Naked Men desire Clothes, they will beg hard for something to cover their Nakedness: But the Wicked are unsensible of their Nakedness, and therefore seek not to be clothed; nay, like mad Men, refuse Raiment. We read, Luke 8.27. of a Man possessed with a Legion of Devils, and the Text saith, he wore no Clothes; his Madness is evidenced by that, he would suffer no Clothes to be put upon him. 'Tis a Sign Men are spiritually possessed with a Legion of Devils, that refuse to put on the Garment of Faith and Holiness to cover their Nakedness. These Garments are held forth every day to be sold (without Money, and without Price) in the Ministry of the Word; but so mad are ungodly Men, they had rather go naked, than lay hold on them, and put them on. And is it not just, that such Men should be buried in Hell,1 in their own Rags, that will not embrace Christ and Holiness, that they may be clothed with eternal Salvation?
