unto everlasting life, of revelation of new wisdom, from whence flows new joys and glory within his own person, like unto his God; only they shall naturally return the glory and praise unto their fountain, the Lord Jesus, for this their exaltation upon the glorious throne of his own likeness; for it is the righteous actings and sufferings that was in the innocent body of the Lord Jesus, when he was in mortality, that by his infinite wisdom is made naturally that glorious fire, to kindle new revelation of heavenly wisdom within his body, for the increase of his glory to all eternity, as beforesaid; so likewise all those righteous actings and sufferings for truth's sake, that were acted and suffered in our former bodies, by the appointment of our God, shall be conveyed into our new spiritual bodies, that are like unto our God, and shall be that glorious fire, naturally to kindle revelation of new wisdom, from whence flows glorious new songs and praises unto our Redeemer, the fountain of all our glory, for everlasting, world-without end, as abundantly beforesaid; then shall these scriptures be fulfilled, to him that overcometh will I grant to set with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Again, and he that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers, even as I received of my Father; and I will give him the morning star: again, him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out, and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and I will write upon him my own name. Again, he that overcometh shall in

herit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be mij son. Again, henceforth I will not drink of this fruit of the vine, until that day I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. Again, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father, to him be glory and dominion, for ever and ever. Amen.

AGAIN, from the holy spirit, I shall shew you the difference between elect men and angels in glory. The angels' natures or spirits being pure reason, they must always be supplied by revelation from the spirit of faith in the person of God, to keep their spirits in pure obedience unto their Creator. But, on the contrary, the believers' spirits being of the very same divine nature of God, they are but one voice or spirit, speaking all pure obedience within themselves unto their Redeemer, to whom alone be all glory and praise from my spirit, with his elect men and angels, to all eternity.

GENERAL EPISTLE

FROM THE

HOLY SPIRIT,

UNTO ALL

PROPHETS, MINISTERS, OR SPEAKERS

IN THE WORLD:

Wherefore, if any Man in the World, shall be left to despise this writing, from the greatest to the least, by calling of it blasphemy, a devil, delusion, or a lie ; in so doing they have committed that unpardonable sin against the holy Spirit that sent us: wherefore, from the presence of the Lord Jesus, elect men and angels, we pronounce them cursed and damned soul and body, to all eternity.

JOHN REEVE AND LODOWICKE MUGGLETON, the two last Spiritual Witnesses, and alone true Prophets of the Holy Spirit, by Commission from the true God, that ever shall write or speak unto unbelieving Magistrates, Ministers, and People, until the only Lord of Life and Glory, the Man JESUS, personally appeareth in the air, with his mighty Angels, to bear witness to this testimony: even so come Lord JESUS.

From Great Trinity Lane, at a Chandler's Shop, against one Mr. Millis a Brown Baker, near Bow Lane End, London, 1653, in the Second Year of our Commission by voice from heaven.

SIR,

By virtue of my Commission received by voice of words from the holy Spirit of the only wise God, and

B

everlasting Father, the man Jesus in glory, present I this epistle as an eternal witness between us. Friend, in the account of many, you have appeared as a true minister or preacher of the everlasting Gospel or God, the man Jesus, and you have lived in glory for a season, through your ministry, taken up by your natural wit from the letter of the Scripture, which were other men's words, received by voice aud inspiration from the Lord, you having no commission nor revelation from the glorious mouth of the Lord Jesus to preach unto his elect; wherefore, because my God, the man Jesus sent you not, you preach unto the people out of the bottomless pit of your own lying imagination, which is the Devil, a God of words only, without substantial form, a bodyless God which you call an eternal Spirit, which you imagine was in heaven when the Lord Jesus was personally on this earth, unto whom you suppose the man Jesus prayed unto; but I declare by revelation from the Holy Spirit, that you are utterly ignorant of that Father that the Lord Jesus cried unto, in the body of

his flesh.

For it is hid from the wise and prudent men of this world, that the eternal Creator of all Spiritual forms came down from the throne of his glory personally in a Spiritual form or likeness of a man, and with his Spiritual body or form personally entered into the body or womb of the Virgin Wife Mary, and in her womb uncreated himself, from his eternal immortal glory, and in the same moment created or conceived himself of the seed of the Virgin in pure mortality, and in his appointed time became a child, a Son, yea, a perfect creature: thus the immortal eternal Creator, for a season became an absolute mortal man or creature, sin only excepted.

Again, I declare from the Holy Spirit, that in that heaven and earth above or beyond the stars, where the

persons of the holy Angels are resident, the personal presence of God was wholly absent from them for that season, the second man the Lord from heaven, was resident on earth.

Again, it is hid from your eyes, that there is no Spirit without a body or form, hath any living being, nor never had, neither of God the Creator from eternity, nor Angels or man created in time. Again, it is hid from your eyes, that from eternity the Creator was a spiritual body or person in the form of a man, having all parts in immortality, as man hath in mortality, who was created in his Spirit within like unto God, and in his form without like unto God also; only his fleshly form was natural and earthly, and God's form was spiritual and heavenly. Again, because you preach without a commission you understand not that the eternal spiritual form, both Father and Son, was a spiritual God and man in one person or form from all eternity; and so it being impossible to divide them, unseparably the immortalGod, Father and Son, did as beforesaid, lay down their eternal immortal glory in the Virgin's womb together, and did transmute their spiritual glory both together into pure mortality, of flesh, blood, and bone, and in that body of flesh they did raise unto themselves new transcendant glory from elect men and angels, in revealing unto them the wonderful spiritual mystery of the whole Godhead, clothing itself with flesh, in the person of a man; therefore it is written, 'For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily:' again, 'From his fulness we all receive grace for grace.' Again, 'He that hath seen me hath seen the Father, and the Father and I are one.' Again, 'He thought it no robbery to be equal with God.' Again 'He is called the Creator of the worlds.' Again, it is written, 'Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us.' Again, 'I am he that liveth and was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore, Amen.' And, 'I
