Lodowick Muggleton (1609-1698) has been fittingly described as the "Prophet of Letters", the Muggletonian church prospering... More > under his leadership with two serious challenges to Muggleton's authority being soundly defeated.

These letters provide a fascinating insight into both Muggletonianism and the seventeenth century in general This volume contains freshly typeset editions of: "A Volume of Spiritual Epistles", "A Stream from the Tree of Life" and "Supplement to the book of Letters" < Less

Following the death of John Reeve in 1658 Lodowick Muggleton faced a revolt against his leadership of the Muggletonian... More > church while at the same time desiring to consolidate the theological developments he sought to make to his predecessors legacy. The majority of his early works consisted of spirited assaults on various Quakers (including such luminaries as George Fox, Isaac Pennington and William Penn), a distaste that was actively reciprocated. Muggleton also wrote a prescient tirade against the prevalent belief in witchcraft and a posthumously published autobiography, "The Acts of the Witnesses of the Spirit". This volume contains the full texts of the following works, newly typeset and presented in one volume. "The Neck of the Quakers Broken", "A Looking Glass for George Fox", "An Answer to Isaac Pennington", "A True Interpretation Of The Witch of Endor", "An Answer to William Penn, Quaker," and "The Acts of the Witnesses of the Spirit". < Less

The arrival of Muggletonianism in 1651 heralded a storm of polemical outpourings. As time passed these public disputations... More > faded from the historic record and the movement gradually disappeared from sight. With the advent of the nineteenth century a fresh interest in Muggletonianism gradually developed with Muggletonianism also seeking to interact with the world that had forgotten them. This volume includes texts from: Lives and Portraits of Remarkable Characters (1819) by James Caulfield, Two Systems of Astronomy (1846) by Isaac Frost, Varia: Readings from Rare Books (1866) by J Hain Friswell, The Origin of the Muggletonians (1869) by Alexander Gordon, Ancient and Modern Muggletonians (1870) by Alexander Gordon, Bibliotheca Anti-Quakeriana (1873) by Joseph Smith, The Prophet of Walnut-Tree Yard (1884) by Augustus Jessopp, Lodowick Muggleton: A Paper Read (1919) by George Williamson, English Sects and An Historical Handbook (1921) by Arthur Reynolds. < Less

Following the death of John Reeve in 1658 Lodowick Muggleton faced a revolt against his leadership of the Muggletonian... More > church while at the same time desiring to consolidate the theological developments he sought to make to his predecessors legacy. In this context Lodowick Muggleton's chose an exposition of the eleventh chapter of the book of Revelation for his first solely self attributed work, with the 1662 "A True Interpretation of the Eleventh Chapter of The Revelation of Saint John". Rather surprisingly Muggleton revisited this topic in 1665 with the publication of "A True Interpretation of all the Chief Texts, and Mysterious Sayings and Visions Opened, of the Whole Book of The Revelation of Saint John". This book contains the full texts of both Muggleton's works on the book of Revelation together with the 1894 entry in respect of Lodowick Muggleton from the "Dictionary of National Biography", newly typeset and presented in one volume. < Less

A full understanding of the development of Muggletonian theology requires a study of the Muggletonians rich and varied... More > hymnology. For a small sect they produced a large library of songs of thanksgiving, especially in view of their rejection of prayer and religious services.

Laurence Clarkson (1615-1667), the self styled "Captain of the Rant", was the unacceptable face of religious radicalism. He...

In particular this volume contains the full texts of "The Right Devil Unfolded" (1659), "The Quakers Downfal" (1659), "A Paradisical Dialogue Betwixt Faith and Reason" (1660) and "The Lost Sheep Found" (1660). < Less
