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 learn_v as_o by_o book_n and_o not_o by_o heart_n you_o may_v just_o think_v yourselves_o far_o short_a of_o the_o receive_v any_o benefit_n by_o they_o from_o god_n i_o do_v not_o say_v but_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 or_o customary_a use_n it_o will_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v blow_v up_o by_o the_o encroach_a gust_n of_o covetousness_n and_o hope_n of_o worldly_a honour_n and_o preferment_n of_o man_n 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

leave_v then_o farewell_n prayer_n and_o farewell_n praise_n for_o i_o can_v pray_v as_o well_o in_o another_o dispensation_n but_o i_o shall_v get_v nothing_o but_o the_o ill_a will_n of_o man_n 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 my_o friend_n wealth_n and_o honour_n and_o applause_n but_o i_o must_v now_o follow_v they_o further_o or_o else_o they_o will_v leave_v i_o o_o it_o be_v a_o sad_a thing_n when_o religion_n say_v 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 no_o better_a than_o a_o worship_v of_o thyself_o and_o that_o in_o the_o worst_a sense_n too_o for_o thou_o do_v but_o herein_o toil_n to_o gather_v coal_n &_o faggot_n to_o consume_v thyself_o in_o

of_o profession_n but_o if_o thou_o take_v up_o thy_o rest_n in_o any_o such_o like_a abess_n or_o centerest_n thyself_o in_o any_o fabric_n of_o this_o nature_n know_v assure_o god_n will_v blast_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 their_o mind_n and_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v but_o it_o be_v not_o last_v it_o be_v not_o abidable_a as_o the_o prophet_n have_v it_o esay_n 48._o the_o last_o verse_n there_o be_v no_o peace_n to_o the_o wicked_a say_v my_o god_n that_o be_v no_o abide_n nor_o continue_v peace_n therefore_o value_v thy_o future_a peace_n beyond_o any_o present_a seem_a content_n in_o this_o life_n for_o thou_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 let_v thy_o heart_n cheer_v thou_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o own_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o thy_o eye_n but_o know_v thou_o that_o for_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

this_o life_n unless_o he_o renounce_v the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o life_n for_o whosoever_o call_v god_n father_n and_o abide_v in_o sin_n be_v a_o liar_n john_n the_o first_o the_o 1_o chapter_n

hear_v much_o of_o that_o when_o they_o be_v go_v about_o any_o thing_n that_o they_o imagine_v will_v hardly_o bear_v the_o raze_v of_o the_o scripture_n they_o will_v say_v that_o they_o will_v inquire_v of_o god_n whether_o they_o may_v do_v it_o or_o no_o and_o so_o will_v through_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o desire_n of_o their_o own_o will_n draw_v the_o sense_n and_o intent_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o what_o they_o please_v or_o what_o please_v their_o fancy_n best_o and_o think_v themselves_o secure_a enough_o too_o if_o they_o have_v but_o frame_v a_o prayer_n for_o god_n to_o direct_v they_o in_o it_o though_o it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v not_o hearken_v to_o what_o god_n put_v into_o their_o mind_n at_o that_o time_n neither_o but_o adhere_v rather_o to_o what_o be_v more_o beneficial_a as_o they_o think_v for_o their_o own_o end_n not_o that_o they_o will_v blot_v the_o scripture_n clean_o out_o in_o show_n but_o it_o shall_v seem_v difficult_a to_o they_o in_o such_o case_n and_o so_o will_v under_o a_o pretence_n of_o religion_n do_v those_o thing_n that_o neither_o reason_n equity_n nor_o scripture_n will_v bear_v they_o any_o testimony_n of_o this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v go_v to_o inquire_v of_o god_n whether_o they_o may_v free_o murder_v a_o man_n or_o not_o and_o if_o their_o desire_n be_v draw_v out_o to_o it_o and_o in_o

a_o delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n to_o draw_v any_o man_n mind_n to_o prayer_n for_o god_n to_o direct_v they_o in_o any_o thing_n when_o their_o mind_n be_v absolute_o bend_v to_o do_v wicked_o i_o

unto_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n too_o common_a in_o our_o day_n for_o many_o man_n to_o content_v themselves_o with_o a_o form_n of_o prayer_n when_o it_o may_v be_v they_o understand_v not_o any_o one_o petition_n of_o what_o they_o require_v nor_o that_o the_o thing_n that_o they_o require_v be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n or_o not_o which_o he_o have_v leave_v for_o

but_o keep_v themselves_o from_o the_o law_n of_o man_n take_v hold_n of_o they_o they_o think_v they_o shall_v be_v safe_a enough_o so_o that_o they_o can_v but_o have_v the_o praise_n and_o

but_o think_v it_o shall_v always_o go_v well_o with_o they_o because_o they_o imagine_v it_o be_v rather_o better_o with_o they_o than_o with_o the_o righteous_a at_o present_a and_o they_o see_v no_o alteration_n but_o god_n love_n be_v as_o much_o to_o they_o as_o to_o any_o one_o sort_n of_o people_n and_o they_o flourish_v as_o david_n say_v like_o a_o green_a bay-tree_n and_o have_v no_o

have_v it_o psal_n 55.19_o god_n shall_v hear_v and_o afflict_v they_o even_o he_o that_o abide_v of_o old_a because_o they_o have_v no_o change_n therefore_o they_o fear_v not_o god_n it_o be_v not_o
