THE Wall Glory OF JERUSALEM IN A SERMON Preached in St. PAULS-Church LONDON Before the Right Honorable The Lord Mayor Lord General Aldermen Common Council and Companies of the Honorable City of London February 28. 1659. Being a Day of Solemn Thanksgiving unto God for restoring the Parliament and Common Council and for preserving the City By Edward Reynolds D. D. London Printed by Tho Newcomb for George Thomason at the Rose and Crown in St. Pauls Church-yard 1660. To the Right Honorable THOMAS ALEYN Lord Mayor of the City of LONDON The Court of Aldermen and COMMON COUNCIL Right Honorable AMongst all the exceeding great and precious Promises which the Lord hath made unto his People these are of a very radiant Lustre and special Magnitude That he would appoint a place for them and plant them that they should dwell in a place of their own and move no more neither should the Children of Wickedness afflict them any more as before time That he would build them and not pull them down and plant them and not pluck them up and give them an Heart to know him and to return unto him with their whole Heart Whereby we understand that Stability and Sanctity Healing and Holiness are two most Eminent and Signal Mercies of God unto a People who have been long exercised with Breach upon Breach and emptied from Vessel into Vessel How sad the Condition of these discomposed and dilacerated Nations hath been how doleful the Earthquakes and Concussions both in Church and State how daring the Insolencies and Attempts of men of unstable minds destitute of solid and steady Principles acted by the various and quotidian Conduct of changeable and domestical Interests have been against our Jachin and our Boaz Authority in our Parliaments and Ministry in our Churches hath been so well known both at home and abroad as to render these Nations a Shame to themselves and a Ludibrium to the World What the great Works are which the Lord by the wonderful Series and Vicissitudes of Providence is doing in the midst of us the Hearts of his Servants hanging in suspence between Hope and Fear do tremulously attend upon and labor to understand When we consider the maturity of our mighty Sins we have great reason to fear his Wrath and when we observe the progress of his Wonderful works we have some comfortable Encouragement to hope for the renewall of his Mercy And that so much the rather because he hath stirred up your hearts in this great City to return unto him the glory due unto his name for his goodness to these Nations in restoring the Parliament and unto your selves in restoring your Council and healing the Wound inflicted on the Honor of this Renowned City That the Lord will be graciously pleased to crown and consummate the Mercies which he hath begun in guideing the hearts of the people to chuse for this next Parliament men of Eminency for Piety and Prudence who may come with healing Spirits and make it their business to repair our Breaches and be the Restorers of Paths to dwell in who may lay to heart the Interest of Christ and his Church and promote purity of Doctrine and Worship due Administration of Holy Ordinances and whatever may conduce to the Power of Godliness and the Comfort of all that love the Lord Jesus in sincerity That he will be pleased to set his Eye and his Heart upon this City for good and to dwell in it night and day to be a Wall of Fire about it and the Glory in the midst of it to appoint Salvation for Walls and Bulwarks unto it is and shall be the hearty Prayer of Your most humble and Faithful Servant in the Lord EDWARD REYNOLDS March 14. 1659. THE WALL and GLORY OF JERUSALEM In a SERMON Preached in Pauls Church London Zach. 2. 5. For I saith the Lord will be unto her a Wall of Fire round about and will be the Glory in the midst of her TWo gracious Visions the Lord giveth our Prophet in the former Chapter One of a man riding amongst the Mirtile-trees in the bottom Christ in his despised Church at Babylon The other of Four Carpenters sent to fray and cast out the Horns which had scattered the Church by both giving an assurance that he would disappoint the Enemies of his afflicted people We have here in this Chapter another Vision of a man with a measuring Line in his hand to shew that the Lord was now in a readiness to build and restore the City Temple the former we find accordingly done by the care of Nehemiah cap. 3 cap. 6. 