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 be_v one_o outward_o neither_o be_v that_o circumcision_n that_o be_v outward_a in_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o be_v a_o jew_n that_o be_v one_o inward_o and_o circumcision_n be_v that_o of_o

this_o land_n where_o this_o song_n of_o zion_n may_v be_v real_o and_o experimental_o and_o true_o sing_v in_o but_o i_o shall_v leave_v this_o particular_a at_o this_o time_n and_o shall_v desire_v every_o one_o that_o be_v desirous_a to_o be_v a_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o land_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o his_o duty_n must_v be_v in_o zion_n or_o in_o judah_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v

manifest_a unto_o your_o view_n these_o two_o follow_a observation_n first_o it_o chief_o concern_v we_o to_o search_v who_o be_v the_o lawgiver_n in_o zion_n or_o who_o it_o be_v that_o instruct_v jacob_n or_o israel_n second_o what_o these_o law_n or_o statute_n be_v that_o be_v teach_v or_o ought_v to_o be_v teach_v in_o israel_n and_o how_o to_o be_v observe_v first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n be_v make_v mention_n of_o in_o several_a place_n to_o be_v the_o instucter_n of_o israel_n as_o psalm_n 78.5_o he_o establish_v a_o testimony_n in_o jacob_n and_o a_o law_n in_o israel_n and_o in_o isaiah_n the_o 48._o and_o 17._o verse_n thus_o say_v the_o lord_n thy_o redeemer_n the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n i_o be_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n which_o teach_v thou_o to_o profit_n which_o lead_v the_o by_o the_o way_n that_o thou_o shall_v go_v and_o in_o the_o 51_o of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o 4._o verse_n harken_v unto_o i_o o_o my_o people_n and_o give_v ear_n unto_o i_o o_o my_o nation_n for_o a_o law_n shall_v proceed_v from_o i_o and_o i_o will_v make_v judgement_n to_o rest_v for_o a_o light_n to_o the_o people_n if_o any_o one_o be_v not_o satisfy_v that_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o israel_n the_o forego_n word_n will_v certify_v he_o better_o and_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 40_o of_o isaiah_n and_o the_o 9_o verse_n o_o zion_n and_o jerusalem_n that_o bring_v good_a tiding_n lift_v up_o thy_o voice_n and_o be_v not_o afraid_a and_o say_v unto_o the_o city_n of_o judah_n behold_v your_o god_n i_o may_v instance_n hundred_o of_o place_n more_o to_o prove_v this_o truth_n to_o you_o but_o i_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v needless_a for_o wherever_o there_o be_v any_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o author_n of_o israel_n law_n and_o statute_n god_n be_v make_v mention_n of_o in_o some_o one_o degree_n or_o other_o to_o be_v the_o giver_n of_o they_o if_o it_o be_v mention_v of_o israel_n as_o israel_n or_o as_o i_o have_v define_v israel_n in_o my_o foremention_v of_o they_o which_o be_v not_o israel_n in_o name_n or_o show_v but_o in_o truth_n &_o verity_n it_o may_v be_v some_o one_o or_o other_o will_v be_v inquisitive_a to_o demand_v of_o i_o what_o god_n be_v as_o i_o have_v oftentimes_o have_v object_v against_o i_o but_o i_o shall_v speak_v very_o little_a to_o that_o in_o this_o place_n but_o in_o case_n any_o one_o be_v desirous_a to_o know_v far_o if_o i_o find_v he_o willing_a and_o desirous_a to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o this_o or_o any_o other_o particular_a that_o i_o shall_v make_v mention_n of_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o satisfy_v he_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o place_n convenient_a first_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o alpha_n and_o omega_n the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o