Page "Lodowicke Muggleton" Paragraph 36

Lodowicke Muggleton wrote two commentaries on the Book of Revelation.

William Lamont sees the first work as part of a power struggle with Laurence Clarkson, but admits, " If Muggleton's motivation in writing his comments on Chapter XI of Revelation was to complete the doing-down of Clarkson, it is therefore, a signal failure.

" So there is room for doubt if this is the whole explanation.

Muggleton himself says his intention is to prophesy anew: " whereby is unfolded, and plainly declared, the whole counsel of God concerning Himself, the Devil and all Mankind from the foundation of the world to all eternity.

Never before revealed.

" Muggleton stresses he writes " without the help of other men's labours, but only as the revelation did arise in me from the seed of faith ".
