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.

just ground to examine her Doctrines or Authority by it and to withdraw from her or to assert there is a necessity that divers things should be reformed in her And for this Reason it is therefore that she neither hath any Subjects nor can or will admit of any to be her Subjects whether of the Laity or Clergy who will not withdraw their Obedience immediately from the Letter of the said word and from the Authority of it and give it to her as a Church Which injury against the Authority of the Scripture or written Letter of the word of it as it is therefore knowingly wittingly and willingly committed by the Church of Rome must for this cause be much the greater But the greatness and heinousness of it is made most manifest by that Argument which the Apostle useth Heb. 2.2 3. Heb. 10.28 29. Heb. 12.25 For if the Law or Covenant of Moses how divine soever was given to the Church nevertheless by one that was no more than a Servant only in Gods house And if that the Grace and Truth which came by Jesus Christ was given us by the only Son of God who was properly the Lord himself of the House Then a Sin or Crime done purposely against the Gospel of Christ and out of a real intent or design to turn men from the express Word or Letter of that Law or Covenant which was set up by Christ must be a far greater Evil or Impiety against God than the like sin attempted against the Law of Moses with a purpose or intent to turn men from the Letter and express Word of it There is such Force and Strength in this Argument added to what hath been already said as there needs no more to be said to manifest the abominableness of this Evil and therefore we shall herewith conclude this Discourse as with that great word of Truth which ought in this case to be most of all pondered and considered by them whom it most concerns For if it were evil in any even in him that had the name of a Prophet to turn men from the Law or from the Word of Moses who was but the Servant of God with an intent that they should rely upon another word different from it even upon his Word or upon such a Sign or Wonder as was wrought by him who did desire so to turn them from Moses and if this was such an Evil as was by Gods own Command to be punished absolutely with Death Then how much greater evil must it be in the sight of God to go about to turn men from the express Word and Law of the Lord Christ who was the only begotten Son of God with an intent that they should rely upon another Word different from it and to do this not only wilfully but avowedly and professedly by preaching to men openly that it is not their duty to rely upon the Word of Christ as it is immediately and expresly set down by the Holy Spirit but upon the Church only and what the Church shall declare to them concerning the said Word and when to effect this also the better men shall throw so great Contempt and Scandal upon the said Word as to affirm it to be so dark and confused that no certain or infallible Sence either is in it or can possibly be had from it And if this sin were the greater under the Law because of those Miracles which God had wrought by Moses to testifie him to be the Servant of himself Then it must be an aggravation of the said sin under the Gospel Because God hath not only by Miracles but even by Moses himself and by many other means and ways in his Providence born a far greater Testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ than ever he did bear unto Moses and hath abundantly manifested That he was the Only begotten Son of himself And if any man under the Law that did attempt to turn men from the word of the said Law was to be accounted as a false Prophet much more then ought he to be so accounted that doth both with all Industry and set Design indeavour to do this under the Gospel FINIS
