provided to give fentance of eternal Damnation upon all fuch defpifing, perfecuting, plafpheming Devils, as this feries.

23. I knew he was a Reprobate, and appointed of God to be Damn'd before; but this Tryal of mine hath given Testimony to me, and all that truly believe me, that he is an abfolute Devil in Flefh, and his Sin doth cry to Heaven for Vengeance.

24. And look what measure he would have measured unto me, in that he would have flain my innocent Blood unto Death, the fame measure fhall be measured to him again: because the Laws of Heaven are always provided, and hath impowered me to give Sentance and Judgment upon him; for I know, by Revelation of the Spirit of God, that he is recorded in the tables of Heaven, for a reprobate Devil, and he shall be recorded here on Earth to the end of the World, for a damn'd Devil.

25. For that Body of his, which is now his Heaven, which cloathed itself in Scarlet, and fat on the Judgment Seat against me, fhall be in Hell. And that lofty, bawling Spirit of his, fhall be his Devil; the one fhall be as Fire, and the other as Brimstone, burning together to all Eternity.

26. And he fhall remember in the Resurrection, when he is raised again, that he gave Judgment upon me for writing this Sentance to others; and I am fure the God of Heaven will not deliver him from thofe eternal Torments.

27. There is a neceffity that these Men of all others, fhould be Damn'd to Eternity; for there was more Enemies against me than could be numbered, through the occafion of thefe five Men afore-mentioned.

28. And I could freely forgive the rude Multitude, for they knew no what they did; but there is no forgiveness of these five Men, nor Jury, nor Judge, nor Officers, that gave their Confent to that Judgment that was paffed upon me, the 27th of January, 1676.

29. Therefore I have left thefe five Men upon Record, that the Age to come may fee the wickedness of them; and

take

take heed how they perfecute innocent Men, that doth not break any temporal Law; and efpecially fuch Men that hath a Committion from God to give fentance of eternal Damnation upon them, leaft they come under the fame Condemnation as thefe Men are under.

30. This I have left upon record for the Age to come, after my Death, fome of the most remarkable Sufferings, which I have paffed through, in the Year 1676.

С НА Р. VI.

Of the Prophet's Deliverance out of Prison. Of the Price and Value that was made of him. The Rewards to the two Seeds at the last Day.

1.

N

OW having given an Account of my Sufferings, it will be neceflary to give an Account of my Deliverance out of thofe Troubles.

2. While I was in the Prefs-Yard Prifoner, the Sheriffs did fend feveral times, by the Goal Keepers, to fee what I would do about the Fine, but they were at no certainty, what they required: At laft the Clerk of Newgate faid, they would take the 5th Part, which was one Hundred Pounds.

3. I was unwilling to give fo much, I let it alone a quarter of a Year longer, for fome Reafons I had in myfelf; after that time I fent a Letter to treat with them about the Fine: The Sheriff's Name was one Sir John Peak. Sheriff of London. The other was Sir Thomas Stamp, Sheriff of Midalesex.

4. But they were very high and would not abate One Shilling of one Hundred Pounds, and the cause why, was because fome of the Goal Keepers, had proffered one Hun

dred

dred Pounds for me, to keep a Prifoner for ever, or elfe to have a large Sum of Money, for my Ranfom.

5. I perceive, had not the Sheriffs Honour lain at Stake, I had been bought and fold as Jofeph was in Egypt for a Prifoner during Life, or till fuch Ranfom was paid: It would have been a great difparagement to the Sheriffs, if they had fold me, fuch as was never done in England before.

6. But they having an Eye to Credit, and fomewhat to Confcience, they would not do fuch Wickedness; but however it caufed them to abate nothing of one Hundred Pounds, neither would they give any time, but pay down presently.

7. So we borrowed an Hundred Pounds the next Day and gave to them, upon the 19th Day of July 1677, and the fame Day at Night I was released out of Prifon, and many of the Believers do keep that Day as a Feaft-day every Year, in remembrance of my Deliverance out of Prison.

8. For I was prized at a goodly Price, far higher than the Lord of Life, when he was on Earth: He was valued at but thirty pieces of Silver, the thirty pieces of Silver was thirty Pound, but they valued me at a hundred pieces of Silver, for the thirty pieces of Silver they valued Christ at, must be so much, elfe it would not have bought the Potters Field.

9. Now the caufe why they valued me at fuch a high Price above my Lord and Mafter, it was because they knew I had fome Intereft in this World: and many followers of me, therefore they valued me at fuch a high Price as a hundred pieces of Silver.

10. And as the thirty pieces of Silver was the Price of innocent Blood, therefore not fit to be put into the Treafury, to be expended upon an holy Ufe, or to relieve the Poor and the like; but to buy a Potters Field, to bury the. ftinking carcafes of Strangers, Thieves, and Murderers, infomuch that the thirty pieces of Silver was beftowed on the bafest Way, fuitable to the purchase, being the Price of innocent Blood.

11. So likewife the hundred pieces of Silver they valued me at, it was the Price of incocent Blood alfo, tho' not unto Death, as our Lord was a very goodly Price.

12. And this Money will not be put into the Treafury, to repair Churches, or relieve the Poor, but will be spent bafely in Luft, and Drunkennefs, and in Voluptuousness fuitable to the purchase of it, being the Price of innocent Blood.

13. Thus have I left upon Record, the fubftance of the whole Matter, as fhort as I can, both of my Sufferings and my Deliverance out of all thofe Troubles that hath happened upon me in the Year 1675, and in the Year 1676, and 1677, and in the Year of my Life 67.

14. This is the fifth part of the Acts of John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton, the two laft Prophets, and Witneff's of the Spirit, from the Year 1651 to the Year 1677 I have been preserved, and had experience of the truth of all these things.

15. And wonderful Revelations, and Paffages, and A&ts, that are written in these five Parts, that I might leave it as a Legacy for the Age to come upon Record, that the unbelieving World may be convinced when I am turned to duft, as my Father Adam is, that I was flandered, reproached, belied, perfecuted, imprisoned, and pilloried, without a Cause,

16. But I fhall be raised again, by the Power of that God, the Lord Jefus Chrift, in whom I believed, that he was dead, even the Alpha and Omega, and is alive for ever

more.

17. And it will not feem a quarter of an hours time to me from my death, to my rifing again: For there is no time to the dead, time belongs to the living.

18. And this I know, that as the twelve Apoftles in the Refurrection, shall fit upon thrones and judge the twelve Tribes of Ifrael; thofe that believed them when they were upon the Earth. They were judged with an eternal bleffing of

Life eternal, and thofe that defpifed, and perfecuted them when on Earth, are judged by them to be curfed and damn'd to eternity, which is a fecond Death, which is Eternal.

So fhall Reeve and Muggleton, in the Refurrection, fit upon Thrones, and judge all true Believers of our Doctrine and Commiffion of the Spirit, when we were upon Earth, to be bleffed both in Souls and Bodies, that were mortal when they believed us, but now Immortal to Eternity.

And we fhall judge all thofe wicked defpifers and perfecutors of us when we were upon Earth, with the fame Judgment in the Refurrection, as we did here on Earth.

That is, they are curfed in that Soul and Body they fhall have in the Refurrection to Eternity; and fhall remain in utter Darkness here upon this Earth; weeping and gnashing of Teeth for Evermore.

Written by LODOWICK MUGGLETON, one of the two laft Witneffes and Prophets of the Spirit, unto the High and Mighty God, the Man Chrift Jefus in Glory.
