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.	Watson, Thomas, d. 1686.	1661 (1661)	Wing W1131; Thomason E1856_4; ESTC R210370	59,985	120

you_o will_v walk_v in_o the_o path_n and_o way_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o christ_n be_v the_o true_a and_o righteous_a way_n describe_v in_o the_o gospel_n and_o he_o think_v it_o not_o too_o much_o to_o sacrifice_v his_o life_n for_o we_o and_o great_a charity_n thou_o can_v not_o have_v than_o to_o yield_v up_o thy_o life_n in_o obedience_n to_o the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o no_o man_n can_v come_v to_o the_o father_n but_o by_o and_o in_o he_o and_o as_o for_o thy_o take_a faith_n to_o be_v thy_o shield_n when_o thou_o go_v to_o withstand_v the_o devil_n thou_o will_v be_v overcome_v if_o thou_o do_v not_o take_v love_n along_o with_o thou_o for_o the_o devil_n will_v quick_o find_v out_o a_o place_n to_o dart_v thou_o in_o if_o thou_o leave_v charity_n behind_o thou_o for_o this_o take_v what_o the_o apostle_n say_v show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n and_o then_o thou_o may_v put_v on_o the_o helmet_n of_o salvation_n and_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o as_o he_o that_o redeem_v you_o be_v holy_a so_o be_v you_o holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n 1_o pet._n 1.13_o and_o elsewhere_o hereby_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v

to_o encounter_v withal_o for_o thy_o enemy_n go_v about_o daily_o to_o seek_v to_o circumvent_v thou_o so_o that_o when_o thou_o make_v war_n against_o lie_v and_o deceit_n beware_v he_o do_v not_o

yourself_o against_o unrighteousness_n he_o will_v be_v present_v thou_o with_o a_o seem_a righteousness_n that_o if_o you_o be_v not_o very_o watchful_a shall_v give_v you_o more_o content_a seem_o than_o any_o that_o you_o have_v choose_v if_o you_o do_v not_o know_v experimental_o the_o odour_n that_o be_v in_o your_o choice_n for_o he_o will_v endeavour_v either_o to_o delude_v thou_o that_o thou_o be_v more_o righteous_a than_o such_o and_o such_o man_n and_o so_o set_v thou_o a_o judge_n of_o other_o and_o a_o take_n god_n office_n forth_o of_o his_o hand_n that_o he_o may_v bereave_v thou_o of_o the_o efficacy_n of_o thy_o labour_n that_o way_n or_o else_o endeavour_v to_o sow_v some_o tare_n among_o thy_o wheat_n &_o make_v you_o delight_v yourself_o in_o embrace_v for_o righteousness_n for_o some_o one self_o end_n or_o other_o for_o his_o tare_n be_v many_o time_n so_o like_o thy_o wheat_n that_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o gather_v they_o out_o of_o it_o without_o it_o be_v so_o that_o thou_o be_v very_o well_o insence_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o taste_n of_o they_o and_o as_o for_o thy_o fervency_n for_o the_o gospel_n of_o god_n in_o oppose_v all_o his_o assault_n for_o this_o likewise_o he_o will_v not_o want_v endeavour_n to_o stir_v up_o enemy_n both_o of_o thy_o seem_a friend_n and_o know_v enemy_n that_o if_o he_o can_v entice_v thou_o to_o a_o false_a

he_o will_v try_v thou_o further_o if_o god_n permit_v he_o power_n so_o as_o to_o put_v thou_o into_o prison_n nay_o it_o may_v be_v to_o take_v away_o thy_o life_n also_o for_o thy_o servant_n zeal_n for_o the_o gospel_n but_o know_v if_o thou_o be_v bring_v so_o far_o thy_o god_n will_v not_o leave_v thou_o then_o though_o thou_o may_v seem_o have_v a_o cloud_n for_o a_o season_n yet_o the_o sun_n will_v present_o break_v through_o and_o expel_v the_o darkness_n of_o the_o time_n at_o a_o instant_n yea_o in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n happy_a be_v he_o that_o overcome_v all_o the_o

