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. Watson, Thomas, d. 1686. 1661 (1661) Wing W1131; Thomason E1856_4; ESTC R210370 59,985 120

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

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

learning_n be_v very_o good_a take_v it_o in_o its_o place_n for_o we_o can_v be_v no_o servant_n of_o god_n but_o by_o utterance_n &_o manifestation_n but_o this_o be_v my_o end_n that_o no_o man_n 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 and_o thistle_n in_o thy_o more_o worthy_a land_n or_o vineyard_n for_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o deep_a root_n in_o religion_n than_o this_o thou_o will_v soon_o be_v bring_v and_o easy_o be_v win_v 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

and_o the_o loss_n of_o honour_n and_o estate_n if_o i_o continue_v in_o this_o way_n it_o be_v good_a and_o honourable_a but_o now_o it_o be_v base_a i_o have_v have_v have_v the_o company_n of_o

god_n be_v one_o thing_n to_o day_n and_o a_o contrary_a the_o next_o day_n only_o for_o money_n and_o self-end_n this_o be_v one_o way_n of_o worship_v god_n so_o call_v but_o i_o fear_v it_o be_v

that_o thou_o have_v to_o spend_v in_o this_o world_n but_o the_o end_n will_v prove_v the_o bitter_a the_o wicked_a of_o man_n may_v seem_v to_o have_v a_o rest_n yea_o a_o pleasant_a one_o to_o

must_v give_v a_o exact_a account_n of_o all_o thy_o action_n in_o the_o end_n do_v but_o mind_v what_o solomon_n say_v of_o it_o eccles_n 11.9_o rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n and_o

