John Reeve; Lodowick Muggleton — A General Epistle from the Holy Spirit
London, R. Brown, c1830. Brochure/Pamphlet. A very scarce Muggletonian pamphlet declaring central tenants of the faith, written by Muggletonian founders John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton. A fascinating Muggletonian pamphlet declaring one of the central tenants of Muggletonianism, that there can be no spirit without a body. Written by Muggletonian founders John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton. Muggletonianism was a small Protestant Christian movement in the mid to late seventeenth century founded by Lodowicke Muggleton. It began as a sub-sect of the Ranters and opposed the Quakers. This was the second publication by Reeve and Muggleton, after 'A Transcendent Spiritual Treatise&apos. Originally written in the mid seventeenth century, this is a later impression from the nineteenth century. A very scarce work. In blue paper wraps with a handwritten label to the front wrap. Externally, smart, with just some light edgewear. Internally, firmly bound. Some pages are uncut to the top-edge but are generally bright and clean throughout. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good Indeed .
