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.

righteous_a when_o they_o be_v not_o moral_o just_a for_o how_o can_v any_o man_n spirituallize_v himself_o and_o not_o use_v morality_n for_o whatever_o be_v manifest_v to_o be_v act_v between_o man_n and_o man_n be_v external_a in_o respect_n of_o decayableness_n and_o noncontinuance_n therefore_o god_n expect_v that_o as_o you_o have_v receive_v a_o talon_n of_o righteousness_n and_o truth_n so_o you_o shall_v act_v truth_n and_o deal_v just_o with_o all_o man_n and_o not_o to_o boast_v of_o a_o talon_n of_o truth_n and_o righteousness_n when_o you_o act_v contrary_a and_o do_v not_o improve_v it_o but_o abuse_v the_o true_a use_n of_o it_o for_o god_n be_v better_a please_v in_o the_o just_a demeanour_n towards_o man_n than_o with_o thousand_o of_o sacrifice_n by_o your_o pretence_n in_o religion_n even_o as_o that_o be_v instance_a of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o the_o time_n of_o joshuah_n as_o you_o may_v read_v joshuah_n 9.19_o they_o can_v not_o kill_v the_o gibeonite_n because_o they_o have_v make_v a_o promise_n that_o they_o will_v not_o destroy_v they_o although_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v to_o destroy_v all_o those_o people_n and_o place_n show_v they_o the_o danger_n of_o make_v a_o league_n with_o they_o as_o you_o may_v read_v deuteronomy_n the_o seven_o oh_o how_o will_v many_o in_o our_o day_n swallow_v such_o a_o oath_n and_o never_o think_v themselves_o hardly_o the_o worse_a for_o so_o do_v shall_v such_o a_o thing_n extend_v to_o their_o own_o end_n in_o any_o one_o particular_a these_o people_n may_v have_v plead_v that_o they_o can_v not_o disobey_v the_o command_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o have_v command_v they_o to_o destroy_v both_o young_a and_o old_a and_o that_o they_o enter_v into_o oath_n with_o they_o upon_o no_o other_o account_n but_o as_o be_v a_o people_n that_o live_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o the_o place_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o and_o that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a danger_n of_o their_o son_n marry_v with_o their_o daughter_n and_o their_o daughter_n with_o the_o gibeonite_n and_o so_o entice_v they_o to_o follow_v other_o god_n therefore_o be_v forewarn_v by_o the_o lord_n they_o will_v prevent_v the_o worst_a be_v it_o be_v upon_o a_o spiritual_a account_n as_o indeed_o it_o will_v have_v seem_v with_o many_o of_o our_o most_o zealous_a professor_n but_o the_o prince_n of_o israel_n say_v they_o may_v not_o do_v it_o for_o they_o have_v enter_v into_o covenant_n with_o they_o to_o let_v they_o live_v therefore_o they_o will_v not_o become_v covenant-breaker_n but_o will_v make_v a_o covenant_n to_o be_v a_o covenant_n in_o deed_n as_o well_o as_o in_o word_n i_o will_v endeavour_v to_o show_v you_o 3_o reason_n why_o the_o prince_n of_o israel_n will_v not_o break_v this_o covenant_n when_o the_o people_n do_v earnest_o desire_v it_o first_o in_o respect_n they_o have_v not_o break_v the_o command_n of_o god_n willing_o or_o know_o and_o in_o case_n they_o shall_v break_v this_o league_n with_o the_o gibeonite_n they_o shall_v offend_v against_o he_o in_o both_o for_o that_o god_n that_o be_v the_o god_n that_o bid_v they_o keep_v those_o covenant_n and_o command_n bid_v they_o also_o act_v truth_n and_o lie_v not_o one_o to_o another_o that_o they_o may_v demonstrate_v to_o all_o people_n that_o they_o worship_v a_o god_n of_o order_n and_o a_o god_n that_o will_v not_o lie_v therefore_o see_v that_o they_o can_v not_o keep_v both_o but_o that_o they_o be_v circumvent_v in_o one_o they_o will_v be_v as_o exact_v as_o they_o can_v in_o the_o other_o many_o look_n at_o what_o god_n say_v