A54042	Many deep considerations have been upon my heart concerning the state of Israel both past, present, and to come, some of which I find drawings to communicate : together with some questions and answers concerning unity.

they_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o his_o strength_n and_o in_o his_o wisdom_n this_o my_o eye_n have_v see_v and_o often_o take_v notice_n of_o bless_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o pray_v to_o he_o for_o their_o preservation_n and_o sure_o whoever_o he_o be_v that_o have_v either_o know_v himself_o or_o hear_v the_o relation_n of_o the_o poverty_n of_o these_o young_a

this_o also_o in_o my_o heart_n that_o their_o danger_n be_v now_o great_a than_o when_o they_o be_v poor_a weak_a and_o not_o so_o enrich_v and_o gift_v by_o the_o lord_n the_o enemy_n be_v very_o subtle_a and_o watchful_a and_o there_o be_v danger_n to_o israel_n all_o along_o both_o in_o the_o poverty_n and_o in_o the_o riches_n but_o the_o great_a danger_n be_v in_o the_o riches_n because_o then_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o forget_v god_n and_o to_o lose_v somewhat_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o dependence_n which_o keep_v the_o soul_n low_a and_o safe_a in_o the_o life_n and_o also_o to_o suffer_v somewhat_o of_o exaltation_n to_o creep_v upon_o he_o which_o present_o in_o a_o degree_n corrupt_v and_o betray_v he_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v in_o any_o measure_n lift_v up_o in_o its_o self_n so_o far_o it_o be_v not_o upright_o to_o the_o lord_n let_v every_o one_o feel_v this_o wait_v to_o be_v preserve_v and_o pray_v for_o those_o who_o be_v most_o beautify_v and_o advance_v by_o gift_n and_o ability_n from_o the_o life_n because_o in_o this_o respect_n and_o at_o this_o time_n their_o danger_n be_v great_a when_o israel_n be_v poor_a low_a weak_a tremble_a see_v no_o loveliness_n nor_o worthiness_n in_o himself_o but_o depend_v upon_o the_o mere_a mercy_n and_o tender_a bowel_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o free_a covenant_n of_o his_o love_n &c_n &c_n then_o be_v israel_n safe_a but_o when_o he_o have_v a_o be_v give_v he_o in_o the_o life_n and_o be_v rich_o adorn_v with_o the_o ornament_n of_o life_n and_o come_v to_o have_v the_o power_n itself_o in_o his_o hand_n to_o make_v use_n of_o then_o be_v he_o in_o more_o danger_n of_o become_v somewhat_o of_o himself_o and_o of_o forget_v he_o that_o form_v he_o be_v apt_a to_o make_v use_n of_o his_o gift_n without_o such_o a_o immediate_a sense_n of_o the_o giver_n as_o he_o have_v in_o his_o tremble_a and_o weak_a estate_n and_o so_o of_o depart_v out_o of_o that_o humble_a tender_a abase_v contrite_a state_n and_o temper_n of_o spirit_n wherein_o he_o be_v still_o preserve_v 9_o this_o also_o have_v be_v manifest_a to_o i_o and_o deep_o impress_v on_o my_o spirit_n all_o along_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v if_o he_o see_v good_a suffer_v some_o great_a and_o eminent_a one_o to_o fall_n in_o israel_n man_n may_v forget_v himself_o and_o the_o lord_n may_v let_v out_o temptation_n upon_o he_o and_o suffer_v it_o to_o enter_v that_o he_o may_v bring_v he_o to_o the_o sense_n and_o feel_n of_o his_o weakness_n again_o yea_o those_o who_o have_v feel_v the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o and_o through_o a_o instrument_n may_v give_v more_o to_o the_o instrument_n than_o belong_v unto_o it_o and_o so_o put_v the_o lord_n upon_o recover_v the_o honour_n due_a to_o he_o which_o be_v

glory_n thereof_o will_v he_o not_o give_v to_o another_o if_o therefore_o any_o man_n in_o this_o day_n shall_v take_v to_o himself_o what_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n or_o any_o other_o shall_v give_v it_o he_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o so_o lose_v it_o but_o will_v find_v out_o a_o way_n to_o recover_v his_o own_o and_o happy_a be_v the_o man_n who_o lie_v continual_o perfectly-abased_n before_o the_o lord_n assume_v nothing_o of_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o himself_o nor_o attribute_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o another_o that_o the_o lord_n alone_o may_v be_v exalt_v every_o

all_o 10._o i_o have_v have_v a_o deep_a sense_n of_o this_o also_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n shall_v suffer_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o fall_v out_o among_o we_o it_o may_v cause_v a_o great_a shake_n and_o shatter_v in_o israel_n sure_o i_o may_v say_v it_o will_v come_v very_o unexpected_o and_o unsuspected_o to_o many_o and_o so_o such_o person_n will_v be_v surprise_v with_o it_o and_o not_o
