by the Holy Spirit of Faith was sprinkled in their consciences that by the pure life or spiritual love to God and man they might break the Serpents head of sin of reigning any longer in them but on the contrary they that have no faith given them in the precious blood of God to clense their spirits from the power of that Devil sin in them their sins will be their Lord and King and they must perish together eternally as beforesaid Again by this time it is very clear to you that have the faith of Jesus that the Serpent Angel beforesaid was a spiritual body or person in the form of a man before he entred into the womb of Eve by that seed or son of his called Cain Thus every seed or spirit by the decree of God brings forth his own body according to its nature or kind God the Father being a spiritual man from all eternity in time begot and brought forth himself a manchild in mortality of all pure righteousnesse therefore he was called the expresse Image of the Father because he was indeed the very Father and that made him say be thought it no robbery to be equal with God and that was the cause that made him say that all power was given unto him both in heaven and in earth because he knew perfectly that there was no other God but himself to possesse all power and this made the Prophet Isaiah to attribute the chief titles of the everlasting Father unto the Son that was to be made of a Woman or of a Virgin because the Prophet knew very well that the Father and the Son was but one unseparable person in immortal glory from all eternity and so he knew they were to become in time one unseparable Person of all purity in mortality and I with him know from the same spirits that revealed it to the Prophet long before God became flesh that that pure mortality both spirit and body that died together they did both immediately quicken together a new life in death or out of death and they unseparably both Father and Son in one person did ascend together into that immortal glory that they possesse together from all Eternity and so they now enjoy it again in one transcendent glorious person both God and man to all Eternity This proves the truth of these sayings Glorifie me with the same glory I had with thee before the world was and of that saying My glory I will not give to another and of that saying Before Abraham was I am according to that saying of God to Moses when he bade Moses tell Pharaoh that I am sent him and of that saying He thought it no robbery to be equal with God and of that saying I am the living bread which came down from heaven if any man eat of this bread he shall live for ever and of that saying This is the bread which cometh down from heaven that a man may eat thereof and not die and of that saying For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world and of that saying I am that bread of life Again Not that any man hath seen the Father save he which is of God he hath seen the Father and of that saying What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before and of that full saying that proves Jesus to be the Father He was in the world and the world was made by him and the world knew him not and of that saying In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God the same was in the beginning with God all things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made Whosoever is not stark blind by this Scripture must needs understand that there is no Creator nor Father but the man Jesus only the Lord of life and glorie and where it is said through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the
word of God so that the things that are visible or seen were not made of things that do appear and of that saying I am Alpha and Omega I am the first and the last and behold I create all things new and of that saying I am he that was dead and an alive and behold I live for evermore This was the man Jesus that sate upon the Throne of the Father with many other Scriptures too tedious to relate that prove clearly to all that are appointed to eternal glorie that the Lord Jesus Christ that died without the gates of Jerusalem is the only God and everlasting Father and alone Creator of all things that were made both in heaven and in earth Therefore I declare from the Holie Spirit of the Lord Jesus that sent us that whosoever prayes in his spirit or tongue unto any other God or Spirit but unto my God the man Jesus that sent me he prayes unto a Devil of his own imagination instead of a God for that man Jesus then to come was Davids only God and Saviour therefore he said The Lord said unto my Lord sit thou on my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool And this Jesus was all the true Prophets God in the time of the Law and this Jesus was the holy Apostles God and all the Christians God in the time of the Apostles Commission or Dispensation or Administration that lasted about three hundred years and this glorious man Jesus is my God alone and the God of all spiritual Christians in this last age until he comes in his glorie VIII AGain but some may say if Jesus Christ be the only God and eternal Father who was that Father that he spake so much of when he was in mortalitie where he said My God my God why hast thou forsaken me and Father into thy hands I commend my spirit and such like To this I answer by Revelation from the