Look about you, for the devil that you fear is in you, or, The right devil unfolded: in his descent, form, education, qualification, place and nature of torment : with many other divine secrets, never from the beginning yet extant till this last witness, so beneficial both for the seed of gain, and the seed of faith1659
The Quakers downfal: with all other dispensations their inside turn'd outward : wherein you have it infallibly interpreted 1. What Scripture is, what not, 2. By whom it was writ, 3. For whom it was writ, 4. The end wherefore it was writ : also a brief narration of the Quakers conference with us the second of July, 1659 wherein we made appear that all their sufferings in New-England, or any other nation, they suffer justly as evil doers so that neither they nor their persecutors so living and so dying shall escape damnation : with a clear confutation of all Armenians (called free-willers) that deny Gods prerogative power in matter of damnation and salvation1659
The right devil discovered: in his descent, form, education, qualification, place and nature of torment : with many other divine secrets, never as yet extant : published for confutation of the learned, instructing the wise, and undeceiving of the simple1659
A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason: disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth1660
