the_o meaning_n be_v pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n i._n e._n pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o commonweal_n and_o especial_o we_o for_o the_o peace_n of_o

weâ—e_v in_o no_o less_o danger_n than_o jerusalem_n and_o they_o great_a than_o it_o by_o far_o juda_n be_v his_o kingdom_n israel_n be_v his_o people_n jerusalem_n be_v but_o his_o city_n though_o his_o metropolis_n some_o great_a reason_n sure_o then_o that_o jerusalem_n be_v make_v choice_n of_o rather_o than_o juda_n his_o kingdom_n or_o israel_n his_o people_n sure_o a_o kingdom_n be_v better_a than_o a_o city_n and_o the_o people_n of_o the_o kingdom_n better_o than_o either_o kingdom_n or_o city_n let_v we_o see_v then_o what_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n that_o jerusalem_n be_v make_v choice_n of_o and_o prefer_v before_o juda_n or_o israel_n be_v it_o because_o as_o the_o orator_n say_v the_o city_n be_v not_o the_o wall_n the_o street_n and_o the_o house_n but_o the_o people_n and_o so_o while_o king_n david_n say_v pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n he_o intend_v pray_v for_o peace_n among_o the_o people_n of_o jerusalem_n this_o may_v be_v a_o reason_n but_o this_o can_v be_v the_o main_a reason_n be_v it_o then_o because_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n through_o out_o all_o the_o land_n be_v bind_v thrice_o the_o year_n at_o easter_n at_o pentecost_n and_o the_o feast_n of_o tabernacle_n 16.16_o deu._n 16.16_o to_o come_v up_o and_o worship_n at_o jerusalem_n this_o come_v nigh_o the_o main_a reason_n especial_o if_o you_o receive_v for_o truth_n the_o opinion_n of_o some_o who_o say_v this_o psalm_n be_v prophetical_o make_v to_o sing_v by_o the_o way_n when_o they_o go_v up_o by_o the_o step_n to_o the_o temple_n and_o yet_o this_o can_v be_v the_o main_a reason_n for_o at_o these_o three_o time_n the_o male_n only_o come_v up_o the_o woman_n stay_v at_o home_n and_o peace_n sure_o be_v as_o necessary_a and_o as_o necessary_a to_o be_v pray_v for_o among_o woman_n as_o among_o man_n among_o man_n and_o woman_n as_o among_o man_n and_o man_n the_o main_a as_o i_o take_v it_o why_o jerusalem_n be_v name_v and_o not_o juda_n or_o jsrael_n be_v double_a not_o so_o much_o because_o jerusalem_n be_v the_o city_n and_o throne_n of_o david_n as_o because_o it_o be_v the_o throne_n and_o city_n of_o god_n god_n call_v it_o his_o house_n this_o be_v my_o house_n 132_o psalm_n 132_o here_o will_v i_o dwell_v at_o this_o time_n when_o david_n pen_v this_o psalm_n the_o tabernacle_n be_v there_o but_o afterward_o there_o be_v the_o temple_n too_o and_o god_n be_v say_v to_o dwell_v in_o both_o the_o tabernacle_n and_o temple_n both_o and_o both_o these_o be_v the_o type_n of_o christendom_n jerusalem_n where_o both_o these_o stand_v be_v only_o make_v choice_n of_o and_o david_n say_v pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n intend_v thus_o much_o o_o god_n make_v all_o thy_o true_a worshipper_n wheresoever_o over_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n to_o be_v of_o one_o heart_n and_o we_o must_v pray_v now_o o_o god_n send_v unity_n and_o unanimity_n into_o all_o christendom_n jerusalem_n be_v name_v not_o the_o peace_n of_o juda_n not_o the_o peace_n of_o jsrael_n because_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o state_n i._n e._n of_o juda_n and_o israel_n depend_v much_o if_o not_o altogether_o upon_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n i._n e._n the_o church_n you_o never_o see_v the_o church_n divide_v in_o opinion_n but_o by_o and_o by_o you_o see_v the_o commonweal_n run_v into_o rebellion_n when_o micaiah_n the_o true_a prophet_n be_v confront_v by_o zedekiah_n the_o false_a prophet_n by_o and_o by_o the_o kingdom_n lose_v his_o peace_n i_o can_v give_v you_o a_o sad_a instance_n of_o this_o in_o germany_n and_o a_o near_a instance_n of_o this_o in_o england_n but_o god_n have_v prevent_v the_o plot_n and_o now_o pray_v we_o for_o the_o compliment_n of_o it_o that_o our_o churchman_n may_v be_v of_o one_o judgement_n for_o matter_n of_o doctrine_n and_o of_o one_o heart_n for_o matter_n of_o affection_n that_o once_o prince_n and_o peer_n and_o people_n may_v go_v hand_n in_o hand_n and_o we_o enjoy_v the_o peace_n of_o our_o jerusalem_n amen_n and_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o give_v you_o the_o sum_n of_o these_o three_o excellent_a part_n of_o my_o
