No Weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn this is the Heritage of the Servants of the Lord and their righteousness is of me saith the Lord Isa 54.17 Tho Lawson John Slee LONDON Printed for Giles Calvert at the Black-spread-Eagle at the West end of Pauls 1655. AN Vntaught toungless Teacher laid open The unsound Doctrines of M. C. B. T. witnessed against 1. HE said severall times to us that he knew not what the tongue of the learned was being asked what it was I answer here out of thy own mouth thy shame and nakedness is laid open and to every wise man whose eye is in his head art thou made manifest to be the lying mouth which Jeremiah who had the tongue of the learned witnessed against who bore witness from the mouth of the Lord against such as run and were not sent of the Lord so did not profit the people at all Jer. 23.32 here thou art thy own mouth hath declared it who is gone forth calles the selfe a teacher yet confesses thou knowes not what thy tongue of the learned is Isay had the tongue of the learned given him to minister a word in season to the weary Isay 50.4 he did not minister till he had received the tongue of the learned for thereby he knew what to minister as he saith but thou takes upon thee to minister before thou receive the tongue of the learned or know what it is never did any of the holy men of God minister till they received the tongue of the learned but thou in thy own will art run unsent confessing thou knowes not what it is stop thy mouth thou lyer thou evil Beast who runs up and down pushing at the Ministers of the everlasting Gospel with thy horns such Paul called evill Beasts lyars and slow bellies Titus 1.10 11. who run and were not sent as thou dost who yet knowes not what the tongue of the learned is who subverts whole houses all that flock after thee taking upon thee to teach others and art untaught thy self only hast treasured up the letter in thy corrupt minde and ministers it forth to others as thou imagines of it so steals the word from others as the false Prophets did which Jeremiah cryed against Jer. 23.30 and the Lord is against thee as he was against them who stole words one from another as thou hast stollen the words of the Prophets Christ and his Apostles and treasures them up in thy corrupt minde but knowes not the tongue of the learned as thy fore-fathers did not who stole the word from their Neighbours so be ashamed of thy Ministry 2. He said he ministted from the word of truth otherwise called the Scripture through the assistance of the spirit of God I answer to say that the word of truth is called the Sctipture or that the Scripture is called the word of truth that is a lie search the Scripture and therein shew it me where the Scripture is called the word of truth thy ignorance of the word of truth here appeares as of the tongue of the learned 2 Tim. 2.15 Tymothy rightly divided the word of truth but he came not by the will of man and he was a Minister of the spirit and not of the letter and James he said Of his own will begat he us by the word of truth James 1.18 is this the Scripture is it the Scripture by which God works reforms changes sanctifies and begets again or is it not the incorruptible seed which is the word of God the word of truth which lives and endures for ever 1 Pet. 1.23 24 25. doth the Scripture live doth it endure for ever is it the incorruptible seed doth the Father work and beget a new by it or by his Son who is the way the truth and the life now thou may say we deny the Scripture because we bow not to thy fancies opinions but the Scripture we own to be a true declaration Luke 1.1 testifying of him who from the womb of love is given to bruise the Serpents head in whom and by whom God changes reforms converts sanctifies justifies and begets anew John 5.39 40. this is the word of truth of it the Scripture testifies 3. And he said he ministered from the Scripture through the assistance of the spirit of God I answer the blind may lead the blind and deceive the blind but the seeing deny all blind guides such as thou art who saith thou ministers from the letter here thou art shut out from all the holy men of God who were Ministers of the spirit and not of the letter as Paul was 2 Cor. 3.6 but thou art a Minister of the letter and not of the spirit as thou makes it appear who confesses thou knowes not what the tongue of the learned is and holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the holy Ghost 2 Pet. 1.21 4. And thou tells of the assistance of the spirit I answer for shame give over and lay aside thy covers and pretences what tell of the spirit could not tell me what the Cross of Christ is what art thou so impudent and shameless as to tell of the assistance of the spirit and yet acknowledges thou knows not what is the tongue of the learned let the wise in heart judge and the least in the knowledge of God consider if thou be not in confusion one of Babels builders which God is comming to throw down and thy pretence of the spirit will not hide thee who ministers the letter in the dead minde and keeps in death such as follow thee and search the Scripture and own thy example the false Prophets in the dayes of Jeremiah who had not the tongue of the learned had nothing from the mouth of the Lord but got the words of the true Prophets and did pretend the spirit and did use their tongues saying the Lord saith when as

