A86442	Some observations upon a sermon bearing the name of Mr. Astley's; preached in opposition to a testimony, and sign unto them, of their spiritual nakedness; wherein he is found to wrest and pervert the scriptures : to be ignorant of the truth, as it is in Jesus; and consequently no minister of Christ, &c. / By a lover of the truth, John Hogg.

by nakednesse were meant altogether naked then his feet would have been Naked as well as the rest Obs In his first reasoning to prove that Isa was not all naked he sayes it is not said put off both thy Shoes but put off a Shoe which is in contradiction to his foregoing reason that he said might convince His second reason to convince that Isa was not all Naked because no necessitie for it by the sign he was to be Egypt sayes he c. was to be led away with their Buttocks uncovered Infersing that this was all that Isaiah was to be a Sign of contrary to the Scriptures which saith like as my Servant Isa hath walked naked and barefoot c. Obs So shall the Egyptians be led away naked and bare foot and to express the shame more fully even with their Buttocks bare to the shame of Egypt c. Thus he hath truly shown the vanity of his own Immaginations according to his promise by wresting and perverting the Scripture and in contradicting himselfe as First Isa was but to put off a Shoe Secondly to put off nothing but his Sackcloth And lastly makes use of the being barefooted all this his confused work has been to prove Isa was but part naked contrary to the Scriptures c. 3. His third Immagination considered which because it carryes most show of verity with it being the case to which we both agree though as he hath stated it verbatim we should not yet for brevityes sake and avoiding wrangling with a Charitable allowance Shall be willing to joyn Issue with him that the Nakedness may be truly found they faith he pretend to A Divine call unto which they say they are to be Obedient in short thus if this fall to the ground saith he their nakedness will appear naked indeed Obs we grant it and therefore if it be found to the contrary R. A. must appear according to his conblusion of us c. His first Argument stated to prove no need of Inspiration c. is If the Scriptures be able to make the man of God perfect and throughly furnished to every good work and word then sayes he no need of extraordinary calls c. And that the Scriptures are truth and able to make a man perfect this can scarcely be denyed 2 Tim. 3.16 17. this is the substance of his Assertion Mostly false-yet some of it true in some sence so is not to be answered fully as it 's stated altogether c. Obs First I shall grant that the Scriptures are able to make the man of God wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus as they were Timothy 2 Tim. 3.15 but I affirm that that man which is made wise unto salvation by the Scriptures must have the same faith that Timothy and all the Men of God had Col. 1.27 Gal. 1.16 John 16.13 Rom. 8.14 15 16. and such know that Christ is in them read 2 Cor. 13.5 And this knowledge I may boldly say R. A. has not because he affirms nothing greater then the Scriptures to be the guide of Man So denyes the Spirit of God to guide or lead him and none are his Sons of God but those who are led by his Spirit Again I grant according to the Scriptures that they being given by Inspiration are profitable for reproofe c. 2 Tim. 3.16 that the man of God mind may be throughly furnished They do not say that of themselves they are able to furnish him much less to make another man perfect to every good work as his words would Insinuate For one proof of this himselfe shall be the Example whose work by this discourse is proved imperfect So his Assertion that the Scriptures leaving out faith in Jesus Christ are able to make a man perfect is false c. Further Obs the Scriptures does not speak of furnishing any but the Man of God but only furnish him Then the quaery is how they are profitable to such a man for if a Man of God then hath been born of God so hath ceased to commit sin having overcome the Evil one John 3.9 by the Seed of God which remaineth in him he is in Christ Jesus therefore no condemnation to him because he walkes after the Spirit Rom. 8.1.2 3 4. for by walking after the Spirit is the righteousness of the Law fulfilled in him So comes to the end of the Scriptures reproving and correcting him Ro. 10.4 Ro. 6.14 Tit. 2.11 thus the man of God is come to the end of the Law for Righteousness sake So is not under the Law but under Grace Yea that grace which hath appeared to all men by which he hath so learned that it need not to be said unto him know the Lord John 2 27-29 nor need he any man to reach him but as that annointing teacheth him Obs the Law was added because of Transgression untill the Seed came to whom the promise was made Gal. 3 19-24 so was the Schoolmaster to bring to Christ Again Obs all guifts given to Men by Christ for the work of the Ministry is to bring to him Ephe. 4 11-14 where they all end in him Gal. 3.25 Heb. 5.6 Isa 9.5 6. to them which is come to the true Faith for such are come to him whom they know the Priest for ever whose lips preserve knowledge and to be their Leader with the Government upon his shoulder whom they know is com'd the Wonderful Counsellour according to the promise of the Father thus the man of God is Taught not of the Scriptures only but of God But now to shew how the Scriptures do furnish the man of God First they are generally received as true Secondly in that respect they are as a Law unto the lawless Further it is the man of God only that can speak them in due season by the guidance of Gods Spirit which brings them to his remembrance and opens them from which at first they were given forth thus the man of God furnished by them now to Reprove Corect or Instruct the Apostatized Christians that are setting up the Form of godlyness by Immitation of the Scriptures being both Ignorant of the life and power which the Ancient Christians had and lived in denying the Spirit to be the Absolute guide into all truth preferring the Scriptures before it like the Jews who preferred them before Christ thus is your state parralel to the Jews which would not believe though the Scriptures testified of him therefore in that State could see him to be no more but the Carpenters Son whilest others that believed in him saw him to be the Son of God that though now the Scriptures testifie Joh. 1 10. That that is the true Light which lighteneth every man coming into the World yet you not believing in it can see it but to be as a natural thing whilst others which believes in it Sees it to be the Light of the Son of God Thus what can be done