Holy Spirit that Eliah spoken of in the Law that was taken up bodily by a VVhirlwind into Heaven where the likenesse of a Chariot and Horses of fire appeared to Elisha at his departure I say from the Lord that the body or person of that Eliah was taken up and glorified in the Heavens by the Creator for that very purpose that he might represent the person of God the Father for that time or season whilst God the Father went that journey in flesh as aforesaid Again it is written he shall give his Angels charge over thee those Angels were Moses and Eliah who being both glorified they did both represent the Person of the Father in the Heavens above the Stars as they did represent the Person of the Son and of the Father when they were in earth beneath the Stars when Moses was upon this earth he represented the Person of God the Son that Lamb Jesus that was then to come in flesh in these things first Moses was called the Meekest man upon the face of the earth Again he was a great Type of Christ in this in offering up himself to be blotted out of the Book of Life for the salvation of Israel as the Lord Jesus became a Curse for his elect Israel likewise Moses was a great sufferer at the hands of Israel with much patience as the Lord Jesus suffered with all patience at the hands of his own People or Nation Again Moses was made an Angel of the Covenant of the Law unto all Israel as the Lord Jesus was made or became an Angel of the Covenant of Grace or the Gospel unto all the elect Israel so that whosoever despised the Law of Moses was to dye a natural death without mercy as a Tye of the eternal death of all those that despise the Grace or Gospel of Jesus and in this he was a great Type of the Lord Jesus when he said God should raise up a Prophet unto you like unto me him shall you hear much more might be spoken of Moses representing of the Person of God the son but I suppose it is sufficient for any moderate man Again when Elias was in this World he did represent the Person of God the Father in these things first in a God-like manner by commanding fire to come down from Heaven to destroy his enemies and it was so again by his commanding like unto a God all the Priests of Baal that were the National false Priests to be put to death for drawing the hearts of Israel from worshipping of the true God and that was a Type of the eternal perishing of all the National Priests of Baal in the World at this time who are Ministers of the letter only but call themselves Ministers of the Spirit and yet the Lord Jesus sent them not These are those croaking Frogs that keep the people in darknesse unto whom the people give their silver for nought Again Elias by his asking of Elisha in a God-like manner what he should do for him before he was taken up from him with his granting of Elisha a double portion of his Spirit if Elisha saw his departure from him Again Eliah spake in the Authority of the Father when he told King Ahab to his face that it was he and his Fathers house that were the troublers of Israel by their departing from the living God with more such like actings of his after a God-like manner shewing clearly his representing the person of God the Father when he was upon this earth which was but a Type of his representing the person of God the Father in the Heavens afterwards but some may say it seems very strange the Lord having so many glorious Angels in his presence that he should passe them by and take up a mortal man or a sinperson of God the Father as beforesaid To this I answer from the Holy Spirit all the Counsels of my God the man Jesus are quite contrary to mans unclean reason yea and contrary to the pure reason of the holy Angels also that God alone may have all the glory of the revelation of his unsearchable Counsels of wisdom from his Elect men and Angels Again I declare by Revelation from the Holy Spirit that the man Adam in his Creation was of the very nature of spirit of Faith with all divine vertues of pure love patience meeknesse and such like spiritual vertues in his spirit or person which were the very same divine vertues that lived in the spirit or person of God his Creator only in the person of God every spiritual vertue in him was infinite above all measure but in the person of the man Adam although they were the very same heavenly vertues yet in him they were in measure thus man in his Spirit was created like unto the Creator of the very same Divine Nature only they differed in this for the body or person of God was all spiritual or heavenly not subject to mortality but the body or person of the man Adam was natural or earthly subject to mortality at the
