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.

do_v not_o come_v so_o frequent_o as_o they_o be_v use_v to_o do_v for_o he_o that_o know_v not_o how_o to_o suffer_v with_o he_o never_o know_v how_o to_o rejoice_v with_o he_o and_o he_o that_o be_v he_o know_v how_o to_o do_v both_o but_o let_v not_o any_o one_o mistake_v i_o herein_o and_o think_v that_o i_o conclude_v that_o every_o one_o that_o suffer_v must_v suffer_v for_o christ_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o hardly_o do_v ever_o read_v that_o any_o moralist_n can_v suffer_v for_o what_o he_o do_v maintain_v or_o seek_v to_o maintain_v if_o he_o can_v any_o way_n prevent_v his_o

they_o know_v that_o as_o i_o do_v not_o conclude_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v void_a of_o reason_n so_o also_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o moral_a reason_n of_o man_n to_o find_v out_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o as_o concern_v war_n i_o must_v count_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n in_o fashion_n in_o our_o day_n and_o for_o i_o to_o seek_v to_o alter_v this_o fashion_n i_o shall_v lie_v liable_a to_o the_o censure_n of_o man_n yet_o let_v the_o scripture_n be_v true_a and_o have_v that_o respect_n to_o they_o that_o you_o shall_v have_v and_o then_o let_v i_o be_v what_o you_o please_v i_o shall_v be_v brief_a in_o this_o particular_a at_o this_o time_n only_o refer_v you_o to_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o leave_v with_o his_o disciple_n mat._n the_o 26._o and_o 52_o &_o 53._o verse_n put_v up_o thy_o sword_n again_o into_o his_o place_n for_o all_o they_o that_o take_v the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v with_o the_o sword_n think_v thou_o that_o i_o can_v now_o pray_v to_o my_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v give_v i_o more_o than_o 12_o legion_n of_o angel_n but_o how_o then_o shall_v the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v that_o thus_o it_o

because_o you_o ask_v not_o you_o ask_v and_o receive_v not_o because_o you_o ask_v amiss_o that_o you_o may_v consume_v it_o upon_o your_o lust_n he_o that_o be_v a_o friend_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o as_o you_o read_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o chronicle_n 28._o and_o 3._o but_o god_n say_v unto_o i_o thou_o shall_v not_o build_v a_o house_n for_o my_o name_n because_o thou_o have_v be_v a_o man_n of_o war_n and_o have_v shed_v blood_n so_o that_o if_o that_o temple_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v build_v by_o blood_n that_o be_v but_o a_o type_n of_o the_o true_a temple_n sure_o the_o true_a temple_n can_v be_v build_v with_o blood_n or_o war_n but_o in_o peace_n it_o be_v not_o that_o egypt_n be_v righteous_a enough_o to_o build_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n though_o they_o may_v be_v make_v a_o scourge_n to_o edom_n as_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v to_o israel_n i_o will_v not_o accuse_v a_o defensive_a sword_n because_o i_o have_v see_v that_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n be_v not_o all_o of_o they_o make_v know_v to_o any_o one_o man_n but_o i_o can_v find_v that_o any_o disciple_n of_o christ_n shall_v use_v a_o moral_a sword_n as_o he_o be_v a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n or_o a_o builder_n of_o the_o true_a temple_n for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o builder_n of_o the_o true_a temple_n ought_v not_o to_o take_v revenge_n against_o his_o enemy_n but_o commit_v his_o cause_n to_o the_o lord_n to_o who_o vengeance_n belong_v and_o therefore_o christ_n bid_v we_o to_o forgive_v our_o enemy_n lest_o we_o shall_v seek_v vengeance_n where_o god_n seek_v none_o for_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o condemn_v where_o god_n justify_v and_o to_o set_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o seat_n where_o be_v any_o of_o god_n messenger_n but_o have_v receive_v this_o censure_n from_o the_o man_n of_o their_o time_n therefore_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v liable_a to_o this_o fail_v christ_n warn_v we_o not_o to_o judge_v our_o brethren_n lest_o we_o be_v judge_v for_o to_o his_o own_o master_n he_o stand_v or_o fall_v nay_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o judge_v according_a to_o what_o it_o appear_v to_o we_o john_n 7.24_o judge_v not_o according_a to_o appearance_n but_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n and_o no_o man_n can_v judge_v by_o appearance_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o he_o will_v doubt_v whether_o he_o judge_v right_a or_o not_o therefore_o as_o we_o can_v measure_v god_n love_n let_v we_o forbear_v judge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v better_a than_o other_o lest_o we_o undervalue_v christ_n suffering_n but_o as_o concern_v a_o offensive_a war_n i_o find_v not_o any_o ground_n in_o scripture_n for_o it_o and_o if_o any_o man_n can_v show_v i_o any_o scripture_n for_o it_o since_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n at_o which_o time_n the_o testament_n be_v of_o force_n i_o shall_v not_o take_v it_o ill_o at_o his_o hand_n for_o i_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n as_o to_o flatter_v any_o one_o job_n 17.5_o he_o that_o

