A Copy of a Letter written by the Prophet Lodowicke Muggleton, to his loving friend Mary Wakeham, dated from London, August 15th, 1688.

Loving and kind Friend in the true faith, Mary Wakeham,

THIS is to certify you, that I received your letter, dated the 29th of May, in the year 1688, by the hand of our friend, Mrs. Stratton; wherein I perceive you have a desire to come to London to see me. I should be very glad to see you, if it were possible; but I may say unto you in the temporal, as Abraham said unto Dives in the spiritual, he being in hell, and Abraham in heaven, that there was such a great gulph between them, that Abraham could not come to him in hell; neither could Dives come out of hell and ascend up to heaven to come to Abraham; so likewise there is a great temporal gulph between you and I, as to the hundred miles by land, that might easily be done, but that gulph by sea will be very hard for you to come and see me; and I have such. an antipathy in my nature, that if I might have ten thousand pounds, I would not come through that sea gulph to see you, though I have travelled several thousands of miles in England in my time by land, so that if you can come through this sea gulph to see me, I shall be very glad to see you, but as you say if you cannot see me in this state of mortality, you will be sure to see me in the state of immortality, in a better condition than now, when you and all others, that are true believers shall see me and John Reeve set upon thrones of glory, and there you shall see the twelve apostles and all the prophets, with Moses and Elias that represented the person of God the Father, while Christ the only true God went that journey in the flesh; all these and many more shall you see to sit upon thrones of glory, distinct one from another; nay, further I say, that we the two Witnesses of the Spirit being upon thrones of glory,

shall say to those the believers of this Commission of the Spirit, Come, we will lead you up into the kingdom where our God sits in his glorious throne, with all his holy angels round about him; there you shall see him face to face, because you did believe in him when he was in shame, when he was upon earth; this is that unspeakable glory and pleasures which my faith tells me, which we and all true believers shall see and enjoy those pleasures at his right hand for evermore. This is all at present, only my love, and my wife's love remembered unto yourself I take leave, rest and remain your friend in the eternal truth.

LODOWICKE MUGGLETON.

London, August 15th, 1688.

In the latter Days two Bright Stars fhall arife, raifing up Men being dead in their Sins, which fhall refift the Beast, and the Waters of the Dragon, teftifying and preaching the Law of the Lamb, and the Deftruction of Antichrift, and shall diminish his Waters; but they shall be weakened in the Bread of Affliction, and they fhall rife again in ftronger Force; and after Truth fhall be revealed, and the Lamb fhall be known: After this fhall be but a small Space.
