13.

Because he had fhut himself up for nine Days, and he would fpeak with none for that time: But he received it afterwards of the Man where he Lodged; and after a while he and his great Matters perifhed in the Sea.

14. For he made a little Boat to carry him to Jerufalem, and going to Holland, to call the Jews there, he and one Captain James were caft away and Drowned; fo all his Power came to nothing.

Of the Transactions of the third Mornings and of the Message of the Prophet Reeve, to John Robins.

1.

T

HE third Morning God fpake to John Reeve, as it is written in the Book aforefaid; where it is faid, Go thou to Lodowick Mugleton, and he fhall bring thee to fuch a Woman, namely Dorcas Boofe, and the fhall bring you to John Robins, Prifoner in New Bridewell, and deliver my Meffage when thou comeft there.

2. So we went to this Dorcas Boofe, and faid unto her, You must go with us to New Bridewell, for we have a Meffage from God, to declare to John Robins; She was willing to go, but her Hufband made a little Demur: Then faid I to her Hufband, If you will not let her go, I muft pronounce you curfed to Eternity.

3. So he was willing to let her go, for he was fome Kin by Marriage, to John Reeve and me both: The Woman was a true Believer of this Commiffion afterwards.

4. So we three went to New Bridewell, and afked for John Robins; and the Keeper opened the Gate, and faid, Who would you speak with? John Reeve faid, with John Robins.

5. The Keeper faid, You fhall not fpeak with him.

6. Then

6. Then faid John Reeve to the Keeper, Thou fhalt never be at Peace.

7. So he fhut the little Gate upon us; and as we flood a little while without the Gate, there came a Woman, a Difciple of fubn Robins, to come out: Saith the Keeper to the Woman, There is two or three without would fpeak with your Lord, fhew them the other Way.

8. So the Keeper let the Woman out, and the Woman faid unto John Reeve, Would you fpeak with my Lord? Yea, faith he, I would speak with thy Lord: Saith the Woman, He is the fame, and will be the fame for ever. Thou faith right, faid he, He is the fame, and will be the fame for ever. Meaning the fame falfe Chrift for ever.

9. So the Woman went and fhewed us the Place where John Robins was; and she said, Knock at that Window, and my Lord will look out.

10. So the Woman parted from us; then John Robins put by a Board of the Window, and looked out, and John Reeve put off his Hat, and held it under his Arm, and faid, Art thou John Robins? He faid to John Reeve, Put on your Hat: He faid, I put it, not off to thee, but to him that fent me.

II. Stand thou ftill, and hear the Meffage of the Lord to thee: He answer'd, and faid, I will not, except you put on your Hat: This he faid three times. Said John Reeve the third time,

12. I put not my Hat off to thee, but to him that fent me, therefore I charge thee to stand still, and hear the Meffage of the Lord to thee; after the third time John Robins faid, speak on.

1༢. Then John Reeve spake, and faid, Thou may'ft remember I was with thee about Six or Eight Months ago, and thou didst declare unto me, That thou wert Adam Melchifedeck that met Abraham in the Way, that received the Tythes of the Spoil, and that gave Abraham Bread and Wine.

14. Alfo thou faidft to me, that thou waft the first Adam in ftate, and that thou wert the God and Father of the Lord Jefus

Chrift;

Christ; and that thou kneweft the Names of all Angels, and their Natures: And that thou hadft Power over all Voices: And that thou waft the Judge of the Quick and the Dead: And that Chrift was a weak and imperfect Saviour, and afraid to Die, but thou waft not afraid to Die.

15. Alfo thou didst deceive many People, in that thou madeft them bring in their Estates, and then gaveft them leave to abftain by degrees from all kind of Food, that should have preferved and ftrengthened their Natures: But thou didst feed them with windy things, as Apples, and other Fruit that was windy; and they drank nothing but Water.

16. So that thou hadst full Power over their Bodies, Souls and Estates; and fome were Starved under thy Diet, and Died; therefore look what measure thou haft measured to Others, must be meafur'd again to thee.

17. That Body of thine, which was thy Heaven, must be thy Hell; and that proud Spirit of thine, which faid was God, must be thy Devil.

