II. The Shame, Deformity, and all natural Filthiness of a naked Person doth appear; 'tis visible, and he is thereby exposed to Reproach: So the Shame, Deformity, and Vileness of wicked Men, who are spiritually naked, (having not the Righteousness of Christ to cover them) doth appear; and this exposeth them to Shame and Reproach. Sin is the Shame of any People. To see a Man naked,1 that hath a rotten ⟨p. 248⟩and polluted Carcass, full of Sores and stinking Ulcers, is a loathsome Sight: But such is the State of the Souls of ungodly Men, they are naked, and their inward Filthiness lies fully open to the Eyes of the great God, nay, and much of it appears to the Sight of Men; spiritually there is no Soundness in them, from the Crown of their Heads to the Soles of their Feet,2 nothing but Wounds, Bruises, and putrefying Sores.