15. the latter by Joshua and Zerubbabel Ezra 6 14 15. Now whereas it is here said ver. 4. That Jerusalem should be inhabited as Towns without Walls which may seem first to cross the History Neh. 6. 15. where we find that the Wall was finished 2. To discourage the people who having such potent and malicious Adversaries round about as they had should by that means be exposed to all the assaults and impressions which they should make upon them The meaning is that though the city within the Walls were very spacious yet the people should return in so great abundance as Josephus reports they did that multitudes should be constrained to lie without the Walls unto whom the Lord promiseth to be himself a Wall and Defence They were now called to build the city and Temple two great discouragements they Scorn Nehem. 4. 8. 1. 3. 7 8 9. Nehem. 6. 1. 10. Ezra 4. 4 5. The Lord here by a gracious promise fortifieth them against the fear of both against the fear of Danger by promising to be their Protection and against the fear of Scorn by promising to be their Glory When they are without Walls I will be their Wall when they are without Gates I will be their Gate my Salvation shall be a Bulwark unto them they shall call their Walls Salvation and their Gates praise Isai. 26 1. 60. 18. The Words set forth the Lord opposing all the Enemies removing all the fears of his people by a double promise of Protection against all powerfull oppositions of Honor against all reproachfull Insultations In both is considerable First The Author and Substance of it I saith the Lord 2. The Subject of it Jerusalem I will be unto her 3. The Description of it 1. Of the Protection by the Metaphors of a Wall and of Fire and the place of that in Circuitu round about 2. of the Honor and the place of that I will be for Glory or the Glory in the midst of her A weak people met together about an hated and invidious Enterprize opposed by strong subtle vigilant active malicious Adversaries had need have a help to defend them I saith the Lord will be an Help a Wall unto them But potent Enemies can batter Walls and scale them Ezek. 21. 22. Prov. 21. 22. nay saith the Lord I will prevent that fear I

awaken the Spirits of all wise godly and sober persons to close in some healing and uniting Counsels not to foment animosities nor cherish jealousies one against another but studying every man his own failings to be the more remiss in censuring and the more inclinable unto closing with their Christian Brethren why should we shut any out of our love here whom we dare not exclude from the Common Salvation hereafter And indeed when the Lord is pleased to send a Spirit of Unity and Agreement amongst a people to make them tender of each others safety and to look on the welfare of the parts as the common Interest of the whole they are hereby a Wall unto one another as Nabals Servants said of David and his men 1 Sam. 25. 16. Every thing is best preserved when most united It is easie to break the sticks of a Fagot when the bond is loosed and they sever'd each from other but while they are bound together they mutually preserve each other Love is a Bond Col. 3. 14. The Integrity of the Body is preserved by the Love of the Members unto one another therefore Nature hath taught weak Cattle to keep together in Flocks and Fishes in sholes and Birds in flights whereas Beasts of Prey live commonly alone as Lyons Whales Eagles Kites A Kingdom divided within it self cannot stand Therefore as Christ is not divided 1 Cor. 1. 13. would not have his bones broken nor his garment parted so neither should his Church She is never so terrible as when she is an Army with Banners united compacted into one Body 3. A Wall of Protection and Defence As the Lord promiseth to encamp about his House and to defend them Zach. 9 8. 15. He is a Rock a Tower a Shield a Chamber a Sanctuary and here a Wall to preserve and protect his people Great hath ever been the care of States to keep the Walls and Gates of Cities inviolable in the Roman Law they are called Res Sanctae divini Juris sacred things and in no case to be injured and it was a capital crime to climb over them We read in Diod Sic. what care Themistocles took to build a Wall about Athens Bec. Walls are a great defence and protection to the Cities to which they belong The Lord doth thus as a Wall protect his Church 1. In a way of Promise I saith the Lord his saying it is doing it His Word is Operative Efficacious Gods Promises are the Walls about his Church Every thing is preserved by the same word whereby it is created He upholdeth all things by the word of his power Heb. 1. 