second_o god_n be_v say_v to_o feed_v his_o flock_n and_o that_o he_o be_v their_o shepherd_n and_o in_o other_o place_n to_o be_v god_n of_o fury_n to_o the_o wicked_a it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o another_o to_o look_v upon_o he_o as_o he_o be_v in_o we_o or_o in_o his_o manifestation_n but_o i_o shall_v defer_v this_o discourse_n in_o this_o place_n suppose_v the_o unfoldng_n of_o it_o will_v be_v rather_o a_o stumble_a block_n then_o any_o thing_n of_o edification_n to_o many_o therefore_o i_o shall_v advise_v every_o one_o whatever_n to_o assure_v himself_o that_o there_o be_v no_o iniquity_n in_o he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v a_o hater_n of_o lie_n and_o a_o destroyer_n of_o all_o the_o device_n of_o the_o wicked_a thus_o i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o the_o second_o particular_a what_o these_o law_n or_o statute_n be_v that_o be_v give_v to_o israel_n in_o zion_n or_o the_o holy_a land_n as_o some_o read_v it_o or_o judah_n or_o in_o jerusalem_n and_o how_o to_o be_v observe_v first_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o as_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v holy_a so_o be_v his_o statute_n and_o law_n holy_a also_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 119_o psal_n the_o 137_o verse_n righteous_a art_n thou_o o_o lord_n and_o upright_o be_v thy_o judgement_n thy_o testimony_n that_o thou_o have_v command_v be_v righteous_a and_o very_a faithful_a and_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 7_o verse_n of_o this_o psalm_n i_o will_v praise_v thou_o with_o uprightness_n of_o heart_n when_o i_o shall_v have_v learn_v thy_o righteous_a judgement_n so_o that_o you_o see_v plain_o that_o the_o statute_n and_o law_n and_o commandment_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n to_o these_o inhabitant_n be_v righteousness_n and_o truth_n and_o equity_n and_o love_n and_o faithfulness_n and_o as_o you_o have_v a_o righteous_a lawgiver_n and_o righteous_a law_n so_o you_o must_v observe_v to_o serve_v he_o in_o righteousness_n if_o you_o intend_v to_o be_v a_o subject_a in_o this_o land_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 118_o psalm_n and_o the_o 19_o &_o 20._o verse_n open_v to_o i_o the_o gate_n of_o righteousness_n &_o i_o will_v go_v into_o they_o &_o praise_v the_o lord_n this_o gate_n of_o the_o lord_n into_o which_o the_o righteous_a shall_v enter_v thou_o must_v not_o stand_v to_o frame_v a_o service_n to_o seek_v the_o bounty_n and_o gift_n of_o man_n in_o it_o but_o the_o command_v of_o god_n happy_a be_v that_o people_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o uniformity_n that_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v of_o they_o that_o the_o statute_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v due_o observe_v in_o their_o land_n but_o before_o i_o proceed_v any_o further_a let_v we_o consider_v what_o danger_n may_v ensue_v upon_o those_o that_o be_v inhabitant_n in_o this_o land_n if_o in_o case_n they_o shall_v obey_v and_o keep_v the_o statute_n and_o law_n in_o this_o land_n first_o i_o say_v that_o no_o man_n as_o man_n but_o be_v very_o apt_a to_o deserve_v the_o be_v cast_v forth_o from_o inhabit_v in_o this_o land_n but_o the_o lawgiver_n be_v a_o god_n of_o mercy_n as_o well_o as_o justice_n but_o in_o case_n thou_o be_v as_o strict_a a_o observer_n as_o may_v be_v yet_o thou_o can_v assure_v thyself_o of_o no_o constant_a content_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o whilst_o thou_o be_v in_o this_o thy_o decayable_a and_o frail_a building_n or_o house_n of_o this_o world_n there_o will_v be_v strive_n and_o turmoiling_n in_o the_o several_a revolution_n and_o change_n and_o whilst_o we_o be_v strive_v to_o conquer_v