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.

the_o only_a ground_n upon_o which_o we_o can_v as_o christian_n have_v any_o expectation_n of_o salvation_n and_o life_n and_o therefore_o the_o whole_a interest_n and_o concern_v of_o our_o soul_n at_o least_o as_o we_o be_v protestant_n do_v and_o must_v stand_v entire_o upon_o the_o say_a word_n which_o thing_n if_o they_o can_v possible_o any_o way_n be_v deny_v then_o the_o disobey_v of_o all_o such_o law_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o worship_n as_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o which_o at_o least_o appear_v not_o to_o be_v so_o be_v a_o thing_n whole_o

the_o other_o in_o the_o mind_n of_o we_o as_o we_o be_v breed_v protestant_n viz._n that_o god_n be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o be_v worship_v nor_o will_v accept_v of_o any_o other_o worship_n from_o we_o as_o christian_n but_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n which_o two_o principle_n see_v by_o virtue_n of_o our_o education_n they_o make_v but_o one_o indeed_o in_o our_o heart_n as_o we_o be_v protestant_n they_o do_v and_o must_v constrain_v we_o assoon_o to_o abandon_v all_o worship_n itself_o unto_o god_n as_o to_o abandon_v that_o worship_n which_o be_v proper_o agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n because_o so_o far_o as_o we_o abandon_v this_o we_o do_v abandon_v all_o worship_n that_o be_v according_a to_o our_o principle_n as_o protestant_n either_o acceptable_a with_o god_n or_o agreeable_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n wherefore_o if_o to_o these_o two_o we_o shall_v add_v the_o three_o ground_n of_o its_o rise_n which_o be_v as_o certain_a also_o as_o either_o of_o the_o other_o viz._n that_o we_o neither_o have_v hope_n in_o god_n nor_o any_o promise_v make_v we_o by_o god_n further_o than_o as_o we_o obey_v he_o in_o his_o word_n or_o further_o than_o as_o we_o worship_v he_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o it_o i_o say_v these_o three_o thing_n be_v now_o joint_o consider_v and_o serious_o weigh_v by_o we_o what_o man_n be_v there_o or_o what_o man_n can_v there_o be_v who_o firm_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o salvation_n and_o life_n who_o will_v not_o run_v any_o hazard_n rather_o than_o forbear_v what_o he_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n or_o rather_o than_o he_o will_v observe_v such_o a_o worship_n unto_o god_n as_o he_o can_v but_o know_v or_o can_v at_o least_o but_o very_o believe_v to_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o mind_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o word_n if_o it_o be_v evil_a then_o for_o any_o man_n to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v indispensible_o to_o be_v worship_v after_o some_o manner_n or_o another_o or_o evil_a for_o a_o man_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o rule_n of_o his_o will_n or_o mind_n to_o we_o as_o we_o be_v christian_n but_o his_o word_n and_o therefore_o no_o other_o rule_n wherein_o his_o worship_n be_v contain_v beside_o his_o word_n or_o if_o it_o be_v evil_a to_o expect_v that_o god_n will_v most_o true_o faithful_o and_o full_o perform_v his_o promise_n to_o we_o if_o we_o shall_v serve_v he_o according_a to_o his_o word_n and_o not_o otherwise_o i_o say_v if_o any_o of_o these_o three_o thing_n be_v evil_a than_o it_o may_v be_v evil_a to_o disobey_v any_o law_n relate_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n though_o it_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o his_o word_n but_o if_o none_o of_o these_o thing_n be_v evil_a in_o themselves_o they_o can_v never_o make_v any_o man_n evil_a who_o simple_o conform_v to_o they_o i_o say_v not_o simple_o for_o his_o conformity_n how_o strict_o or_o entire_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v and_o therefore_o if_o these_o three_o principle_n be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o create_v a_o necessity_n of_o our_o compliance_n with_o they_o even_o as_o we_o be_v rational_a

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 immediate_a influence_n upon_o religion_n itself_o or_o upon_o religious_a people_n which_o the_o clergy_n have_v for_o as_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v that_o a_o prince_n shall_v have_v that_o knowledge_n so_o neither_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v any_o way_n so_o conversant_a in_o or_o so_o attendant_a upon_o the_o affair_n controversy_n and_o dispute_n which_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

clergy_n therefore_o single_o for_o this_o reason_n even_o because_o of_o their_o mere_a call_v and_o relation_n to_o religion_n to_o be_v considerable_a in_o every_o nation_n both_o for_o power_n and_o interest_n 5_o that_o though_o they_o dare_v not_o mere_o because_o of_o their_o call_v any_o way_n challenge_v a_o order_n or_o superiority_n above_o the_o prince_n nor_o can_v yet_o they_o

second_o because_o she_o do_v not_o bare_o excommunicate_a man_n but_o do_v also_o persecute_v they_o and_o do_v deprive_v they_o both_o of_o their_o estate_n liberty_n and_o live_v upon_o a_o

in_o their_o life_n but_o mere_o for_o obey_v what_o they_o sincere_o judge_v to_o be_v the_o law_n mind_n and_o will_v of_o god_n and_o mere_o for_o believe_v that_o his_o whole_a law_n will_n and_o mind_n to_o his_o church_n as_o a_o church_n especial_o relate_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o himself_o be_v contain_v in_o his_o word_n three_o because_o by_o this_o persecution_n as_o it_o be_v extend_v to_o the_o extreme_a punishment_n of_o person_n both_o in_o their_o liberty_n and_o good_n and_o sometime_o in_o their_o life_n by_o stink_a prison_n and_o want_n of_o necessary_n she_o do_v

who_o withstand_v her_o command_n and_o who_o be_v otherwise_o in_o all_o thing_n blameless_a both_o as_o to_o their_o moral_n life_n and_o conversation_n i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n

for_o which_o our_o first_o reformer_n themselves_o call_v her_o antichristian_a and_o sometime_o bloody_a and_o sometime_o the_o scarlet_a whore_n and_o if_o these_o three_o thing_n when_o at_o any_o time_n mention_v with_o reference_n to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v still_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v evil_a and_o so_o style_v to_o this_o day_n so_o far_o as_o it_o concern_v she_o yea_o if_o these_o three_o thing_n be_v at_o this_o very_a present_a in_o our_o controversy_n with_o that_o church_n not_o only_o charge_v upon_o she_o but_o cast_v in_o her_o tooth_n among_o many_o other_o thing_n by_o way_n of_o reproach_n and_o to_o set_v forth_o the_o just_a ground_n that_o we_o even_o as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n as_o well_o as_o other_o church_n have_v both_o of_o exception_n against_o and_o hatred_n of_o she_o must_v not_o these_o three_o thing_n be_v much_o more_o evil_a in_o a_o protestant_a church_n who_o after_o she_o have_v condemn_v all_o these_o thing_n not_o

herself_o leave_v to_o practice_v they_o without_o condemn_v herself_o at_o all_o in_o they_o and_o must_v not_o this_o practice_n cast_v a_o manifest_a blemish_n and_o reproach_n upon_o on_o she_o
