This Book of his writing, said he, falling into the hands of one _Edward Bourn_ a Quaker, is by him despised and cavilled at; for, he said that he had perused it till he was weary with looking into it, for it was one of the dirtiest and confusedst pieces of work that ever he saw: and many other particular cavils had he against it; which _Muggleton_ hearing of, is so much offended, that he writes a Letter to him, dated in _August_ 1662. and there he thus concludes: _I write these Lines unto you_ Edward Bourn, _knowing you to be of the seed of the Serpent, and appointed to eternal Damnation before you were born; though you know it not, I do know it, by your speaking evil of that Doctrine which is declared by us the Witnesses of the Spirit, by calling it deceit, confusion, and lies, with many more wicked speeches against the purest truth that ever was declared by Prophet or Apostle, because this is the Commission of the Spirit, and the last Witness of God on Earth_. _Therefore, for these your hard sayings against the Doctrine of this Commission of the Spirit; In obedience unto my Commission, I pronounce you cursed and damned, both Soul and Body, from the presence of God, elect men and Angels, to Eternity; neither shall that light within you, nor any God deliver you from this curse, but according to my word it shall be upon you, because you shall know, that God hath given power unto Man to curse you to eternity, and that there is a Prophet of the Lord now in_ England. This Letter being thus subscribed, was printed and sent to the said _Edward Bourn_. Also another to one _Samuel Hooker_ and _W. S._ both Quakers, wherein amongst other things he thus writes: _First, I declare as I am a Prophet and Messenger of the true God, that the people called Quakers are not the children of the most high God, but for the generality of them, they are children of the Devil, and are the very Seed of the Devil, and were begotten by him; and I (as I am an Ambassador ordained of God by voyce of Words) can as truely say; that they are the Seed of the Serpent, and so the children of the Devil, as Christ did to the Jews, when he said, that_ they were Serpents, _yea_ Devils, _and the_ Devil was their father. _So can I say by you Quakers, and many thousands more as well as you, that you were the children of the Devil, that were begotten by him, and not begotten by_ Adam, _who never came through the loyns of_ Adam, _though they came through the womb of_ Eve. _For this I know,_ Cain _was the first-born of the Devil, and_ Adam _had no part in the begetting of him. And from this_ Cain _came the Jews that Christ called_ Serpents _and_ Devils.