time_n but_o you_o must_v press_v forward_o still_o you_o be_v not_o yet_o come_v to_o discern_v the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o your_o urgent_a and_o needful_a care_n for_o we_o be_v now_o to_o discuss_v the_o grand_a part_n of_o his_o enmity_n in_o seek_v to_o keep_v we_o from_o believe_v in_o the_o captain_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o in_o rely_v upon_o he_o for_o all_o out_o strength_n now_o he_o be_v labour_v to_o deceive_v we_o of_o take_v up_o this_o wapon_n of_o faith_n so_o he_o will_v endeavour_v to_o fix_v our_o mind_n upon_o our_o own_o strength_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o what_o conquest_n we_o have_v it_o be_v mere_o of_o our_o own_o care_n and_o of_o our_o own_o watchfulness_n yea_o he_o will_v not_o leave_v any_o corner_n of_o thy_o heart_n unattempted_a if_o he_o see_v that_o there_o be_v any_o possibility_n of_o get_v within_o thy_o wall_n under_o a_o pretend_a notion_n of_o friendship_n that_o so_o he_o may_v deceive_v and_o rob_v thou_o of_o this_o thy_o weapon_n it_o be_v the_o chief_a weapon_n of_o our_o defence_n if_o true_o fix_v by_o which_o we_o be_v enable_v to_o quench_v all_o the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o so_o keep_v our_o rare_a jewel_n from_o all_o his_o demonical_a delusion_n for_o if_o he_o once_o get_v this_o shield_n of_o faith_n from_o thou_o by_o any_o deceitful_a contrivance_n he_o will_v make_v a_o conquest_n of_o thou_o at_o his_o pleasure_n for_o he_o know_v it_o be_v not_o for_o he_o to_o assault_v any_o that_o have_v this_o shield_n in_o their_o hand_n to_o defend_v themselves_o withal_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o for_o he_o to_o attempt_v the_o overthrow_a of_o these_o by_o any_o ordinary_a way_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o their_o way_n of_o worship_n or_o to_o stand_v in_o opposition_n to_o maintain_v a_o pitch_a battle_n against_o such_o who_o have_v their_o faith_n true_o ground_v and_o fix_v upon_o the_o love_n and_o strength_n of_o christ_n jesus_n but_o he_o will_v not_o lack_v flattery_n such_o as_o may_v seem_o sympathize_v with_o the_o true_a and_o grand_a emulation_n of_o truth_n in_o show_n &_o profession_n though_o it_o shall_v differ_v in_o the_o intent_n or_o end_n of_o their_o do_v it_o therefore_o i_o say_v he_o that_o be_v a_o warrior_n in_o a_o christian_a warfare_n must_v not_o war_v only_o against_o know_v waver_n and_o unconstancy_n and_o unstability_n of_o mind_n but_o against_o seem_a steadfastness_n and_o seem_a confidence_n and_o seem_a unmoveableness_n also_o for_o you_o must_v stand_v upon_o your_o watch_n and_o examine_v every_o thought_n that_o come_v by_o you_o and_o try_v it_o whether_o it_o will_v abide_v the_o touchstone_n or_o not_o in_o every_o particular_a before_o you_o grant_v it_o admittance_n for_o you_o may_v be_v deceive_v if_o you_o do_v not_o take_v great_a heed_n for_o the_o devil_n may_v appear_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o do_v many_o thing_n unlikely_a it_o may_v be_v as_o thou_o think_v for_o he_o to_o do_v for_o he_o can_v be_v as_o faithful_a and_o as_o religious_a as_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n but_o he_o will_v not_o be_v willing_a that_o you_o shall_v attribute_v any_o thing_n to_o god_n as_o proceed_v from_o he_o or_o that_o you_o shall_v aim_v at_o his_o glory_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o though_o your_o work_n of_o faith_n be_v seem_o the_o same_o in_o show_n or_o ceremony_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v the_o same_o in_o event_n and_o effect_n yet_o it_o have_v be_v so_o like_o the_o true_a faith_n as_o that_o the_o people_n of_o old_a have_v cry_v peace_n peace_n when_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o say_v it_o yea_o he_o have_v be_v so_o subtle_a in_o his_o end_n as_o that_o he_o have_v deceive_v both_o prophet_n and_o people_n and_o he_o do_v appear_v very_o subtle_o with_o these_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n for_o they_o do_v

