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.

all_o man_n as_o man_n have_v by_o nature_n unto_o god_n as_o unto_o their_o supreme_a lord_n and_o creator_n wherefore_o in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o all_o law_n which_o command_v

the_o say_a mind_n will_n and_o word_n of_o god_n be_v of_o this_o nature_n that_o be_v first_o they_o be_v such_o law_n as_o have_v a_o manifest_a inconsistency_n either_o with_o the_o law_n write_v

the_o reformation_n itself_o which_o be_v that_o all_o worship_n which_o be_v christian_a and_o foederal_a be_v to_o be_v give_v to_o god_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n and_o that_o whatever_o

in_o thing_n relate_v to_o worship_n and_o religion_n for_o as_o a_o prince_n authority_n in_o thing_n civil_a be_v unquestionable_a and_o enterfere_n with_o no_o law_n of_o god_n whatever_o and_o can_v have_v no_o pretence_n therefore_o to_o entrench_v upon_o the_o conscience_n or_o upon_o any_o prior_n obligation_n or_o duty_n that_o a_o man_n owe_v unto_o god_n and_o as_o it_o must_v for_o all_o these_o reason_n be_v necessary_o and_o indispensable_o obey_v and_o submit_v unto_o by_o all_o his_o subject_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o prince_n especial_o as_o a_o protestant_n can_v put_v out_o no_o law_n about_o divine_a worship_n but_o his_o subject_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v protestant_n be_v bind_v in_o conscience_n and_o by_o the_o very_a principle_n of_o that_o religion_n which_o they_o profess_v not_o only_o to_o consider_v it_o but_o to_o examine_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o not_o and_o if_o it_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v such_o at_o least_o according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o their_o understanding_n as_o they_o will_v have_v a_o plea_n always_o not_o to_o submit_v to_o it_o by_o reason_n it_o intrench_v upon_o a_o prior_n obligation_n so_o this_o plea_n can_v well_o with_o justice_n be_v deny_v they_o if_o no_o crime_n whatever_o in_o their_o conversation_n can_v be_v prove_v against_o they_o nor_o

and_o suffer_v by_o they_o especial_o see_v their_o nonconformity_n to_o the_o say_a law_n proceed_v not_o as_o we_o say_v either_o from_o their_o election_n or_o liberty_n nor_o yet_o from_o any_o breach_n of_o duty_n or_o affection_n to_o their_o prince_n but_o only_o from_o what_o appear_v to_o they_o to_o be_v a_o inevitable_a or_o indispensable_a necessity_n that_o arise_v and_o be_v

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
