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.

that_o they_o may_v not_o know_v how_o to_o sing_v the_o lord_n song_n i_o say_v that_o those_o people_n who_o god_n intend_v chief_o to_o make_v use_n of_o to_o manifest_v himself_o to_o in_o love_n

here_o mean_v by_o the_o lord_n song_n 2._o what_o it_o be_v that_o disinable_v or_o captivate_v a_o people_n from_o sing_v this_o song_n of_o zion_n 3._o in_o what_o land_n or_o state_n this_o song_n of_o zion_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v real_o experimental_o and_o true_o sing_v in_o 4._o by_o what_o mean_v a_o people_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v make_v capable_a or_o learn_v in_o this_o school_n to_o sing_v the_o lord_n song_n 1._o what_o this_o song_n of_o zion_n be_v or_o what_o the_o jew_n enemy_n may_v here_o mean_v by_o the_o demand_n of_o israel_n zion_n be_v the_o city_n that_o god_n do_v accept_v of_o for_o the_o improvement_n of_o all_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o ahraham_n and_o the_o lineage_n of_o david_n in_o that_o state_n wherein_o it_o be_v witness_v that_o abraham_n be_v god_n

friend_n and_o david_n a_o man_n after_o cod_n own_o heart_n and_o therefore_o god_n give_v this_o restimony_n of_o it_o as_o he_o witness_v that_o he_o will_v and_o do_v delight_v himself_o in_o they_o to_o wit_n abraham_n and_o david_n even_o so_o he_o witness_v that_o his_o dwell_n be_v in_o zion_n &_o that_o he_o have_v desire_v it_o for_o his_o habitation_n psalm_n 132.13_o and_o as_o he_o have_v it_o psalm_n 76.2_o zion_n be_v the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o psalm_n 84._o and_o 7._o they_o go_v from_o strength_n to_o strength_n every_o one_o of_o they_o in_o zion_n appear_v before_o god_n and_o so_o the_o song_n of_o zion_n arise_v from_o the_o occasion_n of_o god_n deal_v with_o his_o people_n in_o that_o dispensation_n that_o he_o show_v and_o manifest_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n in_o but_o it_o be_v general_o observe_v that_o wheresoever_o there_o be_v any_o mention_n make_v of_o israel_n sing_v of_o zions_n song_n there_o be_v mention_v make_v that_o the_o occasion_n of_o their_o song_n have_v relation_n to_o some_o conquest_n or_o other_o that_o they_o have_v gain_v either_o over_o moral_a enemy_n as_o man_n or_o spiritual_a lustful_a wickedness_n in_o their_o heart_n wherein_o they_o have_v experience_v god_n love_n in_o some_o way_n or_o other_o more_o than_o usual_a but_o i_o suppose_v the_o song_n that_o these_o baby_n lonian_n do_v require_v of_o they_o be_v only_o that_o song_n sing_v unto_o god_n at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o the_o egyptian_n and_o other_o such_o like_a enemy_n therefore_o i_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o former_a in_o this_o place_n but_o shall_v refer_v it_o till_o i_o come_v to_o open_v my_o text_n further_o and_o shall_v chief_o insist_v upon_o this_o part_n because_o it_o be_v most_o suitable_a to_o this_o our_o purpose_n in_o this_o particular_a for_o that_o song_n that_o be_v demand_v of_o israel_n be_v such_o a_o hymn_n wherein_o be_v mirth_n to_o be_v use_v as_o their_o enemy_n do_v understand_v mirth_n not_o that_o they_o think_v that_o the_o israelite_n shall_v ever_o again_o be_v deliver_v forth_o of_o that_o servitude_n that_o they_o by_o conquest_n have_v subject_v they_o under_o as_o be_v plain_o instance_a in_o nehemiah_n 4._o and_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o chapter_n by_o sanbalat_n and_o tobiah_n the_o amonite_n who_o stand_v

be_v speak_v by_o the_o same_o enemy_n that_o israel_n be_v here_o in_o this_o psalm_n make_v mention_n of_o as_o you_o may_v read_v in_o the_o 2d_o book_n of_o chronicle_n the_o 36_o chapter_n the_o 5_o 6_o and_z 7_o verses_z and_o that_o these_o be_v the_o people_n that_o be_v carry_v away_o captive_a in_o the_o time_n of_o jeremiah_n and_o be_v make_v mention_n of_o in_o the_o 1._o of_o ezra_n

be_v that_o israel_n make_v their_o mirth_n and_o what_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o mirth_n or_o sing_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o song_n be_v chies_o occasion_v by_o their_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o fury_n of_o the_o egyptian_n the_o song_n chief_o consist_v of_o praise_n to_o their_o god_n who_o they_o own_v to_o be_v their_o strength_n and_o

what_o the_o lord_n have_v do_v for_o israel_n in_o make_v use_n of_o so_o mean_v a_o instrument_n as_o a_o woman_n to_o take_v a_o king_n prisoner_n it_o be_v god_n say_v they_o that_o go_v forth_o