friend_n but_o the_o kiss_n of_o a_o enemy_n be_v deceitful_a but_o some_o one_o may_v object_n why_o do_v not_o christ_n bid_v the_o soldier_n lay_v down_o their_o arm_n that_o come_v to_o ask_v he_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v he_o do_v not_o disencourage_v they_o in_o their_o undertake_n but_o bid_v they_o do_v violence_n to_o no_o man_n and_o be_v content_a with_o their_o wage_n i_o answer_v that_o any_o man_n that_o be_v a_o perfect_a performer_n of_o this_o part_n of_o his_o duty_n may_v give_v a_o just_a account_n of_o his_o action_n but_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o he_o that_o advise_v they_o to_o that_o command_v also_o that_o they_o shall_v love_v their_o enemy_n and_o bless_v they_o that_o curse_v they_o &_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o despiteful_o use_v they_o mat._n 5.44_o so_o shall_v you_o approve_v yourselves_o child_n of_o your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o i_o suppose_v that_o christ_n do_v never_o advise_v any_o of_o his_o disciple_n to_o go_v to_o war_n with_o the_o worst_a of_o their_o enemy_n nor_o to_o fight_v for_o a_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n but_o rather_o suffrr_v by_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n if_o one_o must_v be_v and_o as_o for_o his_o advice_n to_o the_o soldier_n i_o suppose_v it_o be_v rather_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o break_v their_o engagement_n in_o what_o they_o be_v engage_v in_o as_o in_o respect_n to_o their_o governor_n or_o their_o loyalty_n to_o their_o promise_n rather_o than_o his_o own_n of_o the_o war_n to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o those_o for_o who_o they_o fight_v be_v such_o as_o christ_n do_v condemn_v to_o be_v mere_a worldling_n and_o therefore_o how_o can_v their_o cause_n be_v good_a and_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o advise_v they_o to_o break_v their_o engagement_n but_o to_o act_v truth_n that_o those_o who_o he_o have_v speak_v against_o for_o do_v of_o injustice_n may_v not_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o accuse_v he_o of_o neither_o in_o advice_n nor_o action_n for_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a but_o only_o in_o their_o action_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o honour_v or_o dishonour_v of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o very_a vain_a thing_n for_o any_o one_o to_o think_v they_o be_v spiritual_o

it_o with_o their_o blood_n &_o not_o by_o pray_v to_o saint_n and_o martyr_n but_o to_o observe_v and_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o do_v i_o mean_v the_o work_n that_o they_o do_v and_o to_o praise_n god_n in_o the_o same_o way_n as_o they_o do_v and_o in_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o let_v we_o seek_v to_o press_v forward_o towards_o the_o price_n of_o the_o high_a call_v of_o god_n and_o ascribe_v honour_n to_o who_o honour_n be_v due_a i_o desire_v you_o my_o belove_a friend_n yea_o every_o one_o to_o who_o this_o small_a treatise_n shall_v come_v to_o serious_o consider_v with_o your_o own_o heart_n how_o far_o you_o be_v behind_o with_o the_o lord_n in_o this_o particular_a by_o reason_n of_o our_o unthankfulness_n that_o we_o have_v secure_v ourselves_o with_o under_o the_o banner_n of_o form_n and_o customary_a service_n and_o have_v not_o look_v into_o the_o inside_n of_o thing_n to_o eat_v the_o kernel_n of_o the_o nut_n as_o well_o as_o gather_v the_o husk_n and_o the_o shell_n as_o the_o nut_n can_v in_o no_o wise_n grow_v without_o the_o shell_n and_o husk_n so_o no_o man_n can_v experience_n the_o taste_n of_o the_o kernel_n by_o eat_v and_o feed_v of_o nothing_o but_o the_o leave_n and_o the_o husk_n of_o the_o nut_n god_n look_v as_o well_o to_o thy_o heart_n as_o to_o thy_o tongue_n therefore_o if_o thou_o pray_v to_o god_n look_v that_o thy_o heart_n be_v join_v to_o thy_o tongue_n and_o that_o thy_o tongue_n speak_v no_o more_o but_o the_o real_a symptom_n of_o thy_o heart_n and_o that_o thy_o heart_n be_v chief_o bend_v upon_o the_o do_n of_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o not_o upon_o the_o beggarly_a rudiment_n of_o the_o world_n for_o if_o thorough_a practice_n or_o custom_n of_o other_o you_o frame_v any_o prayer_n only_o so_o

set_v a_o high_a price_n of_o word_n than_o they_o shall_v do_v but_o consider_v the_o word_n be_v chiesly_a to_o thyself_o in_o thy_o heart_n and_o therefore_o consider_v that_o thy_o heart_n be_v join_v with_o thy_o tongue_n especial_o in_o prayer_n and_o praise_n to_o god_n for_o if_o thy_o prayer_n or_o praise_n to_o god_n be_v build_v upon_o no_o more_o durable_a a_o rock_n than_o formal_a

applause_n and_o these_o will_v get_v uppermost_a in_o thy_o agitation_n and_o so_o thou_o will_v cause_v the_o more_o noble_a and_o excellent_a wheat_n corn_n to_o be_v choke_v by_o the_o tare_n

to_o leave_v this_o upon_o any_o small_a occasion_n for_o if_o one_o must_v be_v leave_v then_o farewell_n procession_n for_o i_o must_v leave_v thou_o to_o embrace_v honour_n &_o riches_n &_o

the_o affliction_n that_o god_n dear_a and_o choice_a child_n be_v incident_a and_o liable_a to_o in_o this_o life_n i_o shall_v only_o give_v you_o as_o brief_a a_o definition_n as_o i_o can_v only_o to_o give_v you_o a_o introduction_n into_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v my_o intention_n to_o speak_v more_o full_o to_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o christian_a in_o this_o life_n as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o
