of_o 9_o job_n 14._o 8._o 9_o the_o water_n as_o job_n speak_v and_o break_v forth_o into_o this_o extacy_n of_o divine_a affection_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o psalm_n i_o be_v glad_a when_o they_o say_v unto_o i_o let_v we_o go_v into_o the_o house_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o foot_n shall_v stand_v within_o thy_o gate_n o_o jerusalem_n now_o the_o spring_n of_o reason_n that_o feed_v

3._o verse_n jerusalem_n be_v build_v as_o a_o city_n compact_v together_o how_o ever_o other_o man_n eye_n look_v scornful_o upon_o jerusalem_n as_o have_v no_o beauty_n nor_o comeliness_n in_o it_o yet_o the_o godly_a man_n see_v of_o all_o the_o society_n in_o the_o world_n not_o such_o beauty_n as_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n second_o his_o propriety_n he_o have_v in_o it_o or_o the_o

of_o the_o lord_n to_o the_o testimony_n to_o praise_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v the_o beauty_n because_o there_o be_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n the_o fountain_n of_o all_o beauty_n and_o there_o be_v his_o second_o relation_n and_o propriety_n in_o that_o there_o be_v the_o company_n of_o all_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n there_o he_o set_v throne_n for_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o then_o he_o come_v to_o his_o second_o affection_n which_o be_v answerable_a to_o the_o other_o and_o but_o a_o counter-pane_n of_o it_o his_o love_n express_v itself_o in_o both_o and_o that_o be_v his_o ardent_a desire_n for_o the_o good_a of_o jerusalem_n begin_v in_o the_o verse_n that_o i_o have_v read_v and_o this_o ardent_a desire_n break_v forth_o and_o express_v itself_o in_o a_o

in_o the_o next_o verse_n peace_n be_v within_o thy_o wall_n and_o prosperity_n within_o thy_o palluce_n and_o then_o the_o spring_n of_o reason_n that_o feed_v this_o love_a affection_n of_o desire_n and_o make_v it_o in_o continual_a motion_n be_v answerable_a to_o the_o former_a he_o look_v upon_o jerusalem_n in_o the_o double_a relation_n mention_v before_o 1_o for_o my_o brethren_n and_o

in_o it_o a_o mandate_n and_o a_o motive_n the_o mandate_n pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n the_o motive_n to_o put_v we_o upon_o it_o they_o shall_v prosper_v that_o love_n thou_o in_o either_o of_o these_o there_o may_v be_v 3._o thing_n observable_a first_o there_o can_v be_v a_o better_a employment_n for_o christian_n than_o prayer_n pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n second_o we_o can_v aim_v at_o a_o better_a blessing_n in_o prayer_n than_o peace_n pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n three_o there_o be_v not_o a_o near_a relation_n we_o have_v to_o any_o for_o who_o we_o shall_v wish_v all_o good_a then_o to_o jerusalem_n pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n this_o be_v the_o direct_a gradation_n of_o the_o verse_n but_o i_o shall_v handle_v it_o in_o a_o retrogradation_n beginning_n at_o the_o last_o first_o the_o near_a relation_n a_o christian_n have_v to_o any_o for_o who_o he_o shall_v wish_v all_o good_a be_v to_o jerusalem_n pray_v for_o jerusalem_n second_o the_o great_a blessing_n be_v peace_n pray_v for_o the_o peace_n three_o the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n to_o gain_v peace_n be_v prayer_n pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n there_o be_v as_o many_o thing_n observable_a in_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o the_o text_n the_o motive_n that_o be_v use_v let_v they_o prosper_v that_o love_n thou_o first_o we_o can_v but_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n if_o we_o love_v she_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n we_o love_v not_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n if_o we_o will_v not_o do_v so_o much_o as_o set_v forward_o her_o peace_n by_o prayer_n there_o be_v a_o second_o thing_n too_o imply_v in_o the_o other_o translation_n let_v they_o prosper_v that_o love_n thou_o our_o pray_v for_o the_o church_n give_v we_o a_o share_n in_o all_o the_o church_n prayer_n we_o have_v a_o venture_n in_o every_o ship_n of_o prayer_n that_o make_v a_o voyage_n for_o heaven_n if_o our_o heart_n be_v willing_a to_o pray_v for_o the_o church_n and_o if_o not_o we_o have_v no_o share_n in_o it_o last_o all_o our_o prosperity_n depend_v upon_o the_o prosperity_n of_o the_o church_n and_o our_o desire_n for_o the_o prosperity_n of_o it_o they_o shall_v prosper_v it_o be_v a_o certain_a thing_n all_o that_o love_v the_o church_n of_o god_n shall_v prosper_v and_o prosperity_n only_o belong_v to_o they_o and_o there_o can_v be_v more_o effectual_a inducement_n to_o persuade_v man_n to_o this_o duty_n than_o these_o be_v i_o know_v there_o be_v so_o many_o sand_n in_o the_o text_n that_o shall_v i_o observe_v they_o all_o the_o glass_n will_v outrun_v i_o i_o shall_v therefore_o contract_v all_o into_o one_o observation_n and_o so_o prosecute_v it_o in_o many_o particular_n brief_o that_o so_o i_o may_v comprehend_v the_o main_a of_o the_o text_n and_o shall_v propound_v it_o thus_o doct._n it_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o christian_n to_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o to_o provoke_v other_o to_o do_v the_o like_a and_o all_o their_o own_o good_a depend_v upon_o it_o for_o the_o open_n of_o the_o point_n to_o be_v very_o brief_a in_o it_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n concern_v the_o object_n that_o i_o shall_v give_v a_o little_a enlargement_n to_o to_o take_v the_o full_a meaning_n of_o the_o point_n and_o also_o two_o branch_n concern_v the_o act_n which_o be_v to_o be_v perform_v there_o be_v a_o double_a object_n 1._o for_o who_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o peace_n that_o be_v jerusalem_n 2._o and_o what_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o for_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v peace_n i_o must_v express_v brief_o what_o be_v mean_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o peace_n which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o
