in_o the_o world_n and_o be_v not_o he_o receive_v up_o into_o glory_n so_o that_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n become_v flesh_n and_o god_n manifest_v in_o flesh_n 7._o also_o be_v not_o this_o

see_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n be_v dead_a and_o be_v not_o the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n god_n and_o you_o see_v by_o the_o scripture_n that_o the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n be_v dead_a and_o be_v there_o any_o alpha_n and_o omega_n that_o die_v but_o jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v there_o any_o alpha_n and_o omega_n that_o quicken_v out_o of_o death_n to_o life_n again_o but_o christ_n therefore_o he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o quicken_a spirit_n 9_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n become_v flesh_n and_o manifest_v in_o flesh_n and_o he_o it_o be_v that_o dwell_v among_o man_n and_o he_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o a_o man_n in_o all_o thing_n like_v unto_o man_n sin_n except_v 10._o so_o that_o god_n be_v but_o one_o person_n in_o form_n like_o a_o man_n and_o not_o three_o person_n as_o man_n do_v vain_o imagine_v 11._o but_o when_o he_o hear_v these_o say_n of_o i_o he_o reply_v nothing_o against_o it_o but_o seem_v to_o faun_n upon_o i_o and_o speak_v soft_o unto_o i_o tempt_v i_o and_o ask_v i_o secret_o what_o i_o think_v of_o this_o present_a power_n that_o he_o may_v have_v have_v some_o what_o to_o accuse_v i_o of_o

at_o all_o 13._o so_o when_o the_o priest_n see_v he_o can_v get_v nothing_o out_o of_o i_o concern_v the_o government_n of_o the_o nation_n than_o he_o apply_v to_o the_o thing_n before_o mention_v

the_o understanding_n of_o all_o as_o may_v appear_v as_o first_o of_o god_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o his_o saint_n 2._o for_o if_o god_n do_v take_v notice_n of_o all_o action_n there_o will_v be_v a_o present_a ephect_n of_o blessing_n and_o curse_v as_o in_o time_n past_a neither_o can_v either_o saint_n or_o devil_n prove_v he_o do_v take_v any_o notice_n of_o he_o at_o all_o but_o as_o he_o do_v vain_o imagine_v because_o his_o thought_n do_v sometime_o accuse_v he_o when_o he_o do_v evil_a and_o excuse_v he_o when_o he_o do_v well_o 3._o but_o thus_o far_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v take_v notice_n and_o mind_n particular_a saint_n here_o on_o earth_n that_o be_v when_o god_n have_v any_o work_n to_o do_v for_o a_o particular_a saint_n or_o any_o particular_a devil_n than_o god_n take_v particular_a notice_n of_o saint_n or_o devil_n if_o it_o be_v one_o or_o more_o according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o his_o will._n 4._o but_o no_o man_n now_o upon_o earth_n can_v true_o say_v that_o god_n have_v mind_v or_o take_v notice_n of_o he_o but_o myself_o only_o also_o i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o god_n do_v take_v notice_n and_o mind_n every_o particular_a saint_n and_o every_o particular_a devil_n in_o the_o original_a as_o will_v appear_v thus_o 5._o god_n have_v write_v the_o law_n in_o every_o man_n heart_n both_o saint_n and_o devil_n and_o this_o

