everlasting world without end Thus it is clear to the understanding of all those that are appointed to know the true God the man Jesus unto life Eternal that there is no true Ministry in the World because they teach not the true God unto the people therefore as it is written they are blind leaders of the blind therefore they must needs both fall into the Ditch Oh! it is an eternal Ditch These are those Merchants of the Letter of the Scripture that make the blind Nations their prey these are those ravening Wolves that come in sheeps cloathing these are those dumb dogs in spiritual things that bark a● true Prophecy and heavenly revelation that a man d●clares by Commission from the Lord Jesus these are those that the Apostle Paul complained on in his time that bewitched the people to turn from the spiritual Gospel to the legal form who began by the Apostle in the spirit but were deluded by false Hypocrites to be made perfect in the flesh these were of those Hypocrites that were in Christs time who under pretence of long prayers devour Widows houses these are those hypocrites that are always teaching of God what he should do for his own glory when indeed it is their own glory in lusting after things that perish they desire when they thus pray or preach or prate these are those bloody hypocrites and workers of iniquity that the Lord Jesus will never own because he never sent them X. AGain I declare by revelation from the Holy Spirit that there is no Magistrate in this world that bears the name of Christian that hath any Authority or Commission from the Lord Jesus to set up any visible form of Worship whatsoever to compel the spirits or consciences of men to how down to his image that he had set up for his own glory because ever since the Lord Jesus ascended into his glory he alone is the Teacher of all his Elect by his Holy Spirit it is truth in the time of the Law before God became flesh there were many Magistrates and Priests commissionated from the Lord to set up and to declare the true Worship of God unto all Israel and it was death by the command of the Lord if the people despised to yield obedience unto it because it was the Lords Worship and no● mans worship set up from his own lying imagination that would be a God but he is a devil for his creating of a Worship to deceive the people without a Commission from the Lord and by taking the prerogative power and glory of God to himself who will not give his glory to another as it is written therefore in the Revelation the Dragon there spoken of is the imagination of the Beast and the Beast is the body of the Magistrate wherein that Dragon imagination liveth and the false prophet there spoken of is the Magistrates Priest and the Image of the Beast is that false worship set up by the imagination of the Magistrate and the serpent-counsel of his false prophet or Priest to deceive themselves and the people with them therefore it is written And all that dwell upon the Earth shall worship him whose names are not written in the Book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the World that is all Reprobates both rich and poor shall bow down unto that false idolatrous worship set up by Heathen Magistrates and their Heathen false prophets the National Priests who call themselves Christian Magistrates and Christian Ministers and are blindly called so by the people also and yet both of these Devils together persecute with the sword of steel all spiritual Christians under the name or title of Blasphemers Seducers Heresie Deceivers of the people and such like because the spiritual Christian cannot bow down unto that carnal Antichristian formal worship set up by those carnal Magistrates and their carnal Ministers beforesaid who being both lovers of the glory of this world loving to be honoured as gods for that cursed heathenish idol-worship from their own invention set up to deceive themselves and those appointed to damnation with them wherefore the Dragon Magistrate and the false Prophet his Serpent-Ministers that committed spiritual fornication together and all those of their own spirits shall every one of them in the day of the Lords vengeance burn in their spirits and bodies together as a lake of fire those spirits and bodies that they shall appear with in the Resurrection shall be that lake of spiritual fire and brimstone that by the decree of the Lord Jesus shall burn together to all eternity this is that giving her own blood to drink who eat up the innocent as bread and thought they did God good service in shedding of the blood of the Lambs of Jesus as their forefathers did then will these Scriptures be fulfilled And those mine enemies that would not that I should reign over them bring them and slay them before me And Go ye cursed into everlasting fire And the Carcasses of the Rebels shall be cast out where the worm never dies and the fire never goes out And Tophet is ordained of old for the King That Tophet is the body of man and that King is the spirit of unclean reason in man for behold the day cometh that shall burn as an Oven and all the proud yea and all that do wickedly shall be stubble and the day that cometh shall burn them up saith the Lord of Hostes and ye shall tread down the wicked for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this saith the Lord of Hosts Fill yee up the measure ●f your Fathers ye Serpents ye generation of Vipers how can ye escape the damnation of Hell for he shall have Judgment without mercy that hath shewed no mercy but the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and Murtherers Whoremongers and Sorcerers or Astrologers and Idolaters and all lyars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death Again the bloody persecutors beforesaid instead of feeding and cloathing the hungry Saint quite contrary they do not only take away the food and rayment of the Lord Jesus in his Elect innocent Lambs but they crucifie the Lord of life afresh in the shedding of the blood of his Believers because they yield obedience to the spiritual Law of faith and love or command of the Lord Jesus either by Prophecying or writing or speaking the Truth by command from the man Jesus who is the only spiritual Magistrate and Minister unto all that are appointed unto eternal glory with him in that glorious Creation of that new Heaven and new Earth above the stars when this creation beneath the stars is utterly destroyed and fitted only for persecuting Dragon-Serpent-Devils to lament howl and weep to all eternity upon this earth where the Saints by them were put to grief for a moment XI BUt some may say unto me do you not

Of some difference between the glory of Men and ●ngels in glory in the heaven above AN Epistle from the holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ the eternal Father written by the Lords two last witnesses and prophets that ever shall declare the mind of God the man Jesus that was crucified without the gates of Jerusalem the Lord Jesus by us his poor despised messengers hath sent this Writing unto the Christian world so called Wherefore we declare by vertue of our Commission given unto us by voice of words from the holy Spirit of the Lord Jesus from the throne of his glory to make known his prerogative will and pleasure both to the elect world and reprobate world a little before his glorious coming to separate between the two worlds that whosoever despiseth this Writing whether he be a King or a Beggar by calling it blasphemy or heresie or delusion or a lye or speaking evil of it in any kind whatsoever in so doing they have committed that unpardonable sin against the holy Ghost or spirit that sent us Wherefore in obedience to our Commission from the Lord Jesus Christ whom they have despised and not us we pronounce them cursed both soule and body from the presence of the Lord Jesus elect men and Angels to all eternity John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton the Lords two last true Witnesses and Prophets spoken of in the eleventh of the Revelation a little before the coming of him that sent us who is the Judge of both quick and dead FEbruary the 3.4 and 5. 1651. three mornings together much about an houre the Lord Jesus the only wise God whose glorious person is refident above or beyond the stars I declare from the spirit of truth that this Jesus from the throne of his glory by voice of words spake unto me John Reeve saying I have given thee understanding of my mind in the Scriptures above all men in the world The next words the Lord spake unto me were these saying Look into thy own body there thou shalt see the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of Hell the Lord spake these words unto me twice together Again the Lord spake unto me these words saying I have chosen thee my last messenger for a great work unto this bloudy unbeleeving world And I have given thee Lodowick Muggleton to be thy mouth at that very moment the holy spirit brought inot my mind that Scripture of Aaron given unto Moses Again the Lord spake unto me these words saying I have put the two-edged sword of my spirit into thy mouth that whoever I pronounce blessed through thy mouth is blessed to eternity and whoever I pronounce cursed through thy mouth is cursed to eternity When I heard these words my spirit desired the Lord that I might not be his dreadfull messenger For indeed I thought upon the delivering of so sad an unexpected message unto men I should immediately have been torn to pieces Again the Lord spake unto me these words saying If thou dost not obey my

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 Prophet● 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
