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.

for_o we_o may_v seem_v here_o before_o man_n to_o be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o may_v be_v think_v real_o that_o we_o be_v so_o do_v but_o mark_v what_o solomon_n say_v there_o be_v a_o way_n that_o seem_v right_a but_o the_o end_n be_v the_o end_n of_o death_n proverb_n 14.12_o and_o in_o esayah_n 1.11_o unto_o what_o purpose_n be_v the_o multitude_n of_o your_o sacrifice_n to_o i_o i_o be_o full_a of_o your_o burnt-offering_n and_o your_o sacrifice_n i_o desire_v not_o so_o much_o of_o this_o manner_n of_o ceremonial_a service_n without_o you_o will_v work_v the_o effect_n of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o cease_v to_o do_v evil_a and_o that_o they_o will_v learn_v to_o do_v well_o and_o seek_v judgement_n and_o relieve_v the_o oppress_v and_o judge_v the_o fatherless_a and_o plead_v for_o the_o widow_n and_o then_o come_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o will_v reason_n with_o you_o and_o though_o your_o sin_n be_v as_o red_a as_o scarlet_a they_o shall_v be_v as_o white_a as_o

delight_v himself_o in_o we_o but_o if_o we_o forget_v to_o bring_v these_o with_o we_o we_o have_v better_a to_o stay_v away_o than_o come_v before_o god_n in_o vain_a to_o expect_v a_o blessing_n when_o there_o be_v none_o assign_v for_o we_o it_o be_v to_o as_o much_o purpose_n for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v he_o have_v a_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n when_o he_o have_v not_o charity_n as_o it_o be_v for_o a_o builder_n to_o think_v to_o build_v a_o tower_n when_o he_o have_v but_o one_o stone_n to_o build_v it_o do_v you_o not_o mind_n what_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v to_o such_o sort_n of_o man_n james_n 3._o and_o last_o as_o the_o body_n without_o the_o spirit_n be_v dead_a so_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a it_o be_v true_a thou_o may_v have_v a_o faith_n to_o believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n even_o so_o pharaoh_n king_n of_o egypt_n exod._n 9.27_o he_o do_v believe_v there_o be_v a_o god_n in_o israel_n yet_o he_o will_v not_o obey_v he_o nor_o leave_v the_o worship_v of_o idol_n till_o the_o lord_n do_v overthrow_v he_o and_o his_o host_n into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o as_o you_o may_v read_v of_o nabuchadnezzar_n daniel_n 3_o he_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o god_n of_o daniel_n be_v the_o god_n of_o god_n and_o lord_n of_o king_n dan._n 2.47_o yet_o he_o do_v set_v up_o a_o image_n contrary_a to_o what_o daniel_n do_v worship_n and_o command_v all_o people_n to_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v it_o so_o as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o have_v a_o faith_n but_o you_o must_v have_v a_o work_a faith_n a_o live_a faith_n a_o steadfast_a faith_n and_o a_o upright_a and_o charitable_a faith_n for_o as_o paul_n say_v 2_o cor._n 9.6_o he_o that_o sow_v spare_o shall_v reap_v spare_o and_o he_o that_o sow_v

but_o that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o provide_v a_o sufficient_a satisfaction_n for_o his_o child_n without_o your_o aid_n or_o help_v but_o know_v he_o will_v try_v thou_o o_o man_n how_o far_o thy_o charity_n will_v extend_v towards_o thy_o weak_a and_o helpless_a brother_n god_n do_v not_o make_v use_n of_o we_o for_o need_n but_o for_o his_o pleasure_n that_o he_o take_v in_o see_v we_o

and_o bounty_n and_o strength_n how_o will_v all_o people_n stand_v revile_v of_o our_o god_n and_o disdain_v our_o way_n of_o worship_n if_o they_o shall_v see_v we_o walk_v undiscret_o and_o loose_o they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v lo_o behold_v how_o profane_a and_o vain_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v for_o such_o and_o such_o man_n who_o profess_v they_o walk_v in_o a_o high_a and_o more_o clear_a

