Rejoyce ye with Jerusalem and be glad with her all ye that love her rejoyce for joy with her all ye that mourne for her That ye may sucke and be satisfyed with the breasts of her consolations that ye may milke out and be delighted with the abundance of her glory For thus saith the Lord Behold I will extend peace to her like a river and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing streame then shall ye sucke ye shall be borne upon her sides and be dandled upon her knees As one whom her mother comforteth so will I comfort you and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem And when ye see this your heart shall rejoyce and your bones shall flourish like an herbe and the hand of the Lord shall be known towards his servants and his indignation towards his enemies TO THE CHRISTIAN READER NOt for applause not for preferment for though both these may safely and should freely be conferred where desert is yet neither of them can without sinne be made the Marke and White of our endeavours but for the manifestation of Gods glory for my owne comfort and pacification and for the good of the whole Church did I at first adventure on the contemplation and do now acquaint thee with the contents of this Theame The draught I confesse is rude and more like a heape then a building but yet it is some helpe to the Architect when his materials are in a readinesse and my hope is that this lumpe of Meditations may by Gods blessing draw on some skilfull Artisan to mould them into a plat-forme and modell suteable to the worth and capacity of their subject Sure I am the Apostles advertisement I would not Brethren Rom. 11. v. 25. that ye should be ignorant of this mystery lest ye should be wise in your owne conceites moves me not onely to conceive that it is very dangerous not to subscribe to the Jewes salvation but withall that it is no lesse then our bounden duty earnestly to enquire into the state and condition of the world both at and after the accomplishing thereof And indeed what were truth worth if not the looking after I confesse againe that the gifts of Gods Spirit are not all of the same sise and measure and that he who hath five talents must needs goe farther and doe more in the search then he that hath but one and therefore I wish that the Calebs Joshua's of the ministry who notwithstanding the soothings the insinuating fabulous relations of fleshly faint-hearted temporizers have already choakt vanquisht the viperous brood the aspiring monstrous Anakims of disciplinary doctri●ll innovations that these I say to whom God hath given most would strive to do most for him in the clearing of this particular also at least that they would not scornfully reject this taske for no better reason then because none of our Ioh. 7. v. 8.

Throne of his Kingdome which is to be (n) Jer. 31.38 built againe by men for that imperiall Hierusalem not (o) 2 Cor. 5.1 made with hands eternall in the heavens Another Prophesie much like unto this is that of Amos in his 9. chap. at the 8. vers Behold the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinfull Kingdome and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob saith the Lord for loe I will command and I will sift the house of Israel among all Nations like as corne is sifted in a sieve yet shall not the least graine fall upon the earth And at the 11. vers In that day will I raise up the Tabernacle of David that is fallen and close up the breaches thereof and I will raise up his ruines as in the dayes of old that they may possesse the remnant of Edom and of all the Heathen that are called by my Name saith the Lord that doth this I will bring againe the captivitie of my people Israel and they shall build the wast cities and inhabit them and they shall plant vineyards and drinke the wine thereof they shall also make gardens and eate the fruit of them and I will plant them upon their land and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them saith the Lord God Now although this Prophesie tooke effect on the tenne Tribes at their transplantation began by (p) 1 Chro. 5. v. 6. 2 King 15. v. 29.
