The Mysterie of God Concerning the Whole Creation, Mankinde

The first pamphlet of Gerrard Winstanley, the Digger — written before his communist experiment on St George's Hill — declaring the "mysterie" that God will in the end dwell in the whole creation and every son and daughter of Adam, and that the serpent's work will be utterly destroyed. It stands with Jeremiah White and Samuel Richardson, both also in this collection, among the seventeenth-century English radicals who denied endless torment a century before the Universalist movement organized. This is Columbia University's scan of the 1649 second edition, printed for Giles Calvert, the great publisher of radical religion.