and_o such_o brave_a house_n that_o we_o can_v live_v without_o and_o content_v ourselves_o without_o i_o say_v these_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v if_o that_o thing_n that_o be_v more_o needful_a be_v not_o leave_v undo_v but_o if_o one_o must_v be_v leave_v undo_v i_o say_v look_v that_o you_o leave_v the_o less_o needful_a &_o useful_a undo_v for_o know_v the_o life_n and_o body_n of_o thy_o poor_a brother_n be_v altogether_o as_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o thou_o this_o thy_o undiscret_a and_o vain_a carriage_n do_v give_v thy_o enemy_n advantage_n to_o revile_v thou_o and_o to_o defame_v thy_o brethren_n and_o to_o blaspheme_v the_o worthy_a name_n of_o our_o god_n whereas_o if_o we_o walk_v more_o strict_o more_o wise_o and_o more_o charitable_o the_o mouth_n of_o all_o such_o people_n will_v be_v stop_v and_o they_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o commend_v thy_o way_n of_o worship_n &_o to_o praise_v those_o that_o you_o do_v associate_v yourselves_o withal_o and_o to_o glorify_v the_o name_n of_o god_n by_o which_o you_o be_v call_v so_o that_o if_o you_o will_v profess_v yourselves_o to_o be_v servant_n of_o god_n you_o must_v walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n and_o think_v not_o that_o it_o be_v the_o performance_n of_o your_o duty_n to_o talk_v of_o charity_n and_o love_n but_o you_o must_v make_v it_o your_o business_n to_o administer_v and_o distribute_v your_o charity_n to_o all_o such_o as_o be_v in_o distress_n and_o want_v know_v that_o if_o you_o will_v manifest_v yourselves_o to_o be_v employ_v in_o his_o work_n you_o shall_v receive_v a_o recompense_n worthy_a of_o your_o labour_n for_o if_o god_n spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n but_o deliver_v he_o up_o to_o death_n for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o power_n of_o death_n sure_o thou_o will_v not_o think_v thy_o sabout_n too_o much_o to_o serve_v he_o in_o thy_o estate_n or_o rather_o in_o his_o own_o i_o say_v thou_o will_v not_o be_v so_o unjust_a a_o steward_n to_o let_v thy_o master_n servant_n die_v for_o want_n of_o food_n when_o he_o have_v provide_v enough_o for_o they_o no_o certain_o thou_o will_v rather_o walk_v up_o and_o down_o from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o vineyard_n to_o the_o other_o to_o see_v that_o all_o thy_o fellow_n servant_n have_v their_o meat_n in_o due_a manner_n and_o due_a season_n if_o thou_o do_v respect_v the_o love_n of_o thy_o master_n and_o the_o praise_n of_o it_o will_v redound_v so_o far_o to_o thou_o in_o the_o end_n if_o thou_o perform_v his_o will_n as_o that_o he_o will_v make_v thou_o one_o of_o his_o family_n for_o ever_o and_o thou_o shall_v reign_v in_o joy_n and_o gladness_n to_o eternity_n now_o he_o which_o do_v this_o work_n of_o charity_n must_v observe_v that_o he_o have_v not_o more_o respect_n for_o himself_o than_o for_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n for_o look_v for_o it_o for_o the_o devil_n will_v never_o leave_v search_v to_o find_v out_o one_o tradition_n or_o

build_v for_o without_o this_o uniformity_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o put_v on_o the_o whole_a armour_n of_o god_n nay_o i_o dare_v be_v bold_a that_o no_o man_n what_o ever_o can_v assure_v himself_o to_o put_v on_o any_o part_n of_o the_o armour_n of_o god_n and_o not_o take_v up_o this_o with_o it_o for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o you_o have_v arm_v yourselves_o with_o truth_n when_o you_o have_v not_o obey_v the_o god_n of_o truth_n or_o how_o can_v any_o man_n say_v that_o righteousness_n be_v his_o breastplate_n when_o he_o have_v neglect_v to_o do_v his_o master_n

when_o he_o shall_v appear_v in_o his_o glory_n to_o show_v we_o the_o heavenly_a mansion_n that_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o we_o therefore_o let_v we_o use_v all_o endeavour_n possible_o we_o can_v to_o nourish_v that_o more_o noble_a seed_n and_o let_v we_o beware_v we_o do_v not_o stifle_v it_o in_o its_o womb_n but_o rather_o seek_v to_o cherish_v it_o by_o feed_v upon_o moderation_n that_o so_o its_o birth_n may_v be_v hasten_v and_o its_o glory_n manifest_v and_o then_o thy_o pleasant_a pasture_n will_v be_v beautify_v with_o that_o incomparable_a lily_n even_o righteousness_n that_o so_o it_o may_v produce_v the_o effectual_a crop_n of_o peace_n and_o holiness_n without_o which_o no_o man_n can_v see_v god_n &_o let_v we_o not_o become_v only_a hearer_n of_o the_o word_n but_o
