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.

friend_n and_o david_n a_o man_n after_o cod_n own_o heart_n and_o therefore_o god_n give_v this_o restimony_n of_o it_o as_o he_o witness_v that_o he_o will_v and_o do_v delight_v himself_o in_o

he_o have_v it_o psalm_n 76.2_o zion_n be_v the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o psalm_n 84._o and_o 7._o they_o go_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n every_o one_o of_o they_o in_o zion_n appear_v before_o god_n and_o so_o the_o song_n of_o zion_n arise_v from_o the_o occasion_n of_o god_n deal_v with_o his_o people_n in_o that_o dispensation_n that_o he_o show_v and_o manifest_v

that_o the_o occasion_n of_o their_o song_n have_v relation_n to_o some_o conquest_n or_o other_o that_o they_o have_v gain_v either_o over_o moral_a enemy_n as_o man_n or_o spiritual_a lustful_a wickedness_n in_o their_o heart_n wherein_o they_o have_v experience_v god_n love_n in_o some_o way_n or_o other_o more_o than_o usual_a but_o i_o suppose_v the_o song_n that_o these_o baby_n lonian_n

because_o it_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o this_o our_o purpose_n in_o this_o particular_a for_o that_o song_n that_o be_v demand_v of_o israel_n be_v such_o a_o hymn_n wherein_o be_v mirth_n to_o

be_v that_o israel_n make_v their_o mirth_n and_o what_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o mirth_n or_o sing_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o song_n be_v chies_o occasion_v by_o their_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o egyptian_n the_o song_n chief_o consist_v of_o praise_n to_o their_o god_n who_o they_o own_v to_o be_v their_o strength_n and_o their_o salvation_n and_o their_o deliverer_n as_o be_v manifest_v quite_o through_o the_o whole_a song_n therefore_o i_o say_v the_o song_n of_o zion_n that_o be_v here_o make_v mention_n of_o be_v praise_n to_o their_o god_n for_o their_o deliverance_n from_o their_o open_a and_o manifest_a enemy_n and_o in_o deuteronomy_n the_o 32._o there_o we_o have_v moses_n sing_v another_o song_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o this_o praise_v god_n for_o all_o his_o mercy_n in_o keep_v and_o deliver_v his_o people_n say_v it_o be_v the_o lord_n alone_o that_o have_v deliver_v they_o and_o that_o they_o have_v not_o in_o the_o least_o deserve_v it_o at_o his_o hand_n again_o we_o have_v deborah_n and_o barak_n sing_v a_o song_n of_o the_o same_o in_o judges_z the_o 5._o in_o remembrance_n of_o what_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v for_o israel_n in_o make_v use_n of_o so_o mean_v a_o instrument_n as_o a_o woman_n to_o take_v a_o king_n prisoner_n it_o be_v god_n say_v they_o that_o go_v forth_o to_o fight_v the_o battle_n yea_o the_o star_n fight_v in_o course_n against_o sisera_n yea_o they_o fight_v from_o heaven_n thus_o i_o say_v the_o song_n of_o israel_n or_o the_o hebrew_n song_n as_o some_o translate_v it_o or_o the_o song_n of_o zion_n as_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o and_o demand_v of_o these_o jew_n be_v praise_n to_o our_o god_n for_o their_o deliverance_n and_o ascribe_v of_o

first_o stumble_v block_n that_o occasion_v a_o people_n unsufficiency_n to_o sing_v this_o song_n of_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 1_o of_o the_o lamentation_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n and_o the_o 8_o verse_n jerusalem_n have_v grievious_o sin_v therefore_o she_o be_v remove_v all_o that_o honour_v she_o despise_v she_o yea_o this_o prophet_n be_v the_o messenger_n send_v oftentimes_o to_o bid_v and_o warn_v these_o people_n to_o teturn_v from_o their_o evil_a way_n as_o you_o may_v read_v at_o large_a in_o his_o

be_v not_o a_o little_a manifest_v for_o though_o the_o king_n do_v burn_v the_o role_n that_o he_o have_v present_v in_o defiance_n of_o his_o word_n yet_o be_v he_o as_o willing_a to_o write_v another_o at_o the_o command_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o ever_o he_o be_v to_o write_v the_o first_o that_o if_o it_o have_v be_v possible_a to_o have_v wrought_v any_o good_a upon_o they_o he_o will_v