do_v not_o come_v so_o frequent_o as_o they_o be_v use_v to_o do_v for_o he_o that_o know_v not_o how_o to_o suffer_v with_o he_o never_o know_v how_o to_o rejoice_v with_o he_o and_o he_o that_o be_v he_o know_v how_o to_o do_v both_o but_o let_v not_o any_o one_o mistake_v i_o herein_o and_o think_v that_o i_o conclude_v that_o every_o one_o that_o suffer_v must_v suffer_v for_o christ_n i_o must_v confess_v i_o hardly_o do_v ever_o read_v that_o any_o moralist_n can_v suffer_v for_o what_o he_o do_v maintain_v or_o seek_v to_o maintain_v if_o he_o can_v any_o way_n prevent_v his_o suffering_n but_o in_o case_n he_o can_v not_o avoid_v suffer_v any_o man_n will_v rather_o choose_v that_o in_o which_o he_o have_v have_v most_o experience_n as_o a_o philosopher_n for_o his_o philosophy_n and_o a_o martialist_n for_o his_o adventure_n in_o war_n but_o happy_a be_v he_o that_o can_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n as_o free_o as_o keep_v it_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o his_o lord_n and_o master_n in_o due_a respect_n to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o not_o for_o self-end_n or_o self-glory_n many_o i_o know_v will_v be_v harp_v at_o these_o expression_n but_o let_v they_o know_v that_o as_o i_o do_v not_o conclude_v the_o scripture_n to_o be_v void_a of_o reason_n so_o also_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v beyond_o the_o moral_a reason_n of_o man_n to_o find_v out_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o as_o concern_v war_n i_o must_v count_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n in_o fashion_n in_o our_o day_n and_o for_o i_o to_o seek_v to_o alter_v this_o fashion_n i_o shall_v lie_v liable_a to_o the_o censure_n of_o man_n yet_o let_v the_o scripture_n be_v true_a and_o have_v that_o respect_n to_o they_o that_o you_o shall_v have_v and_o then_o let_v i_o be_v what_o you_o please_v i_o shall_v be_v brief_a in_o this_o particular_a at_o this_o time_n only_o refer_v you_o to_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n that_o he_o leave_v with_o his_o disciple_n mat._n the_o 26._o and_o 52_o &_o 53._o verse_n put_v up_o thy_o sword_n again_o into_o his_o place_n for_o all_o they_o that_o take_v the_o sword_n shall_v perish_v with_o the_o sword_n think_v thou_o that_o i_o can_v now_o pray_v to_o my_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v give_v i_o more_o than_o 12_o legion_n of_o angel_n but_o how_o then_o shall_v the_o scripture_n be_v fulfil_v that_o thus_o it_o must_v be_v and_o 2_o cor._n 10.4_o for_o the_o weapon_n of_o our_o warfare_n be_v not_o carnal_a but_o mighty_a through_o god_n to_o the_o pull_v down_o of_o strong_a hold_n cast_v down_o