all_o these_o thing_n god_n will_v bring_v thou_o into_o judgement_n therefore_o remove_v sorrow_n from_o thy_o heart_n and_o put_v away_o evil_a from_o thou_o therefore_o i_o say_v look_v well_o yea_o narrow_o to_o thy_o way_n lest_o whereas_o you_o think_v to_o build_v a_o tabernacle_n fit_a to_o entertain_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o your_o profession_n you_o deceive_v yourselves_o and_o build_v a_o altar_n to_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o prince_n of_o datkness_n in_o deceit_n to_o thy_o soul_n ruin_v and_o eternal_a torment_n but_o to-shew_a you_o more_o plain_o the_o description_n of_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 thing_n how_o to_o bear_v the_o afflict_a &_o try_v scourge_n of_o god_n lovely_a chastisement_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v any_o further_a give_v i_o leave_v to_o lay_v this_o down_o as_o a_o maxim_n undeniable_a that_o god_n never_o tri_v a_o nation_n or_o a_o people_n general_o with_o such_o trial_n as_o to_o deliver_v they_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o their_o enemy_n unless_o it_o be_v for_o their_o sin_n but_o these_o trial_n that_o i_o intend_v to_o enter_v further_o into_o be_v such_o which_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v liable_a to_o in_o particular_a when_o their_o father_n do_v withdraw_v his_o presence_n from_o they_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o show_v they_o what_o he_o have_v do_v for_o they_o although_o his_o love_n may_v be_v as_o great_a to_o they_o at_o that_o time_n as_o ever_o &_o these_o be_v many_o time_n in_o many_o thing_n not_o only_o strike_v at_o but_o overturn_v in_o their_o expectation_n not_o that_o i_o ever_o read_v that_o god_n do_v ever_o hide_v himself_o to_o any_o of_o they_o so_o far_o but_o that_o ere_o long_a time_n be_v over_o they_o find_v it_o be_v not_o in_o vain_a to_o serve_v he_o but_o that_o he_o do_v appear_v one_o way_n or_o other_o to_o they_o to_o manifest_v himself_o a_o love_a and_o a_o tender_a god_n as_o solomon_n have_v it_o in_o the_o canticle_n 5._o and_o the_o 6_o verse_n speak_v of_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o church_n for_o their_o high_a thought_n of_o their_o own_o righteousness_n as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o
that_o it_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o fire_n i_o say_v if_o you_o seek_v to_o deal_v in_o such_o commodity_n you_o must_v expect_v the_o frown_n of_o these_o your_o enemy_n nay_o your_o king_n will_v be_v try_v you_o how_o your_o zeal_n be_v agreeable_a to_o your_o profession_n but_o lest_o you_o shall_v think_v to_o escape_v this_o scourge_n or_o correct_a hand_n of_o god_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o that_o it_o be_v good_a to_o bear_v it_o and_o continue_v steadfast_a to_o the_o end_n though_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a affliction_n incident_a to_o the_o peculiar_a and_o chief_o belove_v of_o god_n yet_o they_o shall_v receive_v a_o diadem_n at_o the_o last_o that_o will_v cause_v they_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o be_v good_a for_o they_o they_o be_v afflict_a first_o there_o be_v a_o affliction_n that_o god_n suffer_v his_o child_n to_o be_v exercise_v withal_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o have_v to_o do_v or_o deal_n with_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n second_o there_o be_v a_o affliction_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o dejection_n in_o thing_n appertain_v to_o our_o chief_a content_n as_o when_o we_o be_v hinder_v of_o our_o commerce_n with_o our_o god_n and_o lie_v sigh_v &_o complain_v as_o job_n and_o several_a other_o of_o his_o servant_n have_v do_v job_n say_v i_o look_v for_o he_o on_o the_o one_o side_n but_o he_o be_v not_o there_o and_o behind_o i_o but_o i_o can_v find_v he_o no_o he_o hide_v himself_o he_o will_v not_o appear_v to_o answer_v job_n in_o what_o job_n do_v desire_v neither_o will_v he_o plead_v with_o he_o till_o his_o time_n be_v come_v job_n cry_v out_o of_o oppression_n as_o you_o have_v it_o job_n 23.3_o and_o 19.7_o this_o be_v the_o burthensome_a affliction_n that_o may_v befall_v the_o child_n of_o god_n yea_o yea_o it_o seem_v so_o burdensome_a sometime_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o question_n their_o condition_n to_o be_v worse_o than_o mere_a worldling_n that_o have_v no_o joy_n in_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o what_o they_o grapple_v after_o in_o this_o life_n as_o david_n plain_o instance_n i_o say_v it_o fare_v better_a with_o the_o wicked_a than_o with_o the_o righteous_a but_o when_o i_o go_v into_o thy_o sanctuary_n i_o find_v it_o be_v better_a to_o abide_v one_o day_n within_o thy_o court_n than_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o wicked_a man_n for_o ever_o psal_n 7.73_o how_o do_v god_n see_v they_o say_v the_o wicked_a though_o we_o scourge_v they_o nay_o david_n say_v therefore_o be_v his_o people_n bring_v thither_o and_o water_n of_o a_o full_a cup_n be_v wring_v out_o to_o they_o but_o let_v not_o any_o man_n mistake_v i_o herein_o and_o think_v that_o i_o speak_v of_o god_n withdraw_v his_o affection_n from_o his_o people_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v only_o thus_o that_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o in_o love_n to_o we_o even_o as_o the_o apostle_n have_v it_o heb._n 12.6_o every_o son_n who_o i_o love_v do_v i_o rebuke_v and_o chasten_v to_o keep_v our_o thought_n from_o vain_a construction_n that_o all_o man_n be_v very_o prone_a unto_o to_o have_v high_a thought_n of_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o their_o own_o ability_n and_o their_o own_o righteousness_n and_o peradventure_o never_o dive_v into_o our_o own_o heart_n to_o acknowledge_v to_o who_o we_o be_v oblige_v for_o it_o but_o forget_v the_o fountain_n from_o whence_o it_o flow_v and_o spring_v to_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v of_o the_o roman_n they_o have_v a_o zeal_n to_o god_n but_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n rom._n 10._o and_o the_o beginning_n of_o

of_o god_n even_o so_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o conclude_v with_o ourselves_o we_o have_v this_o good_a qualification_n or_o this_o good_a blessing_n or_o i_o be_o so_o just_a or_o more_o righteous_a in_o such_o a_o degree_n than_o such_o and_o such_o be_v when_o we_o do_v not_o consider_v if_o we_o be_v so_o that_o it_o be_v god_n mercy_n to_o we_o more_o than_o our_o deserve_n but_o rejoice_v in_o
