every_o man_n intercede_v for_o his_o country_n and_o christ_n for_o we_o all_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n for_o these_o reason_n 1._o homo_fw-la est_fw-la animal_fw-la politicum_fw-la man_n be_v a_o creature_n natural_o both_o need_v and_o desire_v society_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o nor_o be_v it_o safe_a for_o man_n to_o be_v together_o but_o in_o

uncontrolled_a licentiousness_n though_o to_o the_o gross_a conceit_a vulgar_a it_o seem_v to_o be_v liberty_n yet_o we_o find_v by_o dismal_a experience_n that_o it_o produce_v nothing_o but_o disorder_n injustice_n rapine_n and_o insupportable_a slavery_n for_o now_o violence_n and_o the_o sword_n bear_v sway_n every_o man_n do_v what_o he_o can_v and_o the_o strong_a take_v all_o wherefore_o it_o be_v well_o and_o wise_o speak_v of_o calvin_n polity_n or_o government_n be_v of_o no_o less_o necessity_n and_o of_o far_o great_a dignity_n than_o bread_n and_o water_n i_o may_v

solitary_a in_o wood_n and_o cave_n like_o beast_n and_o savages_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a duty_n to_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n 2._o we_o see_v in_o the_o great_a world_n how_o all_o part_n of_o it_o dispense_v with_o their_o particular_a affection_n to_o their_o proper_a element_n when_o their_o general_a duty_n to_o the_o universe_n require_v it_o stone_n will_v forsake_v the_o earth_n the_o place_n of_o their_o private_a repose_n and_o mount_v as_o high_a as_o heaven_n to_o fill_v a_o vacuity_n to_o heal_v a_o wound_n in_o nature_n so_o also_o in_o the_o microcosm_n the_o little_a world_n of_o man_n body_n if_o the_o heart_n the_o mother_n of_o life_n be_v distress_v present_o the_o spirit_n and_o blood_n flock_n and_o flow_v from_o all_o part_n to_o relieve_v she_o now_o if_o as_o learned_a hooker_n observe_v those_o voluntary_a action_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n which_o do_v most_o resemble_v the_o necessary_a work_n of_o nature_n then_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o natural_a so_o in_o the_o politic_a body_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v every_o part_n shall_v have_v a_o main_a ear_n of_o the_o whole_a therefore_o it_o be_v our_o natural_a duty_n to_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n 3._o if_o the_o sun_n shall_v draw_v the_o ocean_n dry_a or_o the_o ocean_n swell_v to_o quench_v the_o sun_n if_o heaven_n put_v out_o his_o light_n or_o earth_n keep_v in_o her_o fruit_n the_o wind_n hold_v their_o breath_n and_o the_o cloud_n stop_v their_o bottle_n what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o world_n and_o if_o the_o world_n shall_v perish_v what_o will_v become_v of_o they_o so_o if_o we_o the_o particular_a member_n of_o jerusalem_n for_o what_o be_v jerusalem_n but_o ourselves_o incorporate_v shall_v withdraw_v our_o duty_n she_o can_v not_o subsist_v and_o if_o she_o do_v not_o neither_o can_v we_o if_o the_o whole_a be_v ruin_v the_o part_n must_v suffer_v if_o the_o tree_n fall_n the_o branch_n wither_v if_o the_o kingdom_n be_v overrun_v who_o see_v not_o who_o feel_v not_o that_o the_o substance_n life_n and_o liberty_n of_o private_a man_n must_v needs_o go_v to_o wrack_v therefore_o though_o we_o have_v no_o care_n of_o the_o public_a but_o refer_v all_o thing_n to_o ourselves_o and_o our_o domestic_a commodity_n yet_o because_o these_o be_v enclose_v in_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o universality_n it_o be_v our_o necessary_a duty_n to_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n 4._o prayer_n be_v the_o expression_n of_o desire_n the_o object_n of_o desire_n be_v good_a the_o great_a good_a be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o less_o the_o public_a good_a be_v incomparable_o great_a and_o worthy_a than_o the_o private_a by_o how_o much_o a_o whole_a society_n be_v more_o worth_a than_o one_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v our_o principal_a duty_n to_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n 5._o to_o these_o reason_n i_o will_v add_v god_n commandment_n which_o we_o can_v disobey_v unless_o first_o we_o will_v be_v

be_v worse_a to_o be_v miserable_a than_o not_o to_o be_v at_o all_o honour_n thy_o father_n and_o mother_n jerusalem_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o etc._n etc._n our_o country_n say_v the_o

with_o our_o endeavour_n and_o devotion_n the_o least_o we_o can_v do_v be_v to_o pray_v for_o she_o therefore_o it_o be_v our_o bind_a duty_n to_o pray_v for_o jerusalem_n but_o because_o jerusalem_n without_o peace_n be_v no_o right_a jerusalem_n that_o be_v the_o scene_n of_o peace_n or_o where_o peace_n be_v to_o be_v see_v but_o rather_o a_o very_a babylon_n a_o city_n of_o confusion_n therefore_o in_o the_o second_o place_n pray_v for_o peace_n the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n 1._o many_o be_v of_o the_o mind_n that_o though_o man_n have_v persist_v in_o their_o primogeneal_a
