A62893	The Muggletonians principles prevailing being an answer in full to a scandalous and malicious pamphlet, intituled A true representation of the absurd and mischevious principles of the sect called Muggletonians : herein the aforesaid principles are vindicated, and proved to be infallibly true : and the author of that libel, his scandalous title and subject proved as false to truth, as light is to darkness, and that he knows no more what the true God is, nor what the right devil is, nor any true principle or foundation of faith, for all his great learning he so much bosts of, then those Jews that put the Lord of life to death, for learned and taught reason is but natural, and so falls short of the glory of God, as will appear in the following discourse / by T.T.	Tomkinson, Thomas, 1631-1710?	1695 (1695)	Wing T1840; ESTC R18719	47,859	79

evident_a that_o you_o make_v christ_n no_o more_o than_o a_o titular_a god_n the_o very_a same_o with_o john_n biddle_n that_o you_o so_o much_o disow_v in_o your_o pamphlet_n but_o i_o can_v see_v any_o great_a difference_n between_o you_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o be_v as_o much_o out_o of_o the_o way_n of_o truth_n as_o he_o for_o say_v john_n bidle_n christ_n be_v our_o lord_n and_o god_n but_o how_o why_o say_v he_o not_o real_o but_o apelitive_a as_o magistrate_n be_v call_v god_n and_o so_o he_o make_v he_o god_n by_o deputation_n as_o to_o title_n be_v god_n not_o in_o nature_n but_o in_o name_n and_o so_o be_v subordinate_a to_o god_n now_o do_v not_o you_o do_v so_o too_o for_o you_o make_v the_o son_n but_o to_o be_v beget_v and_o if_o you_o will_v make_v he_o god_n yet_o he_o must_v be_v divide_v from_o the_o father_n and_o holyghost_n now_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o father_n distinct_a from_o that_o bless_a body_n of_o christ_n it_o must_v then_o be_v as_o john_n bidle_n say_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o john_n bidle_n as_o well_o as_o arius_n and_o s●sinus_n make_v he_o but_o man_n because_o they_o will_v have_v but_o one_o single_a god_n but_o you_o if_o you_o make_v he_o god_n yet_o you_o will_v divide_v he_o from_o the_o father_n and_o from_o the_o holyghost_n and_o so_o at_o the_o best_a you_o make_v he_o but_o a_o three_o part_n god_n and_o whereas_o you_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o condemn_v sabulus_n and_o noetus_n for_o worship_v one_o personal_a god_n under_o the_o name_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holyghost_n condemn_v and_o judge_v they_o for_o broacher_n of_o heresy_n how_o will_v you_o free_v yourselves_o from_o this_o crime_n as_o also_o those_o counsel_n of_o arian_n and_o trenitarians_n as_o curse_v they_o and_o their_o principle_n together_o with_o those_o counsel_n and_o sinod_n on_o both_o side_n judge_v and_o condemn_v each_o other_o with_o deadly_a malice_n as_o your_o church_n history_n do_v show_v what_o be_v those_o the_o church_n of_o god_n no._n but_o when_o god_n gather_v up_o his_o jewel_n many_o of_o those_o that_o have_v be_v judge_v heretic_n will_v rise_v saint_n 24.14_o
