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.	Penington, Isaac, 1616-1679.	1664 (1664)	Wing P1178; ESTC R25581	11,417	16

many_o deep_a consideration_n have_v be_v upon_o my_o heart_n concern_v the_o state_n of_o israel_n both_o past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v some_o of_o which_o i_o find_v drawing_n to_o communicate_v together_o with_o some_o question_n and_o answer_n concern_v unity_n the_o consideration_n concern_v israel_n be_v these_o which_o follow_v 1._o the_o precious_a live_a state_n which_o my_o soul_n remember_v to_o have_v be_v about_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o late_a trouble_n of_o this_o nation_n when_o israel_n be_v bend_v to_o seek_v after_o the_o lord_n and_o apply_v their_o heart_n to_o wait_v upon_o he_o in_o fasting_n and_o earnest_a supplication_n wherein_o my_o heart_n have_v often_o have_v the_o testimony_n that_o they_o be_v accept_v of_o he_o and_o have_v many_o time_n the_o seal_n of_o his_o presence_n and_o power_n among_o they_o yea_o my_o heart_n do_v true_o unite_v with_o and_o enjoy_v the_o lord_n in_o what_o be_v then_o give_v forth_o and_o i_o can_v never_o be_v draw_v to_o deny_v the_o truth_n and_o worth_n of_o that_o dispensation_n though_o i_o know_v it_o be_v swallow_v up_o by_o a_o great_a desolation_n soon_o follow_v after_o and_o since_o by_o the_o break_n forth_o of_o a_o more_o lively_a dispensation_n 2._o the_o overrun_v of_o that_o state_n by_o the_o subtlety_n of_o the_o enemy_n draw_v the_o mind_n of_o the_o simple_a and_o upright-hearted_n from_o the_o live_a feeling_n and_o from_o the_o inward_a power_n of_o religion_n into_o disputation_n and_o contention_n about_o form_n of_o worship_n and_o church-government_n which_o draw_v out_o the_o reason_a part_n and_o withdraw_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o mind_n from_o feed_v on_o its_o proper_a nourishment_n and_o so_o life_n decay_v in_o the_o spirit_n while_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n and_o subtlety_n increase_v in_o the_o understanding_n and_o so_o the_o upright-hearted_n miss_v of_o life_n where_o before_o they_o have_v find_v it_o be_v scatter_v up_o and_o down_o to_o seek_v after_o it_o and_o those_o who_o abode_n where_o they_o be_v grow_v dry_a barren_a and_o contentious_a lose_v the_o savour_n sweetness_n meekness_n love_n and_o indeed_o whatever_o be_v live_v and_o precious_a and_o remain_v fix_v their_o mind_n on_o that_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v depart_v from_o oh_o the_o darkness_n and_o misery_n of_o this_o state_n o_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o heart_n where_o life_n be_v stir_v for_o want_v of_o the_o live_a god_n o_o the_o death_n and_o formality_n of_o those_o that_o be_v dead_a and_o formal_a sure_o have_v not_o the_o lord_n pity_v his_o people_n in_o this_o state_n and_o appear_v to_o they_o in_o his_o life_n and_o power_n which_o this_o great_a desolation_n make_v way_n for_o it_o have_v be_v determine_v concern_v israel_n for_o ever_o for_o death_n have_v overgrow_v the_o generality_n and_o life_n be_v even_o gasp_v and_o expire_n in_o the_o single-hearted_n 3._o the_o precious_a break_n forth_o of_o the_o lord_n at_o this_o dismal_a time_n in_o this_o hour_n of_o distress_n and_o desperate_a condition_n of_o israel_n in_o some_o hide_a vessel_n who_o he_o have_v keep_v wait_v upon_o he_o and_o who_o he_o have_v preserve_v fresh_a in_o the_o sense_n of_o he_o to_o who_o his_o appearance_n be_v very_o glorious_a to_o who_o he_o open_v the_o state_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o state_n of_o his_o people_n give_v they_o the_o everlasting_a gospel_n to_o preach_v to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o promise_v they_o that_o his_o spirit_n and_o power_n shall_v go_v along_o with_o they_o bid_v they_o go_v forth_o to_o till_o and_o dress_v the_o earth_n and_o to_o gather_v his_o people_n into_o his_o fold_n and_o who_o can_v utter_v what_o the_o glory_n of_o this_o light_n be_v in_o its_o shine_a and_o break_v forth_o in_o their_o heart_n how_o welcome_n to_o their_o weary_a soul_n how_o pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o their_o spirit_n how_o demonstrative_a and_o satisfactory_a to_o their_o heart_n o_o the_o joy_n of_o that_o day_n sure_o it_o can_v never_o be_v forget_v by_o they_o wherein_o they_o sensible_o feel_v the_o pour_v down_o of_o the_o

that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o man_n yea_o the_o wisdom_n of_o israel_n corrupt_v can_v but_o despise_v and_o turn_v from_o this_o be_v not_o this_o the_o low_a of_o all_o dispensation_n be_v not_o this_o