3. His Servants count themselves safe under his promise they trust in his Word Psal. 119. 81. 2. In a way of Power making bare his Arm in their Cause then when all second Helps fail and are at a stand such a defence he was to Israel at the Red Sea when Death was before and behind and on every side of them so that they were able to do nothing but only to stand still and see the Salvation of God 3. In a way of Providence 1. By Creatures with whom he maketh a Covenant in behalf of his people that they shall not but in all his holy Mountain Of this League we read Job 5 23. Hos. 2 18. Ezek. 34. 25. 2. By Enemies making Moab a Covert from his Out-casts Isai. 16 4. as dead Thorns are a fence about a Garden He doth sometimes not only restraine the wrath of Evil men as he did Labans and Esaus from hurting Jacob but doth make them helpful and beneficial unto them as the dissention between the Pharisees and Saduces was to Paul Act. 23. 6 7. As the Egyptians lent their Jewels unto Israel to hasten them away Exod. 12 35 36. 3. By Casualties ordering contingent Events and various incoherent Emergencies to the protection of his people as the noise in the Mulberry Trees 2 Sam. 5 24. The shining of the Sun on the Waters 2 Reg. 3. 22. The suddain incursion of the Philistines 1 Sam. 23 27 28 The Chaine of fortuitous Events which we may observe in the History of Joseph and in the book of Esther 4. In a way of Grace the Lord planting such beauties and rayes of spiritual Majesty upon his Servants as causeth their very Adversaries to reverence them and fear to annoy them as Herod did John and Felix Paul for wisdom maketh a mans face to shine Eccles. 8 1. There are Flowers which they call Wall-Flowers and there are Graces which I may call Wall-Graces which have a special protecting vertue in them Innocency whereby we put to silence the frowardness of foolish men 1. Pet 2 15. Wisdom which God hath given for a Defence Eccles. 7. 12. by this Abigal diverted the ruine intended against Nabal and his Family Meekness and Humiliiy for the lowest things are safest A Tempest breaks an Oake but not the Ears of Corn which yield unto it A Canon Bullet battereth a lofty Tower of Marble which is deaded by a raw mud wall A soft Spirit turneth away Wrath Prov. 15 1. Holy fortitude which is a fence against Terror Pro. 28. 1 Spiritual peace and joy which is a Garison to the Heart Phil. 4. 7. The Joy of the Lord is the strength of his Servants Nehem. 8 10. The invincible power of Faith which is a Shield against Satan and our Victory over the World Ephes. 6. 16. 1. Joh. 5 4. Hope the Anchor of the Soul the Whetstone of Christian courage the more we expect for the future the securer we are for the present against the fear of evil Lastly the Spirit of supplication which flies to the name of the Lord as a strong Tower which wrestles and prevailes with God vincit invincibilem ligat omnipotentem and therefore is a principal part of the Christian panoply Eph. 6. 18. And thus is the Lord a Wall of protection to his Church In a way of promise in a way of power in a way of providence ordering Creatures Enemies Casualties to the defence of his people and in a way of Grace And his protection is like that of a Wall in these two respects 1. He is a near present Ready Defence Evil may be at hand when Help is too for off to come seasonably in But the Wall joyns and is near unto the City Such a Defence the Lord is a present help in trouble Psal. 46. 1. A God near at hand not in a journey or a sleep or out of the way when he should help us Jer. 23. 23. Nigh unto his people in all that they call upon him for Deut. 4 7. Psal. 85 9. 2. an Adequate and proportionable defence A Wall defends a City on every side As the Enemies compass the Church about with Danger Psal. 22 12. 16. Psal. 118 10. 12. So doth the Lord compass it with mercy Psal. 32. 10. But the strongest Walls though of Iron or Brass for such we read of Ezek. 4. 3.

