The mystery of the dispute between Christ and the woman of Samaria, as touching the true point of worship, clearly opened : wherein you have drawn up a divine charge against the teachers of the Baptists, with all other teachers publick and private, for counterfeiting the commission of the man Jesus, being therein convicted of spiritual high treason against Christ the great commissioner of heaven and earth : with a true relation of the kingdom of darkness, prepared for the cursed seed of Cain, world without end / written by John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton ...

into a Horse or into a Root or into a Flower with many more such like cursed expressions they being more ignorant if it be possible of the Lord Jesus through the love of fleshly pleasures then the brute beasts therefore they reason against their own reason and say this Creation or VVorld had never any beginning nor never shall have any ending two cursed lyes Again They call perishing nature God or Creator saying God is all things and all things is God Thus these blaspheming Devils liken the incorruptible Spirit of God the man Jesus not only u●to the unclean spirit and cursed imagination living in the body of corr pt man but unto the spirits of unclean beast and creeping things as those Atheists in the time of Paul These are those who received the truth to prate of it only but not in the love of it having pleasure in unrighteousnesse therefore given up to strong delusions to believe a lie that they might all the damned then these Scriptures will be fulfilled He made all things for his own glory and the wicked for the day of wrath Again He shall come in flaming fire to render vengeance upon them that know not God and obey not the Gospel of Jesus ●hrist Again But these as natural brute beasts made to be taken and destroyed speak evil of the things they understand not and shall utterly perish in their own corruption Again Ha●ing eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin beguiling unstable souls an heart they have exercised with covetous p●actises cursed children which have forsaken the right way and are gone astray following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor who loved the wages of unrighteousnesse Again Raging waves of the sea foaming out their own shame wandring stars to whom is reserved the blacknesse of darknesse for ever Again And also Enoch the seventh from Adam prophesied of these saying behold the Lord cometh with ten Thousands of his Saints to execute judgment upon all and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodlily committed and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him XIII AGain Unto you that see by the Eye of Faith from the Lord I shall shew you that general Error amongst men concerning the spirit of man in death some say the spirit dyeth not at all but immediately goeth into Heaven or into Hell and the body goes to the dust only others say the spirit dyeth not but goeth into another form either of man or some other creature as beforesaid others say or think all mens spirits go into a Hell or Purgatory when they die for a season others blasphemously say that the spirit of man is God and that the body only dies and turn to dust these say also God is an infinite Spirit and all spirits came from his Spirit and so return into his spirit again others say the spirit and body or think it turns to dust for ever indeed almost all men are in darknesse because they walk by thinking only about things of eternity but about things that perish they think them hardly ever sure enough unto them wherefore unto you whose bodies are the Temples of the Holy Ghost from the Lord Jesus I shall declare unto you the truth of this secret you may know that the spirit is nothing at all without a body and a body is nothing at all without a spirit neither of them can live or have a being without the other you may know it is the spirit only in the body of man that li●es and speaks and walks and works and eats and drinks and dies for the spirit is a natural fire of Reason which is that life of light heat or motion that as a ●…re kindleth life and strength through all the flesh or body of man only the principal part of the understanding of this natural fire of the spirit of Reason liveth in the head of man because that is the glory of the man so that the spirit or soul is the man although it cannot possibly be without the form or body wherefore when man dies and turns to his dust it is that natural spirit of the fire of Reason that was the life or spirit of the body that dyeth or is quenched and goeth out within the body as fire goeth out in an Oven that is closed so doth the spirit of man die within his body from all sensible life heart or motion until the visible coming of the Lord of life in the Clouds of Heaven at the last day therefore it is written Dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return when the Lord spake those words he did not speak to the flesh or outward form or body of the man but he spake to the inward spirit or soul that understands the words of a spirit again it is written in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt dye the death that is if thou through disobedience to my command dost forfeit the image of thy Creation then thou shalt see mortality or death within thy own body both spiritual and natural and the fear of eternal death also Thus it is clear to you that believe in the Lord Jesus that the spirit of man dies and turns to dust within the body because nothing can possibly die but it must first live so likewise nothing can possibly quicken or live again but that which is absolutely dead or dust or asleep void of all motion heat life light or sense being utterly annihilated to its self and all other creatures only being alive in the memory of God that God alone the man Jesus might have all the Glory in the new creating of Mankind at the last out of dust as he had in creating of man at the first out of dust according to that saying in the Revelation Behold I create all things new in answer to that Creation in Genesis Thus it is with the grain or body of Wheat except it dies it never comes to perfection but abides alone in the dust for ever But on the contrary if the spirit of life which is in the body of Wheat doth absolutely die within its body then by the decree of God it quickens out of death unto a new life immediately and brings ●orth a glorious Resurrection in due season of many bodies in the same form like unto that which died of the very same nature Thus it is by the decree of the Lord Jesus with the natural spirits of all the Elect first they are dead in sins and Trespasses before they are capable by the spirit or truth to live in righteousness so likewise the spirits of men and women must be absolutely dead when they fall asleep in the dust or else they were never capable to rise again neither in glory nor in shame so that by the decree of God all life both spiritual and natural must first enter into death that through death or in death they may quicken a