the glory of the Father again Elias then as a glorified creature did return all praise and glory unto the Lord Jesus his Creator so that now it is the Lord Jesus alone by his holy Spirit that revealeth all spiritual and heavenly wisdom to elect men and Angels Elias having now with exceeding joy surrendred up his spiritual and glorious stewardship of representing the person of God the Father unto the right owner and sole Heir of Heaven and Earth and all therein is the Lord Jesus Christ the eternal Father God alone blessed to all eternity I know I have spoken enough to the spiritual Christian of this Truth IX AGain I declare by Revelation from the Holy Spirit that about this fourteen hundred years there hath not been one true Prophet nor Minister sent with a Commission from the Lord Jesus to declare or write or preach the everlasting Gospel of truth and peace unto his Elect Wherefore I declare by vertue of my Commission received by voyce of words from the Lord Jesus that all the Ministry in this world whether Prophetical or Ministerial with all the worship taught by them whether invisible or visible to the people it is all a lye and an abomination unto the Lord both the Ministry and their worship are as acceptable unto my God the man Jesus that sent me as the cutting off of a dogs neck Now unto you that discern truth from the Lord I shall give you light into this truth first I declare that all the true Commissionated Prophets of the Lord in the time of the Law from Moses unto John the Baptist with all the true commissionated Apostles and Ministers of the Lord Iesus in the Gospel they had every one of them in their Commission a power given them to set life and death before men or to declare blessing or cursing unto men which is all one according to their administrations received from the Lord. Again I declare from the Holy Spirit that the Lord Iesus did purpose within himself to send his Messengers three times to the world but three times to this bloody unbelieving world and no more for a witnesse or testimony unto them and to make known unto his Elect that he alone is the only God and everlasting Father wherefore you shall find it written there are three bear record in Heaven the Father the Word and the Spirit and these three are one again it is written there are three bear witnesse in Earth the Water the Blood and the Spirit and these three agree in one Again I declare from the Holy Spirit that those three in earth are the Lords three dispensations given to his Prophets or Messengers beforesaid the Water was the Commissions of Moses and the Prophetâ— under the Law the Blood was the Commission of the Apostles and those Ministers of the Gospel chosen by appointment from the Lord the Spirit which is the third and last Witnesse by Commission from the Lord are those two Witnesses spoken of in the Revelation prophesied of by John the beloved Disciple of Iesus that were to come in the last age whose Message or Ministery or Prophesie is all invisible and spiritual cutting off or condemning all fleshly formal worshipping of an invisible spiritual personal God taken up by vain-glorious men from the Letter of the Scripture which were the Prophets and Apostles Commissions because they want a Commission from the Lord. Again I declare from the Holy Spirit the Lord spake by voyce of word unto his three Commissioners that he hath sent unto the VVorld yea I know God the Father spake unto Moses as a man speaks unto his friend as it is written and I know that God spake unto the Apostles in the person of the Son as it is written because I know the Lord Iesus spake unto me in the person of the Holy Ghost or Spirit as beforesaid only the two former Witnesses saw the person of God in part visibly but I saw the glory of his person invisibly or within me because I am the Messenger of the Holy invisible Spirit Again Concerning those three bearing Record in Heaven beforesaid the meaning of those words are this God from Heaven in a three-fold name or title bear witnesse by Signes and VVonders unto his three Commissioners according to their several administrations given unto them unto Moses and the Prophets this personal God bare witnesse in the name or title of the Father unto the holy Apostles God bare witnesse in the name or title of the Son and unto us his third last Messengers God beareth witnesse in the name or title of the Holy-Spirit because our Commission is all spiritual we have to do only with the invisible spirits of men concerning the eternal estates of men and womens persons in the great and notable eternal Day of the Lords account therefore instead of natural signes upon the bodies or persons of men and women as in the two former Commssions of the Prophets and the Apostles the Lord Iesus beareth witnesse that he hath sent us by spiritual Signs or Wonders upon the spirits of those that are sealed up through our mouthes unto eternal life and unto eternal death as many do bear witnesse whose eyes are opened at this day in England in this great City of London Again This is a true testimony unto you that have faith in the Lord Iesus that he hath sent us by his Holy Spirit because there is none upon this earth that beareth witnesse unto that man Jesus that was crucified at Jerusalem to be the only God and everlasting Father but we only as Moses the Prophets and the Apostles bare witnesse in their times unto this Jesus to be the only God and alone eternal Father but on the contrary there is hardly a Minister in the world that confesseth an invisible God but they preach unto the people either a God of two Persons or a God of three Persons that is a Monster instead of one true personal God or else they teach the People to worship an infinite Spirit that is every where without a Body or Person but he is fain to borrow his creatures bodies to live in that is a God of words only without any form or substance or an infinite nothing that never can be comprehended nor apprehended in the least by any formed creature a cursed lying imaginary God from mans own unclean blind reason which occasioneth all kind of blood and cruelty to be committed in this wicked world between man and man for if men understood indeed that there is but one only wise God and that this God is a distinct body or person then would men understand that all those that are led by the voyce of the Holy Spirit of God the man Jesus to work righteousnesse in their bodies they lived in they only shall appear with bodies of all righteousnesse like unto their God the man Jesus visibly to behold face to face the glorious body of the God of all Righteousnesse for
