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