18. The one fhall be as Fire, and the other as Brimftone, burning together to all Eternity: This is the Meffage of the Lord unto thee.

19. John Robins pulled his Hands off the Grates, and laid them together, and faid, It is finifhed; the Lord's Will be done. These were all the Words he fpake: I was both an Eye-Witness and Ear-Witness of it.

20. After this it came to pafs, that about two Months after, John Robins did write a Letter of Recantation of all his great Matters, unto General Cromwell, and fo obtained his Liberty out of Prifon.

21. And one of our Acquaintance went to him, and afked him how he could do fo: And he answered and faid, That after those two Men had paffed Sentance upon him, he had a burning in his Throat, as if he should be burn'à to Ashes, and that he had a Voice within him, which bid him deny thofe things he had declared of himself before, and he fhould have his Liberty.

22. And

22. And faid afterwards, he fhould come forth with a greater Power; but he never came forth more with any Power at all, to his Dying Day.

23. Thus thefe two great Heads, John Tauny was the Head of that Myftery Babel, the Atheistical Ranters and Quakers Principle: And John Robins was the Head of all falfe Christs, falfe Prophets, and falfe Propheteffes, that were in the World at that Day; and there were many.

24. Now John Robins was that Man of Sin fpoken of in Theffalonians: Neither will there come any fo high after him, to the end of the World.

25. Thus the Reader may fee that these two Powers were brought down in these two Days Meffages from the Lord.

CHAP IV.

***

When the tranfcendant Treatife was Wrote, many People were more offended with the Doctrine than the Commiffion Of the Letter Jent to the Minifters, and when. How the Children mocked John Reeve, called him Prophet, Prophet, and foilowed him, flinging Stones at him; And how a Woman bearing this, followed the Prophet to his House, and was Converted to the Faith. Of Sentance given upon one Penfon, and its Effects.

A

1. FTER this there came a many People to Difcourfe with us, and afked Questions about many things, in matters of Religion, and we anfwered them to all Questions whatsoever could arife out of the Heart of Men; and fome few were fatisfied and believed.

And many defpifed it, calling it Blafphemy, Delufion, and Lyes; and we gave the Sentance of eternal Damnation. upon all thofe that Blafphemed against the Holy Ghost.

3. After this, in the Year 1652, John Reeve wrote that Book called, A Transcendant Spiritual Trealife, wherein is declared the

Words

Words God fpake unto him, three Mornings together, to the hearing of the Ear, and his Meffage to John Tauny, and to Jebn Robins; which is more largely fet down, with feveral Interpretations of Scripture, concerning the true God, and right Devil. 4. Never fo clearly made manifeft by any, as now in that Treatife.

5. Many People were more offended at the Doctrine therein, than at the Commiflion.

6. After this John wrote a Letter to feveral Minifters in London, and about Lendon; which was afterwards Printed, forbidding them to Preach any more after the Receipt of this Epiftle, upon pain of Damnation to Eternity.

7. Thefe Epiftles were given to the moft eminent Prefbiterian and Independant Minifters in London, and about London; for they were in Power at that time.

8. After this it came to pafs in the fame Year, that as John Reeve was going through Pauls-Church-Yard, one that he had given the Sentance of Damnation upon, faid unto fome Boys, There goes the Prophet that Damns People.

9. The Boys hearing this run after him, calling him Prophet, Prophet, and threw Gravel and little Stones at him; fo he made hafte into Pauls, and the Boys left him : And a Woman, named Elizabeth Moore, feeing the Boys caft Stones at him, and calling him Prophet, the followed him into Pauls, keeping a distance from him, to fee where he would go; fo the followed him, and he came to my House in Great Trinity-Lane, London.

10. And the defired to fpeak with him, being a Prophet, for fhe had a great Refpect for Prophets; fo the told thofe things fhe had seen, and the became a true Believer of this Commiffion of the Spirit.

II. After this, it came to pass in the fame Year, that I Lodowick Mugleton having occafion to go into Houndsditch, to fee my Master's Son where I was 'Prentice; as I went through the Minories, London, there I met with one Morgan Guilliam, a Man that had been 'Prentice with my Mafter.