ever and ever Amen XVI AGain from the holy Spirit I shall shew you the difference between elect men and Angels in glory the Angels natures or spirits being pure Reason they must always be supplyed by Revelation from the spirit of faith in the person of God to keep their spirits in pure obedience unto their Creator but on the contrary the Believers Spirits being of the very same divine nature of God they are but one voice or spirit speaking all pure obedience within themselves unto their Redeemer to whom alone be all Glory and praise from my Spirit with his Elect men and Angels to all eternity FINIS A Letter presented unto Alderman Fouke Lord Mayor of London from the two Witnesses and Prisoners of Jesus Christ in New gate as an eternal witness unto him with a Declaration unto the Recorder Steel and the Lord Chief Justice Rowles with the whole Bench and Jury and in general unto all Civil Magistrates and Juries in the World Iohn Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton the two last Spiritual Witnesses and true Prophets and only Ministers of the everlasting gospel by Commission from the holy Spirit of the true God the Lord Jesus Christ God and man in one Person blessed to all Eternity BY vertue of our Commission received by voyce of words from the glorious mouth of the onely true God upon the Throne of Glory the Lord Iesus Christ we shall make manifest unto men what the foundation is of the power of the Civil Magistrate and that he ought not to meddle with spiritual things which God hath reserved himself not allowing any man to touch them upon pain of eternal death but those onely by him anointed for that purpose First we declare that the Scriptures were given by Inspiration of the Holy Spirit therefore except the Magstrates were inspired with the same Spirit as those that speak the Scriptures they ought not to judge any man by them but ought rather to yield obedience themselves unto Holy Writ or they must perish to eternity Again we declare from the Holy Spirit that since God became flesh no Civil Magistrate hath any Authority from above to bee the Judge of any mans faith because it is a spiritual invisible gift from God that gives a man assurance of everlasting life but the Magistrates Authority is to judge the Civil Lawes of the Land which is grounded onely upon Reason but the things of Eternity are from God who is from Eternity to Eternity therefore Faith is the Evidence of things hoped for and reason is judge of things that are visible As for you that are skilful in the Law of Reason as soon as you hear an Action to be a breach of the Law you understand presently what punishment belongs to the Fact therefore the Apostle saith the Magistrate is the Minister of God for good to them that do well and a terrour to the evil doer Again wee declare from the Lord that no Magistrate by his power from the Law of Reason ought to usurp the Law of Faith into his Authority because the Law of Reason is utterâ—â— ignorant of the Law of Faith the one being carnal and the other being spiritual therefore what Magistrate soever takes upon him to be the judge of us who are the Messengers of Faith in the true God they are enemies to the Lord Jesus Christ and shall surely perish to eternity Again from the Lord Jesus wee forewarn you that are Magistrates before it is too late that you tread not in the Lord Mayors steps presumptuously to take upon you to judge this Commission of the two edged sword of God put into our mouths which if you are left so to do it will cut you in sunder from the presence of our God to all eternity for our God is a consuming fire who did pronounce us cursed to eternity had we not obeyed his voyce therefore we perfectly know who ever is left great or small to speak evil of this Commission which God hath put unto us by calling it blasphemy delusion a devil or lie in so doing they have sinned against the Holy Ghost and must perish soul and body from the presence of our God Elect men and Angels to all eternity for God hath chosen us two onely and hath put the two edged sword of his Spirit into our mouths as beforesaid that whom we are made to pronounce blessed are blessed to eternity and whom we are made to pronounce cursed are cursed to eternity and this power no mortal can take out of our hands neither will out God any more give such power unto men whilst this World endures Therefore you that are Judges of this Earth be wise and learned and meddle with those things which you know in this World onely and call not your God to account at your bar for who ever arraigneth a Prophet at his Judgement Seat it is all one as arraigning his God for a Prophet commeth in the name and power of his God therefore he that despiseth the Prophet despiseth him that sent him Again we declare