Againe Mathew Caffyn said that the Scripture doth so farr reveale God and Christ to a Creature as that he walking up to its revelation to his lives end with a single heart shall be eternally saved I answer let all who know any thing of God judge if thou do not herein shut out thy selfe both from the knowledge of the Father and the Son so art a heathen not knowing God Math. 11.27 no man knows the Son but the Father neither knows any man the Father but the Son and he to whom the Son reveals him herethou art Antichrist pulling the Crowne from off his head and giving it to the Scripture saying the Scripture reveals God and Christ c when as the Scripture saith the Son reveals the Father here thou wrests the Scripture out of its place which doth but testifie of Christ John 5.39.40 and sets it in the roome of Christ 1 Cor. 2.10 God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit for the Spirit searches all things yea the deep things of God and thou saist the Scripture reveals here thou sets the Scripture in the room of the Spirit Gal. 1.15.16 Paul said God revealed his Son in him so he preached him among the heathen Paul said God reveals his Son and thou saies the Scripture reveals him herein thou hast set the Scripture in the room of God saying the Scripture reveals the Son when as the Scripture saith God reveals his Son herein hast thou set the Scripture in the roome of God Christ and the Spirit and that which may be knowne of God is manifest in man for God hath shewed it unto him Rom. 1.19 and the Lord reveals his secrets to his servants Amos 3.7 and 1 Jo. 5.12 he that hath the Son hath life he that hath not the Son hath not life who onely gives an understanding heart to know him that is true 1 Jo. 5.20 here without life thou art and without the knowledge of him that is true saying the Scripture reveals God c. When as the Scripture saith it is the Son alone that gives an understanding heart to know him that is true O lier see thy folly and unsound doctrines The Angel is sounding and a Star from Heaven is falne unto the earth who hath the Key of the bottomless pit the same to open and smoke arises apace Rev. 9.1.2 the wise see and consider 9. Mathew Caffyn said that there is so much of God and Christ revealed in the Scriptures to men as through faith therein is a sufficient means of salvation I answer what hast thou to do to tell of salvation whose mouth is full of lies and under whose lips doth the poyson of asps appeare and for condemnation thou art who denies the Father Son and Spirit and sets the Scripture in the place thereof powres forth heresies corrupt doctrines and denies him whom we witness to be able to save to the utmost such as come to him Heb. 7.25 this is the stone which such unskillfull builders as thou denies and sets the Scripture in his place in whom alone is salvation Acts 4.10.11.12 but him thou knows not so lives in vaine jangling and the sufficient meanes which thou speaks on hath not saved thee and thou that would set up any thing in the roome of Christ in whom alone is salvation or in thy devillish reason would set up any thing with Christ to adde to his sufficiency to save man him thou knows not but art for condemnation with the light which shews the sin and evill which thou acts contrary to 10. Matthew Caffyn said no man hath eternall life now in him as possessing it but a promise of it 1 Joh. 2.25 I answer thou art turned from the light wherewith Christ hath enlightned thee which guides all that love it up to life so the earth is seated in thee where the beast and false Prophet lodges and the promise which to thee is promised is the lake of fire burning with brimstone Rev. 19.21 that is the promise to the beast and false Prophet and he is the beast who is out of the truth and whether thou be out of the truth yea or nay let thy lying fables witnesse and he is the false Prophet who runs but is not sent of the Lord and whether thou be sent of the Lord yea or nay let thy lies thy own words witness who hast run so long and yet confesses thou knows not what the tongue of the learned is and thou that lives contrary to the light knows not what they come to enjoy and possesse who obey the light which comes from Christ and leads to him who is eternall life 1 Jo. 4.3 every Spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God and this is that Spirit of Antichrist whereof you have heard that it should come and even now already is it in the world but thou may say thou knows and confesses he came in the flesh 1655 yeares since that we know and the Pope confesses Christ as neare him as thou but thou art Antichrist who dost not know him ruling in thy mortall body this they witnessed to whom these words were spoken they were Children and had overcome them and were of God 1 Jo. 4.4 this they knew not by talking of him without them but by possessing him in them who is greater then he that is in the world even Jesus who is eternall life 1 Io. 4.4 Io. 5.24 some had everlasting life some were passed from death to life 2 Cor. 4.10.11 Paul spake of the life of Jesus being manifest in the mortall body and the life of Jesus is eternall and 1 Io. 5.11 12 13 20. saith Iohn this is the record that God hath given to us eternall life c. and these things have I written c. that ye may know you have eternall life and they were in the true God and eternall life how ignorant art thou of the letter and yet dare call thy selfe a Minister of Christ and 1 Io. 4. he that confesses that Jesus is the Son of God God dwelleth in him and he in God and he that dwells in God dwells in eternall life God is eternall life Io. 6.54 11. Mathew Caffyn said that no man while he is upon earth comes to the end of faith I answer thou art exercising thy selfe in things that be too high for thee why art thou speaking of the end of faith who hast not faith as a graine of musterdseed which removes mountains The end of faith is the salvation of the soul 1 Pet. 1.9 which the Apostle spoke of What dost thou presse after thou wilt say after the salvation of the soul What and if any come to enjoy that which thou presses after wilt thou envy them or deny the goodness of God towards them Math. 1.21 Christ was given to save from sin Paul and those he speaks of were already saved 2 Tim. 1.9 Hed. 7.25 he is able to save to the uttermost the ingrafted word