will be a Wall of Fire which the Enemy shall not dare come near or touch But a Wall may have gaps and breaches in it the Gates may be pulled down and consumed as we find they were Nehem. 1. 3. 6. 1. and then whatever the Wall be the breaches will let in the Enemy the poor Church is never without some Breaches or other called the Breaches of the City of David Isai. 22. 9. Some Gates pull'd down to lay them open to danger But every work of God is perfect Deut. 32. 4. Where he is a Wall he will be a Wall in Circuitu round about no Breach no Gap no Gate or Portcullis pull'd down by which danger may enter in But if the Wall be Fire what will become of the Houses of the City I will saith the Lord be a Wall unto her not a Wall against her It is Dativus Commodi a beneficial fire to the City a consuming fire to the Enemy that assaults her A fire for the three Children to walk in A fire for their Enemies to perish by A fire in the bush to Moses A fire in Brimstone to Sodom A destroying fire to the Captains of Ahaziah and a Triumphal fire a Chariot of fire to the Lords Prophet But a Wall may shut men and their misery in together the Wall of a Prison or Dungeon is no great Comfort to those that are shut within it It may be sad enough in medio though there be a Wall in Circuitu We have a relief against that too As the Lord is a Wall of Fire round about to keep out the Enemie so he is The Glory in the midst of Jerusalem to comfort his people Providence is expressed by a Circumference with an Eye in the Center God is here both in the Circumference and in the Center of Jerusalem a severe Providence in circuitu to keep off the Enemie a Gracious providence in medio to Honor and Revive his people Ignis exitium hostibus Gloria subsidium Ecclesiae The poor Church was miserably opposed oppressed by the potency of their Enemies on every side But against them All they have a God to put into the other part of the Ballance God alone is eminently unto his people whatever good thing else they want In Widowhood he is an Husband Thy Maker is thine Husband Isai. 54. 5. In Orphanship he is a Father A Father of the Fatherless is God in his holy Habitation Psal. 88. 5. In darkness a Sun in danger a Shield Psal. 84. 11. A Refuge in trouble a River in drought Psal. 46. 1 4. A safety where there is no Wall a praise where there is no Gate a Light where there is no Sun Isai. 60. 18 19. A God of Salvation in whom his Servants can triumph where all other Comforts in the World are wanting Habak. 3. 17 18. Let us hold fast our God and we need not fear our Enemie If God be for us who can be against us Rom. 8. 31. If he justifie who can condemn If he love who can seperate Many will be against us to hate us but none can be against us to hurt us Many will girde and girde again many will take Counsel and make a decree many will raunt it with Pharaoh I will pursue I will overtake I will divide the spoil my Lust shall be satisfied I will draw my Sword mine hand shall destroy Exod. 15. 9. agam ruam rapiam tundam prosternam as the proud Confident in the Comoedian But if he be Immanuel God with us they shall be broken their Counsels shall not stand their Decrees shall come to naught he will strengthen he will help he will uphold with the right hand of his Righteousness Isai. 8. 9 10. Isai. 41. 10. Let the name of your City be Jehovah Shammah the Lord is there be zealous for his truth and worship for his name and Glory let him be in medio in the midst of your Hearts to fear him of your Counsels to follow him of your Houses your Trades your Conversation to walk with him provoke him not by your Impieties against him by your unrighteousness against men and then if there be any Help or Comfort against Danger in Heaven or Earth he can command it if there be none he can create it whatever is wanting he can supply and make it good out of himself I will be a Wall 1. A Wall of Partition to separate the Church from the World as the Land of Canaan was divided by the Mediterranean Sea West ward by the Inland Seas and the River Jordan Eastward and at each end North and South with Mountains So the Church of God is severed and shut up from the rest of the World Israel dwelt alone and was reckoned amongst the Nations Num. 23 9. they are chosen out of the World John 15 19. A Garden inclosed a Spring shut up a Fountain Sealed Cant. 4 12. their Laws diverse from all people Ester 3. 8. They are not to conform to the World Rom. 12 2. nor to walk {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Eph. 2. 2. the World knows them not 1 Joh. 3. but looks on them as prodigies and men to be wondered at Zach. 3 8. 2. A Wall of Conjunction uniting the parts together in one Common Interest as the Brain is walled in by the skull the vital parts by the Ribs and the Breast to keep them firm and close together that they may not be scatered nor divided though the Members of the Church are called out from the World and are to separate from that Yet they are to be compacted and united within themselves Psal. 122. 3. to be of one Heart and of one Soul Act. 4. 32. To hold the unity of the Spirit in the bond of Peace to have a coagmentation and joining together Eph. 4. 