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.

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

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

i_o shall_v speak_v more_o full_o to_o this_o in_o my_o follow_a discourse_n the_o three_o particular_a be_v in_o what_o land_n or_o state_n this_o song_n may_v be_v experimental_o and_o real_o sing_v 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 participate_v of_o the_o love_n &_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o the_o place_n the_o land_n of_o babel_n be_v stranger_n to_o they_o then_o the_o wilderness_n for_o in_o the_o wilderness_n they_o be_v deliver_v from_o their_o enemy_n and_o in_o babel_n they_o be_v restrain_v from_o their_o liberty_n by_o their_o enemy_n so_o that_o they_o can_v say_v but_o they_o be_v restrain_v from_o sing_v this_o song_n so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v confine_v to_o be_v prisoner_n and_o therefore_o do_v they_o complain_v of_o the_o decay_n of_o zion_n because_o zion_n be_v the_o city_n of_o their_o

as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 102._o psalm_n and_o the_o 19_o verse_n the_o lord_n have_v look_v down_o from_o the_o height_n of_o his_o sanctuary_n to_o hear_v the_o groan_a of_o the_o prisoner_n

experience_v that_o god_n do_v make_v it_o his_o desire_n to_o keep_v those_o engagement_n that_o he_o have_v make_v to_o they_o as_o it_o be_v often_o mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n though_o they_o have_v break_v their_o engagement_n as_o to_o their_o particular_a and_o general_a fail_n yet_o god_n be_v so_o tender_a lest_o he_o shall_v break_v his_o part_n as_o that_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v stand_v and_o meditate_v before_o he_o will_v any_o way_n insist_v upon_o any_o urgent_a or_o austere_a punishment_n and_o do_v often_o invite_v they_o to_o return_v and_o review_v their_o way_n and_o turn_v to_o repentance_n for_o their_o backslide_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n on_o they_o and_o defer_v his_o anger_n god_n be_v just_a and_o merciful_a and_o it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o do_v ever_o break_v any_o engagement_n to_o any_o person_n or_o people_n for_o as_o his_o promise_n have_v be_v to_o his_o people_n many_o time_n but_o conditional_o for_o as_o he_o

will_v not_o keep_v his_o law_n or_o perform_v their_o part_n that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o own_o will_n and_o their_o own_o desire_n and_o let_v they_o go_v on_o in_o their_o own_o filthiness_n until_o they_o have_v fulfil_v the_o desire_n of_o their_o own_o way_n and_o then_o he_o will_v take_v the_o rod_n and_o scourge_v they_o so_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o this_o parricular_a god_n be_v as_o just_a in_o perform_v this_o part_n of_o his_o covenant_n as_o he_o be_v in_o perform_v the_o other_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o entailment_n of_o

to_o the_o contrary_a as_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v his_o word_n though_o a_o people_n do_v offend_v he_o and_o vex_v his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o be_v instance_a by_o his_o promise_n to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n in_o relation_n to_o his_o cause_v their_o seed_n to_o inherit_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o although_o his_o people_n do_v oftentimes_o offend_v and_o vex_v his_o holy_a
