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 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 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 pleasure_n i_o &_o the_o good_a word_n of_o man_n thou_o shall_v have_v the_o name_n so_o long_o as_o my_o better_a friend_n can_v have_v their_o free_a entertainment_n but_o if_o one_o must_v be_v 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 the_o last_o day_n without_o the_o great_a mercy_n of_o god_n for_o this_o manner_n of_o serve_v god_n or_o rather_o thyself_o it_o may_v be_v perform_v in_o any_o dispensation_n or_o any_o sort_n 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 it_o in_o the_o end_n if_o it_o be_v build_v upon_o no_o sure_a a_o foundation_n than_o self-end_n and_o notional_a expression_n it_o may_v be_v god_n may_v let_v thou_o alone_o for_o the_o time_n 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
that_o be_v one_o outward_o neither_o be_v that_o circumcision_n that_o be_v outward_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n that_o be_v one_o inward_o and_o circumcision_n be_v that_o of_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o spirit_n not_o in_o the_o letter_n who_o praise_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n so_o as_o i_o say_v before_o the_o people_n that_o willing_o and_o joyful_o do_v seek_v to_o repair_v the_o breach_n of_o judah_n be_v such_o as_o must_v inherit_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n make_v to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o shall_v sure_o be_v inhabitant_n in_o this_o land_n where_o this_o song_n of_o zion_n may_v be_v real_o and_o experimental_o and_o true_o sing_v in_o but_o i_o shall_v leave_v this_o particular_a at_o this_o time_n and_o shall_v desire_v every_o one_o that_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v a_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o land_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o his_o duty_n must_v be_v in_o zion_n or_o in_o judah_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o full_o when_o i_o come_v to_o show_v you_o the_o law_n and_o the_o ordinance_n that_o be_v in_o this_o land_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o four_o particular_a by_o what_o mean_v a_o people_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v capable_a or_o learned_a in_o this_o school_n to_o sing_v this_o song_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v through_o god_n assistance_n to_o make_v manifest_a unto_o your_o view_n these_o two_o follow_a observation_n first_o it_o chief_o concern_v we_o to_o search_v who_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n in_o zion_n or_o who_o it_o be_v that_o instruct_v jacob_n or_o israel_n second_o what_o these_o law_n or_o statute_n be_v that_o be_v teach_v or_o ought_v to_o be_v teach_v in_o israel_n and_o how_o to_o be_v observe_v first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n be_v make_v mention_n of_o in_o several_a place_n to_o be_v the_o instucter_n of_o israel_n as_o psalm_n 78.5_o he_o establish_v a_o testimony_n in_o jacob_n and_o a_o law_n in_o israel_n and_o in_o isaiah_n the_o 48._o and_o 17._o verse_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n thy_o redeemer_n the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n which_o teach_v thou_o to_o profit_n which_o lead_v the_o by_o the_o way_n that_o thou_o shall_v go_v and_o in_o the_o 51_o of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o 4._o verse_n harken_v unto_o i_o o_o my_o people_n and_o give_v ear_n unto_o i_o o_o my_o nation_n for_o a_o law_n shall_v proceed_v from_o i_o and_o i_o will_v make_v judgement_n to_o rest_v for_o a_o light_n to_o the_o people_n if_o any_o one_o be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o israel_n the_o forego_n word_n will_v certify_v he_o better_o and_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 40_o of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o 9_o verse_n o_o zion_n and_o jerusalem_n that_o bring_v good_a tiding_n lift_v up_o thy_o voice_n and_o be_v not_o afraid_a and_o say_v unto_o the_o city_n of_o judah_n behold_v your_o god_n i_o may_v instance_n hundred_o of_o place_n more_o to_o prove_v this_o truth_n to_o you_o but_o i_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v needless_a for_o wherever_o there_o be_v any_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o author_n of_o israel_n law_n and_o statute_n god_n be_v make_v mention_n of_o in_o some_o one_o degree_n or_o other_o to_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o they_o if_o it_o be_v mention_v of_o israel_n as_o israel_n or_o as_o i_o have_v define_v israel_n in_o my_o foremention_v of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o israel_n in_o name_n or_o show_v but_o in_o truth_n &_o verity_n it_o may_v be_v some_o one_o or_o other_o will_v be_v inquisitive_a to_o demand_v of_o i_o what_o god_n be_v as_o i_o have_v oftentimes_o have_v object_v against_o i_o but_o i_o shall_v speak_v