from the Lord Jesus if any Magistrate pretends to be a Preacher of the Gospel he having no Commission from our God so to do if he preach any more after we forbid him then we have full power to pronounce the sentence of eternal death upon him and it is so unrevocable Again we declare from the Lord Jesus that the cause why so many Magistrates and Ministers must suffer the vengeance of eternal death is because with one consent they fight against the true Messengers of God with the temporal Law invested upon them by men Again woe would have been unto U◠〈◊〉 wee had come in our own name but wee know that God sent us as sure as he sent Moses the Prophets and the Apostles and that great Authority as to be Judges of blasphemy against the Holy Ghost wee onely are invested withal Wherefore you Magistrates that are not yet under this sentence of eternal death from the Lord Jesus our counsel is if you desire blessedness in the life to come that you would not meddle to be the Judges of spiritual things knowing you have no Commission from the Lord remember the counsel of Caiphas the High Priest if it be possible and prevent the Lord Mayors eternal curse SIR THe 15. of September 1653. you may remember by vertue of your Warrant wee were brought before you not being guilty of the breach of any civil Law the man Jesus our onely God elect men and Angels will beare us witness too but we being accused of words only in relation to a Commission received from our God by voice from Heaven it was your pleasure to commit us unto Newgate as the only offenders in this world notwithstanding I gave you a full account of the Lord Jesus speaking unto me by voice of words three morning together commanding me to deliver this his wonderful and strange message unto Magistrates Ministers and people concerning his blessing or
voyce and go where ever I send thee to deliver my message thy body shall be thy hell and thy spirit shall be the devill that shall torment thee to eternity then for a moment I saw this hell within me which caused me to answer the Lord these words saying Lord I will go wherever thou sendest me only be with me These were the Lords words spoken unto me the first morning and my answer unto my God I being as perfectly awaked when he spake unto me the Lord is my witnesse a I was at the writing hereof Again the next morning the Lord spake unto me saying Go thou unto Lodowick Muggleton and with him go unto Thomas Turner and he shall bring you to one John Tane and do thou deliver my message when thou comest there and if Lodowick Muggleton deny to go with thee then do thou from me pronounce him cursed to eternity These words the â—ord spake unto me the second morning and no more The third and last morning the Lord spake unto me these words saying Goe thou unto Lodowick Muggleton and take such a woman along with thee and then go thou unto one John Robins a Prisoner in new Bridewell and do thou deliver my message to him when thou comest there These were the Lords words the third and last morning and all the words in the Commission of the Lord spoken unto me only this message of the Lod extends in general to the whole world because the elect Jewes and Gentiles are mixt in marriages through all parts of this Earth for whose sakes only we are sent But as for those natural unbeleeving Jewes that deny that God is come in flesh those Jews shall never come to the faith of Jesus we are not sent unto these The holy Spirit beareth witnesse in my spirit of the truth of that which I shall write unto you that the first words that the Lord spake into me the words speaking came into my spirit and body with such an exceeding bright burning glory of God like Majesty that I did not well know whether I was a mortal man or an immortal God so glorious are the words of the immortal God that the tongues of Men nor Angels can never expresse it my body also was changed at that time for a season in a most dreadful manner to behold of the which there be many can bear witness at this time Again for your information that are spirituall the Lord opened the understanding of my fellow witnesse and made him obedient with me in the messages of the Lord as Aaronâ— understanding was opened to make him obedient with Moses in the messages of the Lord at that time and the Lord hath given him as glorious testimonies by Revelation from his holy spirit many a time of the full assurance of this Commission to be from the Lord as ever the Lord gave to Aaron to assure him that Moses Commission was from the Lord onely Moses Commission he being the Lords first Commissioner unto men was manifested by natural signes visibâ—y upon the bodies of men and women and on the contrary we being the Lords last Commissioners our Commission is manifested by spiritual signes upon the invisible spirits of men and women because our message is all spiritual concerning men and womens eternal weal or woe in the life to come II. A Gaine That you that are elected unto eternall Glory may understand some thing of John Robins aforesaid I declare from the holy Spirit that this John Robins was that last great Antichrist or man of sin or son of perdition spoken of by Paul the Apostle in the Thessalouians who as it is written opposeth and exalteth himselfe above all that is called God so that he as God sitteth in the Temple of God shewing himselfe