A96104	Jerusalems glory, or, the saints safetie in eying the churches security, wherein is shewed the captives redress: being an invitation to all the different minded men in the world to become one; with the advantage of unity, and the danger of variety from the example of the saints and servants of God, as well in former as these latter times. Offered to the view of the 97 builders imployed in that work, for the building of the true temple, and all others. / By Thomas Watson, a lover of peace.

by_o due_a right_n to_o themselves_o and_o glory_v in_o so_o do_v and_o delight_v themselves_o in_o bird_n and_o four_o footed_a beast_n and_o creep_a thing_n more_o than_o in_o the_o creator_n from_o

they_o become_v covenant-breaker_n as_o the_o apostle_n instance_n they_o be_v without_o natural_a affection_n implacable_a and_o unmerciful_a therefore_o i_o say_v beware_v of_o idolatry_n and_o do_v not_o make_v it_o your_o business_n to_o worship_v these_o and_o such_o like_a god_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v it_o plain_o phil._n 3.19_o who_o god_n be_v their_o belly_n and_o who_o glory_n be_v
