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 deceive_v eve_n and_o cain_n be_v the_o devil_n manifest_a in_o flesh_n and_o that_o act_n of_o murder_n which_o cain_n do_v when_o he_o slay_v his_o brother_n abel_n be_v that_o sin_n which_o the_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