very_o little_a to_o that_o in_o this_o place_n but_o in_o case_n any_o one_o be_v desirous_a to_o know_v far_o if_o i_o find_v he_o willing_a and_o desirous_a to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o particular_a that_o i_o shall_v make_v mention_n of_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o satisfy_v he_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o place_n convenient_a first_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o second_o god_n be_v say_v to_o feed_v his_o flock_n and_o that_o he_o be_v their_o shepherd_n and_o in_o other_o place_n to_o be_v god_n of_o fury_n to_o the_o wicked_a it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o another_o to_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o he_o be_v in_o we_o or_o in_o his_o manifestation_n but_o i_o shall_v defer_v this_o discourse_n in_o this_o place_n suppose_v the_o unfoldng_n of_o it_o will_v be_v rather_o a_o stumble_a block_n then_o any_o thing_n of_o edification_n to_o many_o therefore_o i_o shall_v advise_v every_o one_o whatever_n to_o assure_v himself_o that_o there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n in_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o hater_n of_o lie_n and_o a_o destroyer_n of_o all_o the_o device_n of_o the_o wicked_a thus_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o second_o particular_a what_o these_o law_n or_o statute_n be_v that_o be_v give_v to_o israel_n in_o zion_n or_o the_o holy_a land_n as_o some_o read_v it_o or_o judah_n or_o in_o jerusalem_n and_o how_o to_o be_v observe_v first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o as_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v holy_a so_o be_v his_o statute_n and_o law_n holy_a also_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 119_o psal_n the_o 137_o verse_n righteous_a art_n thou_o o_o lord_n and_o upright_o be_v thy_o judgement_n thy_o testimony_n that_o thou_o have_v command_v be_v righteous_a and_o very_a faithful_a and_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 7_o verse_n of_o this_o psalm_n i_o will_v praise_v thou_o with_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n when_o i_o shall_v have_v learn_v thy_o righteous_a judgement_n so_o that_o you_o see_v plain_o that_o the_o statute_n and_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n to_o these_o inhabitant_n be_v righteousness_n and_o truth_n and_o equity_n and_o love_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o as_o you_o have_v a_o righteous_a lawgiver_n and_o righteous_a law_n so_o you_o must_v observe_v to_o serve_v he_o in_o righteousness_n if_o you_o intend_v to_o be_v a_o subject_a in_o this_o land_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 118_o psalm_n and_o the_o 19_o &_o 20._o verse_n open_v to_o i_o the_o gate_n of_o righteousness_n &_o i_o will_v go_v into_o they_o &_o praise_v the_o lord_n this_o gate_n of_o the_o lord_n into_o which_o the_o righteous_a shall_v enter_v thou_o must_v not_o stand_v to_o frame_v a_o service_n to_o seek_v the_o bounty_n and_o gift_n of_o man_n in_o it_o but_o the_o command_v of_o god_n happy_a be_v that_o people_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o uniformity_n that_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v of_o they_o that_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v due_o observe_v in_o their_o land_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v any_o further_a let_v we_o consider_v what_o danger_n may_v ensue_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v inhabitant_n in_o this_o land_n if_o in_o case_n they_o shall_v obey_v and_o keep_v the_o statute_n and_o law_n in_o this_o land_n first_o i_o say_v that_o no_o man_n as_o man_n but_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o deserve_v the_o be_v cast_v forth_o from_o inhabit_v in_o this_o land_n but_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v a_o god_n of_o mercy_n as_o well_o as_o justice_n but_o in_o case_n thou_o be_v as_o strict_a a_o observer_n as_o may_v be_v yet_o thou_o can_v assure_v thyself_o of_o no_o constant_a content_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o whilst_o thou_o be_v in_o this_o thy_o decayable_a and_o frail_a building_n or_o house_n of_o this_o world_n there_o will_v be_v strive_n and_o turmoiling_n in_o the_o several_a revolution_n and_o change_n and_o whilst_o we_o be_v strive_v to_o conquer_v they_o by_o our_o more_o high_a aspire_n the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n will_v be_v strive_v to_o show_v we_o their_o present_a seem_a delight_n think_v to_o intermingle_v out_o more_o

great_a warfare_n in_o which_o you_o must_v engage_v as_o a_o combitant_n if_o you_o come_v into_o this_o land_n for_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v strive_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o those_o two_o be_v contrary_a so_o that_o if_o you_o will_v seek_v after_o any_o dutable_a riches_n any_o treasure_n that_o the_o moth_n and_o rust_n will_v not_o
