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.

careful_o sweep_v it_o out_o and_o make_v all_o clean_a within_o for_o he_o can_v sleep_v in_o quiet_a till_o he_o have_v get_v his_o house_n clean_o as_o no_o earthly_a man_n can_v take_v his_o

he_o can_v but_o dread_v the_o worst_a of_o thing_n so_o long_o as_o any_o suspect_a enemy_n be_v within_o his_o confine_n but_o if_o he_o know_v that_o there_o be_v none_o but_o he_o have_v try_v

his_o soul_n to_o its_o most_o fix_a bliss_n no_o man_n can_v beat_v he_o off_o of_o this_o his_o watchfulness_n when_o he_o have_v once_o taste_v the_o love_n of_o god_n so_o as_o to_o witness_v that_o he_o be_v satisfy_v with_o it_o not_o that_o i_o think_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o seem_v satisfy_v or_o to_o talk_v of_o be_v satisfy_v but_o i_o speak_v of_o they_o that_o be_v real_o and_o

or_o a_o self-conceitedness_n in_o your_o worship_n or_o to_o worship_n for_o custom_n or_o to_o believe_v because_o other_o say_v it_o be_v true_a when_o it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v no_o warrant_n in_o your_o own_o heart_n that_o it_o be_v true_a but_o because_o other_o say_v it_o be_v so_o therefore_o you_o will_v believe_v it_o for_o you_o be_v sure_a that_o such_o man_n will_v not_o say_v it_o if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v many_o say_v when_o they_o have_v have_v no_o other_o reason_n to_o believe_v it_o but_o because_o other_o man_n have_v affirm_v it_o alas_o my_o poor_a friend_n you_o that_o have_v no_o other_o ground_n for_o your_o faith_n than_o what_o another_o do_v give_v you_o i_o say_v that_o you_o that_o satisfy_v yourselves_o with_o what_o other_o say_v and_o do_v not_o inquire_v whether_o it_o be_v according_a to_o god_n holy_a word_n that_o be_v leave_v we_o for_o a_o example_n you_o be_v far_o from_o know_v what_o you_o fix_v your_o faith_n upon_o and_o you_o will_v be_v like_a to_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n that_o can_v follow_v moses_n because_o they_o see_v that_o god_n do_v work_v many_o miracle_n by_o he_o but_o when_o moses_n be_v long_o in_o the_o mount_n than_o they_o suppose_v he_o will_v have_v stay_v they_o be_v present_o at_o a_o loss_n and_o charge_n aaron_n to_o make_v they_o a_o god_n to_o go_v before_o they_o exod._n 32.1_o and_o as_o we_o read_v they_o be_v forty_o year_n under_o his_o preach_v to_o they_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v record_v of_o they_o that_o they_o know_v not_o the_o way_n of_o god_n there_o be_v many_o writer_n that_o affirm_v they_o to_o be_v a_o peculiar_a and_o absolute_a people_n by_o their_o desert_n but_o i_o find_v no_o such_o thing_n record_v in_o scripture_n therefore_o i_o shall_v speak_v what_o be_v make_v manifest_a to_o i_o though_o i_o know_v it_o will_v seem_v harsh_a to_o many_o to_o believe_v what_o i_o have_v here_o insert_v but_o i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o a_o people_n to_o be_v make_v happy_a by_o desert_n and_o obedience_n and_o it_o be_v another_o to_o be_v make_v happy_a by_o god_n infinite_a mercy_n and_o forgiveness_n as_o you_o have_v israel_n make_v happy_a by_o god_n love_n and_o compassion_n to_o they_o in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o not_o by_o desert_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o god_n love_v a_o people_n &_o a_o people_n obey_v god_n therefore_o i_o will_v desire_v every_o one_o to_o serious_o consider_v when_o they_o read_v or_o hear_v what_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o word_n speak_v and_o the_o time_n when_o it_o be_v speak_v and_o the_o dispensation_n that_o the_o people_n be_v under_o when_o it_o be_v speak_v and_o what_o degree_n of_o