that he is God This is he that was to appeare in this last Age a little before the personall visible coming of the Lord Jesus in the Clouds with his ten thousands of Saints in power and great glory to separate between the persons of the true Christians whose weapons are spiritual Faith that worke by love and patience with all other such like heavenly vertues from the persons of all lying Hypocrites who call themselves Christians but they are indeed far worse then Heathens by killing their Neighbours with the sword of steele therefore their damnation will be far greater then the Heathens in the day of the Lords vengeance Againe it would be too tedious to write unot you wherein this John Robins did appear to be the man of sin as before-said so that the Pope is not the man of sin as men blindly imagine for want of the spirit of the Scriptures but on the contrary I declare from the spirit of the Lord Jesus that all men that call themselves Christians and yet make use of the sword of steel in any case whatsoever the Pope and those men are both Christians alike therefore to be an Antichrist or a man of sin to oppose God as before said I declare from the holy Spirit that is when a man doth exalt himself in the place or person of God and doth set up a worship seemingly far more pure then the simple plain worship of God and to manage his design he doth shew many great lying signs and wonders as this John Riobns did to the amazement of many deceived by him It was a spiritual opposing of Jesus which is the only God by shewing of seeming spiritual lying signes and wonders as this John Robins did yea he shewed such signs as the Popes could never shew nor never shall shew wherefore that you that are the elect may no longer remain in the dark concerning the last great spiritual Antichrist I declare from the Lord Jesus that this Jo. Robins did attribute to himself the titles of the only God first he called himself Adam Melchizedeek again he call'd himselfe the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Also he held forth a Trinity of Persons as namely Adam Abel and Cain Again he call'd himself the first Adam saying after he had been five thousand six hundred and odd years in the dust he was risen from the dead to deliver his people then he said that Abel was his Son Jesus the second person of his Trinity then he called Cain the Holy Ghost and this was his third Person of his Trinity This Cain that was the seed of the Serpent or son of the Devil this was his Holy Ghost I could write very much of his Trinity concerning his Wife Eve so called by him and of a Jesus he said should be born of her of his begetting and of a Disciple of his that he called Cain to make up his counterfeit Trinity but that it would hinder things of more value again he declared that he knew all Angels their names and their natures also he said he had a power over all voyces also he said that he knew what the spirits of men spake that were in the dust againe
in the holy Angels continually to desire the knowledge of that spirit of wisdom in the Creator that made them and the overflowings of that new wisdom in the spirit of the Creator by the decree of God it is that spiritual food that keeps the holy Angels pure in their glory or else not one of them could stand upright in the presence of God not one moment but they would all become serpent-Devils and fall down into this earth as that great Angel did presently after the Lord withheld the revelation of his glorious wisdom from him then this Angel for want of his spiritual food of revelation that kept his spirit in obedience to his Creator presently his spirit began proudly to imagine and think high and lofty thoughts concerning his own person and great wisdom of spirit within him wherefore secretly he was lifted up in his spirit to disdain the persons and wisdom of all the holy Angels in comparison of the glory both of his person and wisdom pride being begun in him Lucipher-like he soared higher in his pride for he thought both his person and wisdom to be as glorious if not more glorious then the person and wisdom of the Creator wherefore he being very proud of his own wisdom he imagined that if he had been the Creator he would by a word speaking have created Angels and all other creatures without Earth or Water as God made all things of for his proud spirit thought he could by a word speaking have created all creatures of nothing at all therefore he counted his wisdom rather greater and of a more higher nature to have formed all things for a greater glory to himself if he had been the Creator then the Creators wisdom in the things or Creatures formed by him so imagining his wisdom above the Creators he thought himself more fit to reign over the holy Angels and all other creatures then the Creator he being wise in his own conceit became an absolute Fool for out of nothing comes nothing and out of nothing comes no form or nothing can be formed for to create or make a living form or creature out of senslesse matter or substance of Earth or Water by a word speaking of what nature or form the Creator pleaseth whether contrary to his own nature and form of his own nature and form this is the power and wisdom of my Creator the Lord Jesus for he by his infinite glorious wisdom by a word speaking did create all living creatures in the two