CLOATHING FOR THE Naked Woman OR The second part of THE DISSEMBLING SCOT SET FORTH IN HIS COLOVRS Being a Corection of Mr. DAVID BROVVN His errors in his Pamphlet called THE NAKED WOMAN stiled also by him A RARE EPISTLE to Mr. STERREY PROV 26.5 Answer a Foole according to his folly lest he be wise in his own Conceit Written by the Minister of CHRIST-CHVRCH London in vindication of him and his flock from those false aspersions which are cast upon them of false Doctrine and Discipline Whereunto is added THE NEW CREED or beliefe in GOD. LONDON Printed and are to be sould by Giles Calvert at the black spread Eagle at the West end of Pauls Anno Dom. 1652. CLOATHING FOR THE Naked Woman SInce the Author of the naked woman hath alleadged that Time is one of the most precious Jewels under the Sunne and that upon the well or ill spending of time dependeth Eternity either of weale or woe Much hath Mr. Brown to answer for who hath so much mispent it in making medlyes of frivilous discourses that he might amongst the rest of his tedious stuffe shufle in the old Rotten rags of his own rage against some religious persons whom he envieth and laboureth to make odious to the World But if he aymed only at the glory of God he would not have built a Scaffold upon the Dunghill of the Ranters to publish his abominable lyes against such Godly people who abhorre the practises both of them and him and if he desired from the bottom of his heart the undeceiving of those wretched miserable poore blind naked deluded and bewitched people who are conceited of the Raritie of their Ranting fooleries as he is of his rare Epistle then he would have taken a better course and instead of sounding a Trumpet about her have been so modest as to turne away the peoples eyes from beholding vanity and much more should he have sought to take away that false principle upon which the Ranters build their carnall exercises for he is a Physitian of no value who seeketh not into the cause as well as the Cure And that I may not be fruitless to the Reader I thought good to minde you that the ground wherefore the Ranters hold the sinfullest deed to be as holy as the purest act is because the whole life and power of motion both in men and Angells good and bad cometh Originally from GOD and therefore they conclude that the poore creature can do no otherwise then what it alwayes doth and may do what it listeth and is drawn forth to evill by the great power of God and the dispensation of his good Spirit who they affirme hath decreed determined commanded necessitated and drawn them forth to kill steale commit Adultery Idolatry and all manner of wickednesse which they lust to do all which they say comming from God who giveth power ability and activity to all must needs be and is still good agreeable to his will and not evill in the least manner or measure but as pure and holy as the holyest of all and that what man doth God doth and man hath no more power then a stock or a stone to move to evill or good but as God moves and that they do it not but God doth it by them and if they sinne they think they do no more then God would have them do and that they are therefore never out of his favour or Communion by any thing which they doe or can doe they think their holinesse cannot bring them nearer to God nor their prophaneness draw them further from him But herein they erre have not the knowledge of God for albeit that all power and ability comes from God so that the same hand that doth good doth evill also and the same tongue that blesseth God curseth men Iam. 3 9. yet the misaplication of that power is theirs and nothing else is or can be sin but the abusing of that ability which God hath given It s true by the power which God hath given to men they do such devilish actions But that God gave them abillities and powers purposely to misaply the same is to set himselfe against himself and to make himself the Author of sinne and like the Devill himselfe who is the Father of a Lye Iohn 8.44 Now the misaplying of mens created faculties and misgovernment of them selves is a derogation from the Creation of God Rom. 1.20 by which the invisible things of Gods power and Godhead are cleerly seen And the misaplying of the divine Ordinances of God is a swarving from his holy institutions So then God is the God of all life motion and action both in Angels and Devils good men and bad but not of the misapplication thereof and in abillity without misapplication thereof is not the essentiall cause of mens damnation If the poore creature could never have done otherwise he could not have been blamed nor left without excuse Prov. 10.22 therefore the poore creature hath or had abillity to do better once God is neither the Author of sinne nor of sorrow Ezek. 18 32. He hath no pleasure in the death of him that dyeth sinners destruction is of themselves neither sin nor temptation to sin cometh from him though sometimes he permit sinne to punish sin in his Justice Let no man say when he is tempted I am tempted of God Iam. 1 13 14 15 16 17. for God cannot be tempted with evill neither tempteth he any man But every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and entised then when Lust hath conceived it bringeth forth sinne and sinne when it is finished bringeth forth death Do not erre my b●loved Brethren Every good gift and ever● perfect gift is from above and cometh downe from the Father of lights with whom is no variableness neither shadow of changing Hence it followeth that God hath neither decreed commanded determined or drawn them forth to do such devilish actions God is only good and all good proceedeth from him as the Fountaine I am 3.11 ●ut of which there cannot proceed sweet water and bitter Evill proceedeth from the Devill that wicked one sinne is contrary to the will of God and man hath ability given him of God not to do evill but good This then is the message which we have heard of him and declare unto you that God is Light and in him is no darkness at all If we say we have Fellowship with him and walk in darkness we lye and do not the truth but if we walk in the light as he is in the light we have Fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sinne 1 John 1.7 8 9. My Conclusion is that so long as men misaply the powers and faculties God hath given them they commit sin and are the servants of sin And those that do not at all apply their abillities are evill and sloathfull servants Iohn
