The Visions - Zosimus
"A warning for England, especially for London, in the famous history of the frantick Anabaptists; their wild preachings and practices in Germany"
It's a short tract about the Münster rebellion written in 1642. It's incredibly well written compared to most of the other stuff from that period, so if you have an interest in reading about violent mystics trying to destroy European society, give this one a go.
One of my favourite passages:
>Now whilest the people were thus standing thick together hearkning unto their new Prince, Knipperdoling suddenly leaps up & creeps with his hands and feet upon the heads of the crowded multitude, and breathing into their mouths, the Father (saith he) santifies thee, receive the holy spirit...