Creations or Worlds of unsensible Earth and Water that was without his person from all eternity in his presence with him because his eternal glorious person you know must have a place of residence therefore reason it self cannot deny the eternity of Earth and Waters and the person of the Creator let it imagine never so much nor never so long again as beforesaid when the time of this proud and lofty Angels glory was by the decree of the Creator expired in the Heavens above to the exceeding joy of all the holy Angels unto whom the Lord revealed his exceeding pride the Lord then cast down this Angelical wise Serpent into the Earth therefore it is written wo be to the Inhabiters of the Earth for the Devil is come down amongst you this Angel that was cast into the Earth is that Devil beforesaid and his nature or spirit of pride and envy and all other wickednesse being changed his names or titles are changed according to the uncleannesse of his nature and now instead of the name of an Angel of light he is called an Angel of darknesse as in Jude yea he is called a Serpent a Dragon a Devil Satan or an unclean spirit or that wicked one suitable to his cursed nature but the Lord changed not the form or person of this Reprobate lost Angel at all but his names or titles only as beforesaid according to his nature Again I declare by Revelation from the Holy Spirit that that Serpent spoken of in the Scripture that tempted the Virgin Wife Eve he was a spiritual body in the form of his person like unto a man yea I say from the Lord that this Angel-Serpent was more amiable or glorious in the form of his person to the outward appearance of Eves eyes then the Person of the man Adam was wherefore by the prerogative power and secret wisdom and Counsel of God to bring forth his glorious design it was the outward comlinesse of the Serpents person and his seeming wise and glorious God-like counsel by the decree of God became a snare to deceive and overcome the innocent Virgin VVife Eve as many a poor innocent Virgin in these dayes are deceived and overcome by the outwaâ—d comlinesse of mens persons through their Serpent-counsels and cursed temptations wherefore it is written the woman was deceived and not the man Again I declare by Revelation from the holy Spirit that when this Angel-Serpent by hiâ— seeming wise God-like Counsel had overcome innocent Eve as before-said the very person of this spiritual Serpent Reprobate Angel entred into the body or womb of innocent l ve and there he dyed or was changed from his spirituality and immediately he quickned in her pure undefiled seed or nature all serpentine lust of all natural uncleannesse wherefore she being now naked from her former pure created Virginity presently she iâ— full of natural lust after her innocent Husband that had no desire to a woman at all therefore it is written and she gave also unto her husband with her and he did eat then were they both naked from that pure spiritual life of their virgin creation of God-lâ—ke content within their own spirits and in the room thereof they are both full of all natural lusts whatsoever they being both defiled with the spirit of the Serpent-Angel of unclean reason and wicked imagination and this was that cursed effect of their becoming as Gods knowing both good an evil until they were both born again by the spirit of Faith to the full assurance of a more glorious Inheritance then that which was lost through the eternal love of God to his lost Image Again I declare from the Lord Jesus that that Cain that was the first born of Eve he was the very seed or spirit of that reprobate Serpent angel in the body of Eve and the first born child or son of the Devil and so he became and none but he alone that Belzebub the Prince of Devils and the only father of all those Angels of darknesse spoken of in the Epistle of Jude that are kept or reserved in chains of darknesse of unbelief unto the Judgment of the Great Day Therefore where it is written of the warfare between Michael and his Angels and the Dragon and his Angels that Michael is the Spirit of the Lord Jesus in his Angelical believers whose spiritual weapons are faith and love and patience and such like unto the death because they see a crown of Life in
pleasure of the Creator for if the body or person of the man Adam had been spiritual in his creation as his spirit was then there would have been no difference between the person of the Creator and the person of the creature Thus the man Adam was made like unto God a pure natural person of all righteousnesse in mortality like unto the spiritual person person of God which is all righteousnesse in glory Again it is written the first Adam of the Earth earthly the second Adam the Lord from Heaven heavenly Thus you that see by that single Eye of Faith you may know that God became flesh or a man as well as Adam who was called the Image of God because God was a spiritual man from Eternity as abundantly beforesaid Now you must understand the reason why Jesus the only God was called the second Adam was this because the body or person of the Lord Jesus was a pure natural body of all righteousnesse in mortality just like unto the body or person of the first Adam before his fall only Christ the second Adam had the spirit of Faith in him above measure and the first Adam had the spirit of Faith