Forneworth Nakednesse a signe or figure When the Lord spake to Isay in the year that Tartan came to Ashdod at the same time spake the Lord by Isay the son of Amos saying go and loose thy sackcloth from off thy loynes and put off thy shoes from off thy feet And he did so walking naked and barefoot and the Lord sayd like as my servant Isay hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a signe and a wonder upon Egypt and Ethiopia Isay 20.1.2.3 So shal the King of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners and the Ethiopians Captives young and old naked and barefoot even with their buttocks uncovered to the shame of Egypt and they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation and of Egypt their glory 4 5. Verses Now if the Lord in this generation speak to any to put off their gawdy attire and to go in sackcloth and to be a figure to the people that so should all the pride and glory of the world and of the pomp and Egyptian craft be cast off and layd aside That would be a wonder to this generation to them that trust in flesh and go down to Egypt for help and if the Lord should in this generation cause one to put off his garments and his shoes and go naked and barefoot three dayes to shew to all that as he is naked and barefoot three dayes before them without covering so must they be all uncovered and their shame nakednesse appear before the Lord and before all it would make them startle they would wonder at it in this Egyptian proud lustful generation as they wondered at Esay when he went naked and barefoot 3. years for a signe The Lord saith strip go make you bare cast off all your cloaths of dishonesty and do not cover you with a profession and pretence of godlinesse and still walk in craftinesse guile and deccit for your shame shall appear and all your covers will be too narrow to hide you for the vail is renting away that hath been spread over all nations Woe to the crown of pride behold ye despisers wonder and perish for I will work a work in your dayes which you will in no wise believe though a man declare it to you beware least that come upon you which is spoken of in the Prophets Read and understand shame and confusion is coming upon all Egypt Ethiopia and Idumea and the people of Gods curse one woe is past and behold a second woe is coming Dwell in the light which is the condemnation of the ungodly for all they that are contrary to the light are without the cloathing of God among such doth the Lord send some of his Children to go naked and put off their cloaths a figure and a signe of their nakednesse who are naked from god and cloathed with the filthy garments so ye all dwelling in the light which never changeth ye stumble not but are led out of darknesse and from among the unbeleivers where the signes are sent and such as are from God which light leads up to God in which is the unity so in the light all dwell FINIS Printed for Giles Calvert at the black spread Eagle neer the West end of Pauls 1655.