do_v acquit_v and_o where_o this_o law_n do_v condemn_v god_n condemn_v yet_o god_n person_n mind_v it_o not_o but_o leave_v the_o whole_a power_n to_o the_o law_n to_o justify_v or_o condemn_v only_a god_n power_n be_v to_o be_v see_v and_o to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o when_o he_o shall_v raise_v the_o man_n again_o and_o that_o law_n in_o his_o heart_n shall_v quicken_v again_o by_o god_n power_n and_o shall_v stand_v as_o god_n to_o judge_v to_o justify_v or_o condemn_v the_o conscience_n of_o every_o man._n 6._o so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o true_a faith_n in_o his_o heart_n to_o justify_v his_o person_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n while_o on_o earth_n to_o free_v he_o from_o that_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n then_o in_o the_o resurrection_n that_o law_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n shall_v quicken_v again_o and_o shall_v stand_v as_o god_n and_o judge_n to_o condemn_v he_o to_o eternity_n 7._o therefore_o i_o may_v say_v unto_o you_o rebel_n as_o god_n do_v unto_o cain_n if_o thou_o do_v well_o shall_v not_o thou_o be_v reward_v and_o if_o thou_o do_v evil_a sin_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n of_o thy_o conscience_n for_o the_o law_n say_v in_o his_o heart_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o shall_v not_o your_o act_n of_o rebellion_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n of_o your_o conscience_n as_o sure_a as_o cain_n murder_n lie_v at_o the_o door_n of_o his_o conscience_n 8._o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o paul_n do_v thank_v god_n that_o he_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o law_n of_o sin_n and_o death_n and_o so_o do_v every_o man_n that_o be_v deliver_v from_o that_o law_n write_v in_o his_o heart_n and_o john_n say_v if_o thy_o heart_n condemn_v thou_o not_o than_o have_v thou_o confidence_n to_o the_o throne_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o thy_o heart_n condemn_v thou_o god_n be_v great_a than_o thy_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v if_o the_o law_n write_v in_o a_o man_n heart_n do_v condemn_v a_o

that_o man_n heart_n will_v condemn_v he_o also_o 11._o for_o it_o be_v a_o true_a prophet_n or_o true_a minister_n that_o make_v a_o saint_n one_o or_o more_o for_o a_o saint_n can_v make_v a_o

have_v leave_v these_o five_o man_n upon_o record_n that_o the_o age_n to_o come_v may_v see_v the_o wickedness_n of_o they_o and_o take_v heed_n how_o they_o persecute_v innocent_a man_n that_o do_v