16. Factions and Divisions in the Church are usually the Fruits of the Flesh when one is of Paul another of Apollo are ye not Carnal 1 Cor. 3. 4. The Apostle warns us to take heed of such as cause Divisions and Offences contrary to the Doctrine received as those that serve not the Lord Jesus but their own Bellies 1 Cor. 3. 3. Rom. 16. 17 18. We have seen by very sad experience when there hath been no wall nor inclosure to bound and keep within some principles of unity the wilde and exhorbitant spirits of men who either acted by Interest or driving on Designs or possessed with prejudice against received Doctrines have departed from sound Truth and brotherly Love what Flames and Confusions have overspread these Nations once famous for Unity in orthodox Truth what forsaking of Ordinances what magnifying of deceitful Lights what rage against Ministry what violations of Magistracy what bleeding of Princes what breakings of Parliaments what Phrenetick and furious Extravagances and Disorders have stained the Glory of the Reformed Religion amongst us The evidence of these doleful effects should now at last

good thing which rendereth them considerable in the Eyes of others and is esteemed their Glory Some famous for Gold and Silver as Ophir some for Spices and precious Fruits of the earth as India some for Corn as Egypt some for Balsomes as Palestine some for Valor and Justice as the Romans some for Arts and Learning as the Graecians but the superlative Glory of Jerusalem is that their God is their Glory Isai. 60 19. Jer. 2 11. It is true worldly Glory is in much more abundance amongst other men The great Monarchies of the World have been amongst Assyrians Chaldeans Persians Graecians Romans and therefore Symmachus an Heathen useth this as an Argument why we should adhere to the Old Roman Heathen Religion because that flourished but Christianity was persecuted But this External Glory though it dazle the Eye and tickle the Fancy hath no solid and permanent Goodness or proportion to immortal Souls It cannot remove the guilt of one sin it cannot give one grain of quiet to a troubled Conscience much less replenish the Soul in the Latitude of its desires God alone brings fulness with him Eph. 3. 19. All other people of the World have the Glory of his Works and so he is not far from any of them Act. 17 27. Praesentemque refert quaelibet herba Deum And yet they are said to be without God in the World Eph. 2 12. But the Lord is in the midst of his Church 1. By his Spiritual Residence and gracious presence with them Moses Prayers I beseech thee shew me thy Glory Exod. 33 18. and God answers I will make all my goodness to pass before thee he shews his Glory when he proclaimes his Goodness In Israel is the perfection of Glory Psal. 50 2. to Israel pertains the Adoption and therefore the Glory Rom. 9 4. Of the Church only are glorious things spoken Psal. 87 3. The Church is his Throne the World but his Footstoole Jer. 17 12. In the Church is the splendor of his Royal Majesty principally seen Evidences whereof in the Tabernacle and Temple were the Cloud which filled the House 1 Reg. 8 11. and the voice which spake from off the mercy seat Num. 7 89. 2. He is the Glory in the midst of his Church by his Holy Ordinances the means of Life and Salvation The Apostle calleth it a Glorious Gospel 1 Tim. 1 11. And frequently maketh mention of the Riches of the Glory thereof Rom. 9 23. Eph. 3 8. Col. 1 27. to take off the scandal and contempt which ignorant men might be apt to cast upon it Therein all Divine Excellencies are more radiant and resplendent then in all his other works he hath magnified his word above all his name Psal. 138. 2. Therein is conspicuous his manifold Wisdom in contriving a way to punish the sin and yet to save the sinner to reconcile the seeming Cross demands both of Justice and Mercy that the one may be satisfied and the other magnified Eph. 3 10. His free and glorious Grace so superabounding above all the abundance of our sins Eph. 1 6. Rom. 5 20 21. His mighty power in rescuing us out of the Kingdom of darkness in changing our Wills subduing our Lusts captivating our Thoughts cleansing our Consciences pulling down Strong-holds and imaginations and every high thing that exalteth it self against the Knowledge of God 2. Cor. 10 4 5. Eph. 1 19 20. His glorious Holiness transforming us into the Image of his dear Son 2 Cor. 3 18. Luke 1 74 75. His Eternal Blessedness who in the Gospel is set forth as the Hope and Treasure the Life and Salvation of those that trust in him Col. 1. 27. 3 3 4. For Glory arising from a manifestation of Excellencies all the Divine Vertues and Excellencies of God are more conspicuous in the Gospel of Grace then in all other his works or dispensations The saving Light of supernatural Mysteries the heavenly beauties of spiritual worship the shining Lustre of Evangelical Obedience all set forth the Glory of those Ordinances wherein they are discovered and prescribed 3. As by his gracious presence and his Divine Ordinances so by the most Happy State whereinto we are translated is the Lord the Glory in the midst of his Church That State standeth in glorious Relations glorious Habits and glorious Priviledges There are two Glorious Relations belonging to this Happy State 1. A Relation of Righteousness the Guilt of sin being removed and the sinner by the Gift of the Righteousness of Christ reconciled unto God and so enabled to Glory though not in himself yet in the Lord 1 Cor. 1 31. 