A43640	The third part of Naked truth, or, Some serious considerations, that are of high concern to the ruling clergy of England, Scotland, or any other Protestant nation and also a discovery of the excellency of the Protestant religion as it stands in opposition to papistical delusions, being a representation of what is the true glory of Protestants, and what are the base, contemptible and ridiculous principles, on which those that are called Roman Catholicks do build, as upon the sand being very necessary for all Protestant families in this present juncture of time.; Naked truth.

popish_a clergy_n do_v punish_v man_n viz._n for_o their_o worship_a god_n and_o for_o their_o worship_v of_o he_o not_o contrary_a to_o the_o scripture_n or_o contrary_a to_o any_o thing_n that_o

that_o do_v suffer_v and_o that_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o protestant_a clergy_n be_v the_o same_o also_o with_o those_o that_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o popish_a clergy_n that_o be_v such_o man_n as_o be_v neither_o unblamable_a in_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o accuse_v or_o charge_v by_o they_o with_o or_o for_o any_o crime_n or_o any_o immorality_n in_o their_o life_n and_o conversation_n but_o such_o as_o otherwise_o demean_v themselves_o in_o all_o duty_n and_o with_o all_o subjection_n to_o their_o superior_n i_o say_v if_o both_o these_o be_v the_o very_a same_o one_o with_o another_o wherein_o do_v the_o essential_a difference_n lie_v between_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o popish_a clergy_n and_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o protestant_a clergy_n unless_o it_o be_v strict_o in_o this_o that_o the_o protestant_a clergy_n do_v pretend_v to_o believe_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v the_o supreme_a rule_n and_o mind_n of_o god_n to_o his_o church_n and_o if_o ask_v do_v free_o grant_v that_o man_n be_v not_o bind_v in_o conscience_n to_o any_o rule_n superior_a to_o this_o nor_o can_v be_v bind_v in_o the_o thing_n of_o faith_n or_o in_o thing_n relate_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n to_o any_o rule_n above_o this_o and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o they_o own_o this_o they_o persecute_v their_o brethren_n not_o only_o in_o their_o liberty_n but_o in_o their_o good_n fortune_n and_o estate_n and_o sometime_o in_o their_o life_n also_o through_o nasty_a prison_n and_o want_v of_o convenience_n for_o acknowledge_v the_o say_a scripture_n to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o themselves_o do_v own_o they_o to_o be_v and_o for_o that_o they_o according_o conform_v to_o their_o own_o principle_n whereas_o the_o popish_a clergy_n though_o they_o persecute_v man_n for_o the_o same_o crime_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o give_v so_o much_o honour_n to_o the_o scripture_n nor_o do_v so_o much_o as_o pretend_v to_o it_o but_o which_o of_o these_o two_o be_v for_o this_o very_a cause_n the_o great_a crime_n before_o god_n may_v be_v leave_v to_o all_o rational_a man_n to_o consider_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o be_o most_o sure_a of_o this_o that_o whereas_o our_o first_o reformer_n do_v call_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n antichristian_a and_o do_v charge_v she_o with_o innocent_a blood_n and_o do_v put_v the_o name_n of_o scarlet-whore_n for_o this_o reason_n upon_o she_o yet_o now_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a the_o stain_n and_o discredit_v of_o it_o be_v in_o her_o eye_n manifest_o lessen_v if_o it_o be_v not_o whole_o blet_v out_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v ever_o hereafter_o grant_v these_o thing_n to_o be_v stain_n or_o crime_n proper_a only_o to_o she_o which_o she_o do_v not_o only_o see_v but_o can_v daily_o observe_v some_o protestant_a church_n or_o other_o to_o follow_v she_o in_o upon_o such_o ground_n as_o be_v far_o less_o justifiable_a in_o the_o say_a protestant_n church_n according_a to_o the_o principle_n they_o profess_v than_o they_o be_v in_o herself_o and_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o thing_n ever_o to_o be_v hope_v or_o expect_v from_o she_o hereafter_o be_v the_o more_o clear_a in_o regard_n the_o say_a church_n of_o rome_n have_v already_o in_o so_o many_o word_n sharp_o and_o close_o retort_v it_o upon_o the_o protestant_a church_n so_o that_o the_o

according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o some_o protestant_a church_n have_v not_o only_o imitate_v she_o in_o but_o have_v outgo_v she_o and_o have_v do_v so_o much_o worse_a than_o she_o ever_o do_v by_o how_o much_o we_o have_v contradict_v the_o principle_n we_o profess_v which_o she_o have_v not_o and_o that_o she_o have_v cast_v this_o as_o a_o reproach_n upon_o we_o in_o word_n and_o have_v

and_o blood_n by_o instance_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o protestant_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o therein_o have_v exonerate_v herself_o from_o the_o sole_a gild_n of_o this_o

far_o more_o unjust_a upon_o the_o principle_n we_o profess_v as_o protestant_n than_o she_o be_v upon_o she_o own_o principle_n how_o much_o so_o ever_o we_o have_v please_v to_o inveigh_v against_o

be_v pure_a matter_n of_o fact_n one_o of_o these_o two_o conclusion_n therefore_o do_v seem_v to_o be_v impossible_a to_o be_v avoid_v viz._n that_o either_o we_o have_v do_v very_o evil_a in_o charge_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n as_o antichristian_a and_o in_o charge_v she_o as_o guilty_a of_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o saint_n which_o be_v mention_v rev._n 17.6_o which_o must_v nevertheless_o be_v inevitable_o charge_v some_o where_n and_o very_o evil_a to_o impose_v the_o name_n of_o scarlet-whore_n and_o of_o babylon_n upon_o she_o or_o if_o the_o protestant_a church_n have_v say_v all_o this_o real_o in_o judgement_n and_o real_o in_o truth_n against_o she_o then_o have_v some_o protestant_a church_n do_v much_o worse_a themselves_o in_o be_v actual_o guilty_a of_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o have_v be_v so_o criminal_o charge_v upon_o she_o and_o if_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v guilty_a of_o innocent_a blood_n than_o none_o that_o be_v sober_a can_v doubt_v but_o she_o must_v at_o length_n be_v liable_a to_o the_o extreme_a judgement_n of_o god_n for_o it_o and_o therefore_o if_o any_o protestant_a church_n have_v follow_v she_o in_o that_o very_a gild_n the_o same_o judgement_n must_v as_o unquestionable_o come_v upon_o they_o and_o perhaps_o more_o severe_a and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o protestant_a church_n may_v be_v awaken_v to_o consider_v their_o great_a danger_n in_o this_o case_n if_o they_o have_v be_v persecutor_n of_o their_o brethren_n i_o need_v do_v no_o more_o than_o to_o lay_v before_o they_o the_o express_a

of_o it_o or_o do_v not_o at_o least_o dare_v to_o trust_v to_o it_o wherefore_o if_o the_o say_a church_n or_o the_o clergy_n rather_o as_o the_o ruler_n of_o it_o mere_o upon_o these_o ground_n

say_v therefore_o that_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o difficulty_n be_v because_o the_o prince_n have_v the_o character_n or_o repute_v only_o of_o a_o secular_a authority_n have_v not_o that_o

do_v relate_v to_o religion_n as_o the_o clergy_n may_v and_o by_o reason_n of_o this_o though_o a_o prince_n may_v in_o other_o thing_n have_v never_o so_o great_a a_o ability_n of_o judgement_n and_o though_o he_o be_v never_o so_o absolute_a or_o supreme_a yet_o he_o be_v deny_v the_o right_n of_o this_o judgement_n as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o