prophet_n have_v see_v vain_a and_o foolish_a thing_n for_o thou_o they_o have_v see_v for_o thou_o false_a burden_n and_o cause_n of_o banishment_n it_o seem_v a_o please_a and_o melodious_a vision_n that_o these_o prophet_n do_v see_v for_o israel_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v too_o to_o frequent_v with_o most_o if_o not_o all_o people_n if_o they_o once_o bend_v their_o mind_n to_o any_o one_o vanity_n to_o hear_v such_o prophecy_n as_o will_v secure_v they_o as_o they_o think_v from_o be_v in_o any_o guilt_n if_o they_o shall_v practice_v and_o follow_v that_o vanity_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o ancient_a heathen_a that_o if_o any_o man_n do_v speak_v well_o of_o any_o of_o his_o practice_n that_o he_o will_v ask_v he_o what_o it_o be_v that_o he_o ask_v he_o for_o for_o he_o suppose_v that_o if_o any_o man_n do_v speak_v high_o of_o he_o it_o be_v to_o deceive_v he_o that_o he_o may_v gain_v honour_n or_o a_o reward_n by_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o have_v a_o fervent_a affection_n for_o those_o that_o do_v most_o seem_v to_o envy_v he_o say_v he_o have_v none_o that_o instruct_v he_o more_o than_o his_o enemy_n for_o be_v sure_a that_o if_o they_o know_v that_o he_o do_v offend_v they_o will_v not_o hide_v it_o but_o will_v reproach_v he_o for_o it_o whereby_o he_o come_v to_o know_v in_o part_n how_o far_o he_o do_v offend_v in_o the_o thing_n i_o wish_v many_o christian_n have_v not_o a_o worse_a rule_n than_o this_o second_o god_n sury_n be_v the_o second_o cause_n by_o which_o a_o people_n be_v make_v destitute_a of_o sing_v this_o song_n for_o as_o sin_n be_v the_o first_o motive_n cause_n so_o god_n fury_n be_v the_o effect_v cause_n of_o their_o unsufficiency_n for_o when_o god_n be_v move_v by_o sin_n to_o afflict_v a_o people_n and_o that_o he_o have_v wait_v a_o long_a time_n it_o may_v be_v day_n after_o day_n and_o week_n after_o week_n and_o year_n after_o year_n and_o yet_o can_v see_v no_o hope_n of_o

in_o fury_n it_o will_v tot_fw-mi return_v void_a of_o effect_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o be_v move_v so_o that_o whilst_o god_n be_v a_o take_a vengeance_n upon_o a_o people_n they_o can_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v say_v to_o be_v sensible_a of_o sing_v this_o song_n for_o the_o song_n be_v praise_n to_o god_n for_o deliverance_n and_o no_o people_n can_v sing_v this_o song_n unless_o the_o lord_n be_v reconcile_v to_o they_o as_o a_o friend_n in_o love_n and_o peace_n three_o or_o the_o three_o thing_n that_o hinder_v a_o people_n from_o sing_v this_o song_n be_v the_o want_n of_o the_o lord_n

in_o for_o this_o first_o we_o must_v understand_v it_o be_v only_o to_o be_v sing_v in_o the_o land_n of_o deliverance_n and_o herein_o do_v it_o answer_v with_o a_o perfect_a coherence_n to_o the_o text_n as_o it_o be_v open_v for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o place_n that_o hinder_v they_o from_o sing_v this_o song_n but_o it_o be_v the_o want_n of_o god_n power_n to_o assist_v they_o in_o any_o place_n that_o make_v the_o land_n seem_v strange_a for_o a_o people_n to_o sing_v this_o song_n israel_n can_v not_o account_v the_o wilderness_n a_o strange_a land_n by_o reason_n they_o can_v sing_v it_o there_o &_o though_o it_o be_v as_o strange_a a_o land_n as_o babylon_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o acquaintance_n with_o the_o place_n but_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o
