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.

jacob_n to_o go_v to_o bethel_n or_o to_o his_o promise_n in_o bethel_n to_o do_v answ_n it_o be_v to_o take_v notice_n that_o he_o have_v break_v his_o promise_n and_o therefore_o he_o command_v

to_o bury_v they_o in_o shechem_n before_o he_o can_v go_v up_o to_o bethel_n and_o tell_v his_o family_n that_o they_o must_v change_v their_o garment_n and_o be_v clean_a and_o then_o arise_v and_o go_v to_o build_v a_o altar_n in_o bethel_n and_o seek_v the_o lord_n that_o answer_v he_o in_o his_o distress_n and_o by_o that_o mean_v a_o terror_n do_v strike_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o neighbour_a city_n that_o they_o journ_v safe_o second_o israel_n have_v purchase_v god_n displeasure_n not_o long_o before_o this_o engagement_n be_v make_v with_o the_o gibeonite_n as_o be_v instance_a in_o the_o seven_o chapter_n of_o joshuah_n and_o the_o 11_o verse_n israel_n have_v sin_v say_v the_o lord_n in_o break_v their_o covenant_n which_o i_o command_v they_o they_o have_v also_o steal_v and_o have_v put_v it_o among_o their_o own_o stuff_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v not_o stand_v before_o their_o enemy_n so_o you_o may_v see_v plain_o that_o god_n be_v very_o

the_o lord_n in_o judah_n as_o you_o have_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o nehemiah_n and_o the_o seven_o verse_n which_o show_v that_o god_n be_v well_o please_v with_o israel_n for_o their_o keep_v their_o covenant_n in_o accept_v of_o the_o gibeonite_n into_o his_o favour_n for_o israel_n sake_n whereas_o achan_n offend_v against_o he_o when_o there_o be_v no_o obligation_n to_o urge_v he_o to_o it_o he_o will_v not_o be_v friend_n with_o he_o nor_o with_o israel_n till_o they_o have_v destroy_v he_o but_o israel_n must_v fall_v before_o the_o man_n of_o aye_o yea_o and_o those_o that_o have_v not_o offend_v with_o pollute_v themselves_o in_o the_o forbid_a enticement_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o that_o man_n do_v fall_v before_o their_o enemy_n always_o for_o the_o sin_n that_o they_o commit_v themselves_o but_o for_o the_o pollution_n of_o other_o israel_n be_v say_v to_o sin_n in_o that_o one_o have_v sin_v even_o achan_n and_o god_n will_v suffer_v even_o 36_o of_o the_o israelite_n to_o die_v before_o the_o man_n of_o aye_o and_o the_o rest_n to_o flee_v for_o achans_n offence_n therefore_o i_o will_v entreat_v every_o man_n whatever_o that_o profess_v

for_o our_o backslide_n yet_o we_o may_v be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o fury_n against_o other_o that_o be_v more_o innocent_a than_o we_o for_o god_n will_v not_o be_v friend_n with_o israel_n till_o the_o babylonish_n garment_n be_v burn_v and_o achan_n stone_v look_v to_o it_o as_o well_o as_o you_o please_v you_o know_v your_o pay_n will_v be_v according_a to_o your_o work_n i_o need_v

you_o seek_v to_o cleanse_v only_o the_o outside_n and_o do_v not_o furbish_v the_o inside_n to_o answer_v it_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a small_a satisfaction_n to_o thou_o to_o have_v christ_n