in_o one_o respect_n but_o not_o at_o other_o it_o have_v be_v good_a if_o israel_n have_v not_o enter_v into_o league_n with_o they_o to_o the_o contrary_a to_o have_v destroy_v they_o but_o see_v they_o have_v though_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o account_n as_o they_o think_v of_o stranger_n nay_o they_o ask_v they_o if_o they_o do_v not_o live_v among_o they_o and_o they_o say_v no_o they_o come_v from_o a_o far_a country_n i_o fear_v very_o few_o professor_n in_o our_o time_n will_v be_v so_o exact_a in_o their_o carriage_n for_o the_o praise_n of_o their_o master_n second_o they_o know_v they_o shall_v very_o much_o dishonour_v their_o god_n in_o not_o confide_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v their_o son_n and_o their_o daughter_n from_o believe_v or_o worship_v the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_a if_o they_o shall_v marry_v one_o with_o the_o other_o it_o will_v seem_v a_o very_a dishonourable_a part_n for_o israel_n when_o they_o have_v engage_v to_o gibeon_n to_o break_v their_o covenant_n for_o fear_v the_o gibeonite_n shall_v draw_v they_o or_o their_o son_n or_o daughter_n from_o worship_v that_o god_n who_o they_o serve_v it_o must_v needs_o argue_v that_o they_o give_v evident_a witness_n that_o their_o god_n be_v not_o strong_a enough_o to_o encounter_v with_o the_o god_n of_o the_o heathen_n and_o that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o worship_v a_o god_n that_o be_v not_o but_o in_o case_n thou_o be_v engage_v i_o find_v no_o scripture_n ground_n that_o you_o shall_v ever_o falsify_v your_o word_n for_o other_o be_v worse_o than_o you_o for_o that_o be_v the_o way_n to_o make_v thyself_o worse_o than_o they_o whereas_o if_o gibeon_n live_v with_o israel_n who_o know_v but_o israel_n may_v convert_v gibeon_n however_o israel_n will_v be_v israel_n so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v in_o this_o mind_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o ancient_a heathen_a that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v spiritual_o good_a if_o he_o be_v not_o moral_o just_a and_o his_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o spiritual_a god_n be_v a_o god_n of_o order_n but_o some_o one_o may_v object_n suppose_v that_o those_o that_o i_o have_v engage_v to_o shall_v give_v i_o any_o just_a occasion_n to_o break_v my_o covenant_n they_o be_v as_o deep_o engage_v as_o i_o be_v it_o be_v they_o that_o become_v covenant-breaker_n and_o not_o i_o i_o hope_v i_o may_v free_o break_v i_o without_o wrong_v my_o conscience_n at_o all_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o be_v find_v a_o offender_n in_o the_o sight_n or_o

refuse_v the_o advice_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n thou_o must_v look_v further_a than_o what_o the_o law_n of_o man_n do_v intimate_v in_o some_o thing_n the_o law_n of_o nation_n be_v

prophet_n have_v see_v vain_a and_o foolish_a thing_n for_o thou_o they_o have_v see_v for_o thou_o false_a burden_n and_o cause_n of_o banishment_n it_o seem_v a_o please_a and_o melodious_a vision_n that_o these_o prophet_n do_v see_v for_o israel_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v too_o to_o frequent_v with_o most_o if_o not_o all_o people_n if_o they_o once_o bend_v their_o mind_n to_o any_o one_o

be_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o ancient_a heathen_a that_o if_o any_o man_n do_v speak_v well_o of_o any_o of_o his_o practice_n that_o he_o will_v ask_v he_o what_o it_o be_v that_o he_o ask_v he_o

text_n as_o it_o be_v open_v for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o place_n that_o hinder_v they_o from_o sing_v this_o song_n but_o it_o be_v the_o want_n of_o god_n power_n to_o assist_v they_o in_o any_o