2. A Relation of Sonship whereby we are estated by gracious Adoption in an heavenly Nobility and have right to a glorious Inheritance 1 John 3 1. are a kind of first fruits of the Creatures Jam. 1 18 Fellow Heirs with Christ Rom. 8. 17. Princes of the people Psal. 47 9. Nobles of men Act. 17. 11. All the World is not able to heap so much Honor upon a man as this one {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} or dignity of being the Sons of God 2. In Glorious Habits whereby we are transformed into the Image of Christ who is the glory of God for God doth most notably express his Glory in any Creature by fashioning that Creature to the likeness of his Son This Image standeth in these three things 1. In Holiness Eph. 4 24. Holiness sets forth Gods own Glory he is Glorious in Holiness Exod. 15. 11. The Angels are honored with the Title of Saints Deut. 33. 2. and our primitive condition wherein we were created after the Image of God is called a State of Honor Psal. 49 20. 149 9. 2. In Peace and spiritual Joy for faith in the promises of Salvation giving a kind of Pre-existence unto the Glory to come and causing a Beleever to waite with quiet assurance in the hope thereof doth thereupon fill the Soul with the Peace of God which passeth understanding and causeth it to rejoyce with joy unspeakable and full of Glory 1 Pet. 1 8. 3. In Blessedness which is the consummation of Holiness and Peace in the presence of God which is {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} called by the name of Glory Col. 3 4. 3. In Glorious Priviledges and Immunities belonging to the Citizens of Jerusalem Liberty from the Tyranny of Satan and powers of darkness Communion in the Love and prayers of all Saints 1. John 1 7. Boldness to come unto the Throne of Grace Eph. 3 12. Heb. 4 16. Victory over Enemies and Temptations nothing being able to separate us from the Love of God the Spirit of Glory resting upon us even in our sufferings enabling us to glory in them Rom. 5 3. Act. 5 41. As the Cloud in the Temple is called the Glory of the Lord 1 Reg. 8 10 11. So the Lord is the Glory of his people even when they are filled with Clouds of affliction It is a great Glory

and break out into a Flame in what danger the Function of a Learned and Orthodox Ministry and the maintenance thereof was to be devoured How desperately the Ordiances were despised the Truths of Religion rejected what dangerous divulsions daily more and more made from the Unity of the Church of God amongst us How near we were brought unto the brow of the precipice it is now our Comfort that we can with thankfulness recount as surviving so great dangers as well as with sorrow bewaile our exposedness unto them How should our Hearts be enlarged and our Mouths filled and our Lives acted with the Praises of the Lord what Memorials and Monuments and Eben-Ezers should we every where erect of those wonders and terrible things which we looked not for which the Lord hath wrought for us in a kind of Pararel and proportion to those which he wrought for Israel at the Red Sea That then when force after force and breach after breach had been made upon the solemn Conventions of the Nations and the Ancient Honor of the English Parliaments had been ravished and prostitated to the Will and Passions of their own Servants when the Licentiousness of the times made way for men of corrupt Principles and daring Confidence tantùm non to spit in the Face of Magistracy and Ministry and all sobriety of Judgment amongst us then for the Lord to stir up the Spirits of all the people of the Land as one man solemnly to own their Native Liberties and with united Affections to implore the Vindication of them then for the Lord to awaken an Honorable Instrument to assert the Priviledges and Dignities of conculcated Parliaments and to restore the many grave and Eminent Members there of to their long interrupted right and to the administration of their Trust again To stand by this Famous City who had chearfully with their Treasures their Swords their Lives their Counsels aided and asserted the publick Engagements That then when your Hearts were ready to sink at the demolishing of your City Gates immediately they should be revived with the opening of your Parliament gates that those worthy Patriots Lovers of Truth and Righteousness might enter in as we ought with great Love and Honor to respect the Instruments so ought we to ascribe the whole glory unto God alone who only doth wondrous things at whose presence the Mountains have flowed down and become a plain Who if we follow on to know the Lord if we provoke him not by murmuring against Instruments or by deifying of them but second their Endeavors with our prayers and Gods Mercies with our Praises will perfect what he hath begun And as he hath laid the Foundation will so consummate the whole structure of our Settlement that we shall at last bring forth the Head-Stone thereof with Shouting and Acclamations Crying Grace Grace unto it FINIS 2 Sam. 7. 10.
