Lodowick Muggleton (1609-1698) has been fittingly described as the "Prophet of Letters," the Muggletonian church prospering under his leadership with two serious challenges to Muggleton's authority being soundly defeated. Muggleton's control over the movement was largely maintained as a result of the cultivation of his followers through lengthy letters of both a devotional and a practical nature. 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"

This book presents writings produced by the Muggletonians---an unusual seventeenth-century English sect founded in 1652 by John Reeve and Lodowick Muggleton. The volume draws on documents from a recently discovered Muggleton archive and rare seventeenth-century tracts. Among those included are Muggleton's autobiography, excerpts from works co-written by Muggleton and Reeve, letters, songs (including ones composed to celebrate Muggleton's release from prison), and miscellany.