because_o you_o ask_v not_o you_o ask_v and_o receive_v not_o because_o you_o ask_v amiss_o that_o you_o may_v consume_v it_o upon_o your_o lust_n he_o that_o be_v a_o friend_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o as_o you_o read_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o chronicle_n 28._o and_o 3._o but_o god_n say_v unto_o i_o thou_o shall_v not_o build_v a_o house_n for_o my_o name_n because_o thou_o have_v be_v a_o man_n of_o war_n and_o have_v shed_v blood_n so_o that_o if_o that_o temple_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v build_v by_o blood_n that_o be_v but_o a_o type_n of_o the_o true_a temple_n sure_o the_o true_a temple_n can_v be_v build_v with_o blood_n or_o war_n but_o in_o peace_n it_o be_v not_o that_o egypt_n be_v righteous_a enough_o to_o build_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o lord_n though_o they_o may_v be_v make_v a_o scourge_n to_o edom_n as_o nabuchadnezzar_n be_v to_o israel_n i_o will_v not_o accuse_v a_o defensive_a sword_n because_o i_o have_v see_v that_o the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n be_v not_o all_o of_o they_o make_v know_v to_o any_o one_o man_n but_o i_o can_v find_v that_o any_o disciple_n of_o christ_n shall_v use_v a_o moral_a sword_n as_o he_o be_v a_o disciple_n of_o christ_n or_o a_o builder_n of_o the_o true_a temple_n for_o he_o that_o be_v a_o builder_n of_o the_o true_a temple_n ought_v not_o to_o take_v revenge_n against_o his_o enemy_n but_o commit_v his_o cause_n to_o the_o lord_n to_o who_o vengeance_n belong_v and_o therefore_o christ_n bid_v we_o to_o forgive_v our_o enemy_n lest_o we_o shall_v seek_v vengeance_n where_o god_n seek_v none_o for_o we_o be_v apt_a to_o condemn_v where_o god_n justify_v and_o to_o set_v ourselves_o upon_o his_o seat_n where_o be_v any_o of_o god_n messenger_n but_o have_v receive_v this_o censure_n from_o the_o man_n of_o their_o time_n therefore_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v liable_a to_o this_o fail_v christ_n warn_v we_o not_o to_o judge_v our_o brethren_n lest_o we_o be_v judge_v for_o to_o his_o own_o master_n he_o stand_v or_o fall_v nay_o we_o be_v forbid_v to_o judge_v according_a to_o what_o it_o appear_v to_o we_o john_n 7.24_o judge_v not_o according_a to_o appearance_n but_o judge_v righteous_a judgement_n and_o no_o man_n can_v judge_v by_o appearance_n in_o many_o thing_n but_o he_o will_v doubt_v whether_o he_o judge_v right_a or_o not_o therefore_o as_o we_o can_v measure_v god_n love_n let_v we_o forbear_v judge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v better_a than_o other_o lest_o we_o undervalue_v christ_n suffering_n but_o as_o concern_v a_o offensive_a war_n i_o find_v not_o any_o ground_n in_o scripture_n for_o it_o and_o if_o any_o man_n can_v show_v i_o any_o scripture_n for_o it_o since_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n at_o which_o time_n the_o testament_n be_v of_o force_n i_o shall_v not_o take_v it_o ill_o at_o his_o hand_n for_o i_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n as_o to_o flatter_v any_o one_o job_n 17.5_o he_o that_o

what_o they_o shall_v do_v he_o do_v not_o disencourage_v they_o in_o their_o undertake_n but_o bid_v they_o do_v violence_n to_o no_o man_n and_o be_v content_a with_o their_o wage_n i_o answer_v

5.44_o so_o shall_v you_o approve_v yourselves_o child_n of_o your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o i_o suppose_v that_o christ_n do_v never_o advise_v any_o of_o his_o disciple_n to_o go_v to_o war_n with_o the_o worst_a of_o their_o enemy_n nor_o to_o fight_v for_o a_o kingdom_n of_o this_o world_n but_o rather_o suffrr_v by_o the_o man_n of_o this_o world_n if_o one_o must_v be_v and_o as_o for_o his_o advice_n to_o the_o soldier_n i_o suppose_v it_o be_v rather_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o break_v their_o engagement_n in_o what_o they_o be_v engage_v in_o as_o in_o respect_n to_o their_o governor_n or_o their_o loyalty_n to_o their_o promise_n rather_o than_o his_o own_n of_o the_o war_n to_o be_v according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o those_o for_o who_o they_o fight_v be_v such_o as_o christ_n do_v condemn_v to_o be_v mere_a worldling_n and_o therefore_o how_o can_v their_o cause_n be_v good_a and_o yet_o he_o will_v not_o advise_v they_o to_o break_v their_o engagement_n but_o to_o act_v truth_n that_o those_o who_o he_o have_v speak_v against_o for_o do_v of_o injustice_n may_v not_o have_v any_o thing_n to_o accuse_v he_o of_o neither_o in_o