in him by measure as beforesaid again the second Adam differed from the first Adam in this he being made a man of sorrows but the first Adam knew no sorrows before his fall and why did he become a man of sorrows it was to redeem the Elect seed of the Spirit of Faith overcome in his image the first Adam by the Reprobate Angel-Serpent as beforesaid Again as for the natures or spirits of the holy Angels in their Creation they were pure Reason quite contrary to the nature or spirit of Faith in God their Creator only in their bodies or persons they were spiritual or swift of motion like unto the spiritual person of God their Creator but if the nature or spirit of the holy Angels had been of of the spirit of pure Faith as they were of pure Reason then there would have been no difference between the person of God their Creator and the persons of the holy Angels in their Creation who are but creatures as well as men wherefore not the holy Angels for they are not of the nature of God as it is written he took not upon him the nature of Angels but the seed of Abraham but Elias as beforesaid by the secret wisdom and counsel and love of God unto man above Angels was exalted upon the throne of glory for a moment to represent the person of God the Father and he was made the protector of my God when God became a child and it was Elias by vertue of his Commission as a faithful spiritual Steward upon the throne of glory that filled the Lord Jesus with those great Revelations of his former glory that he possest in the Heavens when he was the immortal Father and it was Elias that spake those words from heaven saying this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased hear him again when Christ was transfigured upon the Mount that his garment glittered with the glory of his transfiguration it was the visible glorious appearance of the persons of Moses and Elias talking with him that were the instrumental Commissioners of that visible glory of the Lord Jesus unto his Disciples who said Master it is good for us to be here for that glory was so great that they would have been building of Tabernacles for a continuance in it Again I declare from the Lord that Elias by vertue of his Commission did fill Elect men and Angels also with Revelation to keep them in obedience until the Lord Jesus was upon the Throne of his glory again so that when the Lord Jesus who was an absolute creature cryed in his agony unto his Father when he prayed unto his Father that that Cup might passe from him if it were possible it being a dreadful Cup for his innocent flesh and blood to drink he being as sensible of pain in his body as we are in our bodies and when he cryed out saying my God my God why hast thou forsaken me and Father into thy hands I commend my spirit I say again from the Lord that Elias by Commission from this man Jesus was that Father that he thus cryed unto in his mortality Elias being then in glory and the chief ground of all those actions and sufferings and cryings out of the Lord Jesus in the condition of a creature unto a Father or a Creator was to fulfil the Scriptures foretold by his Prophets in the time of the Law therefore he said Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass away again but you may say unto me did God the third day rise from the dead by his own power or by the power of his Deputy Elias to which I answer he by his own decree and spiritual compact with Elias and by that spirit of Faith in his innocent body the which Faith died in his pure body and quickned immediately and brought forth at the appointed time that natural innocent body out of the grave a pure spiritual body which naturally at the time appointed ascended into glory for it was impossible for God by death to be held in the grave because his person being pure his pure spirit and death could not remain together because there was no sympathy or agreement or union between them yea they were so contrary it was impossible for them to be together except one of them were absolutely extinguished wherefore death being too weak the Lord Jesus who is the only God of all created life brake through death and hell and the grave and through all the sins of his Elect by the shedding of his most precious blood and so entred into his eternal glory that all those that have Faith in his glorious person may be delivered at the appointed time from sin hell death and the grave and enter into eternal glory with him when he comes in the clouds of Heaven Again the reason why mens bodies in death or after death do rot or stink in the grave and come to dust is because there was sin in their bodies whilst they lived the which sin and death had a sympathy and as it were a sweet communion together whereby death had full power as Lord and King to keep the spirits and bodies in the dust until the time appointed of the Lord of life but on the contrary if men had no sin in their natures or bodies they might life and die and naturally rise again by their own power in their own time as the Lord of life did whose body was too pure to see corruption Thus unto you that have Faith in the Lord Jesus it is not strange that Elias should represent the person of God the Father until the Lord Jesus ascended into the right hand of all power and glory of his Father Elias again then when Jesus was set down in the Throne of