under_o the_o same_o condemnation_n as_o these_o man_n be_v under_o 30._o this_o i_o have_v leave_v upon_o record_n for_o the_o age_n to_o come_v after_o my_o death_n some_o of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a suffering_n which_o i_o have_v pass_v through_o in_o the_o year_n 1676._o chap._n vi_o of_o the_o prophet_n deliverance_n out_o of_o prison_n of_o the_o price_n and_o value_n that_o be_v make_v of_o he_o the_o reward_n to_o the_o two_o seed_n at_o the_o last_o day_n 1._o now_o have_v give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o suffering_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o those_o trouble_n 2._o while_o i_o be_v in_o the_o press-yard_n prisoner_n the_o sheriff_n do_v send_v several_a time_n by_o the_o goal_n keeper_n to_o see_v what_o i_o will_v do_v about_o the_o fine_a but_o they_o be_v at_o no_o certainty_n what_o they_o require_v at_o last_o the_o clerk_n of_o newgate_n say_v they_o will_v take_v the_o 5_o part_n which_o be_v one_o hundred_o pound_n 3._o i_o be_v unwilling_a to_o give_v so_o much_o i_o let_v it_o alone_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o year_n long_o for_o some_o reason_n i_o have_v in_o myself_o after_o that_o time_n i_o send_v a_o letter_n to_o treat_v with_o they_o about_o the_o fine_a the_o sheriff_n name_n be_v one_o sr._n john_n peak_n sheriff_n of_o london_n the_o other_o be_v sr._n thomas_n stamp_n sheriff_n of_o middlesex_n 4._o but_o they_o be_v very_o high_a and_o will_v not_o abate_v one_o shilling_n of_o one_o hundred_o pound_n and_o the_o cause_n why_o be_v because_o some_o of_o the_o goal_n keeper_n have_v proffer_v one_o hundred_o pound_n for_o i_o to_o keep_v a_o prisoner_n for_o ever_o or_o else_o to_o have_v a_o large_a sum_n of_o money_n for_o my_o ransom_n 5._o i_o perceive_v have_v not_o the_o shreiff_n honour_v lie_v at_o the_o stake_n i_o have_v be_v buy_v and_o sell_v as_o joseph_n be_v in_o egypt_n for_o a_o prisoner_n during_o life_n or_o till_o such_o ransom_n be_v pay_v it_o will_v have_v be_v a_o great_a disparragment_n to_o the_o sheriff_n if_o they_o have_v sell_v i_o such_o as_o be_v never_o do_v in_o england_n before_o 6._o but_o they_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o credit_n and_o somewhat_o to_o conscience_n they_o will_v not_o do_v such_o wickedness_n but_o however_o it_o cause_v they_o to_o abate_v nothing_o of_o one_o hundred_o pound_n neither_o will_v they_o give_v any_o time_n but_o pay_v down_o present_o 7._o so_o we_o borrow_v a_o hundred_o pound_v the_o next_o day_n and_o give_v to_o they_o upon_o the_o 19_o day_n of_o july_n 1677_o and_o the_o same_o day_n at_o night_n i_o be_v release_v out_o of_o prison_n and_o many_o of_o the_o believer_n do_v keep_v that_o day_n as_o a_o feast_n day_n every_o year_n in_o remembrance_n of_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o prison_n 8._o for_o i_o be_v prize_v at_o a_o goodly_a price_n far_o high_a than_o the_o lord_n of_o life_n when_o he_o be_v on_o earth_n he_o be_v value_v at_o but_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v thirty_o pound_n but_o they_o value_v i_o at_o a_o hundred_o piece_n of_o silver_n for_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n they_o value_v christ_n at_o must_v be_v so_o much_o else_o it_o will_v not_o have_v buy_v the_o potter_n field_n 9_o now_o the_o cause_n why_o they_o value_v i_o at_o such_o a_o high_a price_n above_o my_o lord_n and_o master_n it_o be_v because_o they_o know_v i_o have_v some_o interest_n in_o this_o world_n and_o many_o follower_n of_o i_o therefore_o they_o value_v i_o at_o such_o a_o high_a price_n as_o 100_o piece_n of_o silver_n 10._o and_o as_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n therefore_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n to_o be_v expend_v upon_o any_o holy_a use_n or_o to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a and_o the_o like_a but_o to_o buy_v a_o potter_n field_n to_o bury_v the_o stink_v carcase_n of_o stranger_n thief_n and_z murderers_z insomuch_o that_o the_o thirty_o piece_n of_o silver_n be_v bestow_v on_o the_o base_a way_n suitable_a to_o the_o purchase_n be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n 11._o so_o likewise_o the_o hundred_o piece_n of_o silver_n they_o value_v i_o at_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n also_o though_o not_o unto_o death_n as_o our_o lord_n be_v a_o very_a goodly_a price_n 12._o and_o this_o money_n will_v not_o be_v put_v into_o the_o treasury_n to_o repair_v church_n or_o relieve_v the_o poor_a but_o will_v be_v spend_v base_o in_o lust_n and_o drunkenness_n and_o in_o volumptiousness_n suitable_a to_o the_o purchase_n of_o it_o be_v the_o price_n of_o innocent_a blood_n 13._o thus_o i_o have_v leave_v upon_o record_n the_o substance_n of_o the_o whole_a matter_n as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v both_o of_o my_o suffering_n and_o my_o deliverance_n out_o of_o all_o those_o trouble_n that_o have_v happen_v upon_o i_o in_o the_o year_n 1675_o and_o in_o the_o year_n 1676_o and_o 1677_o and_o in_o the_o year_n of_o my_o life_n 67._o 14._o this_o be_v the_o 5_o part_n of_o the_o act_n of_o john_n reeve_n and_o lodowich_n muggleton_n the_o two_o last_o

15._o and_o wonderful_a revelation_n and_o passage_n and_o act_n that_o be_v write_v in_o these_o five_o part_n that_o i_o may_v leave_v it_o as_o a_o legacy_n for_o the_o age_n to_o come_v upon_o

for_o there_o be_v no_o time_n to_o the_o dead_a time_n belong_v to_o the_o live_n 18._o and_o this_o i_o know_v that_o as_o the_o 12_o apostle_n in_o the_o resurrection_n shall_v sit_v upon_o