they_o by_o our_o more_o high_a aspire_n the_o world_n the_o flesh_n and_o the_o devil_n will_v be_v strive_v to_o show_v we_o their_o present_a seem_a delight_n think_v to_o intermingle_v out_o more_o serious_a and_o reasonable_a undertake_n with_o those_o thing_n that_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o show_n only_o of_o godliness_n in_o they_o and_o nothing_o of_o the_o power_n this_o be_v the_o great_a warfare_n in_o which_o you_o must_v engage_v as_o a_o combitant_n if_o you_o come_v into_o this_o land_n for_o the_o flesh_n will_v be_v strive_v against_o the_o spirit_n and_o the_o spirit_n against_o the_o flesh_n and_o those_o two_o be_v contrary_a so_o that_o if_o you_o will_v seek_v after_o any_o dutable_a riches_n any_o treasure_n that_o the_o moth_n and_o rust_n will_v not_o destroy_v but_o it_o will_v abide_v all_o trial_n that_o be_v of_o this_o life_n and_o will_v be_v the_o pure_a each_o time_n

let_v not_o any_o seek_v to_o circumvent_v i_o in_o this_o my_o description_n i_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o people_n of_o god_n promise_v and_o a_o people_n that_o be_v in_o darkness_n but_o i_o speak_v of_o they_o that_o engage_v when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o tuition_n of_o the_o lord_n or_o at_o least_o way_n own_o themselves_o so_o to_o be_v and_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o law_n or_o under_o the_o law_n as_o they_o be_v understand_v and_o the_o promise_n under_o the_o gospel_n for_o under_o the_o law_n any_o man_n may_v put_v away_o his_o wife_n only_o give_v she_o a_o bill_n of_o divorcement_n but_o christ_n tell_v we_o that_o it_o be_v adultery_n to_o do_v it_o in_o the_o gospel_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o commit_v adultery_n also_o that_o be_v put_v away_o in_o that_o nature_n so_o it_o be_v not_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v customary_a with_o man_n that_o be_v justifiable_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n 3._o israel_n have_v experience_v that_o god_n do_v make_v it_o his_o desire_n to_o keep_v those_o engagement_n that_o he_o have_v make_v to_o they_o as_o it_o be_v often_o mention_v in_o the_o scripture_n though_o they_o have_v break_v their_o engagement_n as_o to_o their_o particular_a and_o general_a fail_n yet_o god_n be_v so_o tender_a lest_o he_o shall_v break_v his_o part_n as_o that_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v stand_v and_o meditate_v before_o he_o will_v any_o way_n insist_v upon_o any_o urgent_a or_o austere_a punishment_n and_o do_v often_o invite_v they_o to_o return_v and_o review_v their_o way_n and_o turn_v to_o repentance_n for_o their_o backslide_n that_o he_o may_v have_v mercy_n on_o they_o and_o defer_v his_o anger_n god_n be_v just_a and_o merciful_a and_o it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o do_v ever_o break_v any_o engagement_n to_o any_o person_n or_o people_n for_o as_o his_o promise_n have_v be_v to_o his_o people_n many_o time_n but_o conditional_o for_o as_o he_o engage_v to_o be_v a_o god_n and_o a_o defender_n to_o they_o if_o they_o will_v keep_v his_o law_n and_o observe_v and_o do_v his_o command_n so_o likewise_o he_o often_o engage_v that_o if_o they_o will_v not_o keep_v his_o law_n or_o perform_v their_o part_n that_o he_o will_v punish_v they_o and_o leave_v they_o to_o their_o own_o will_n and_o their_o own_o desire_n and_o let_v they_o go_v on_o in_o their_o own_o filthiness_n until_o they_o have_v fulfil_v the_o desire_n of_o their_o own_o way_n and_o then_o he_o will_v take_v the_o rod_n and_o scourge_v they_o so_o as_o i_o say_v before_o in_o this_o parricular_a god_n be_v as_o just_a in_o perform_v this_o part_n of_o his_o covenant_n as_o he_o be_v in_o perform_v the_o other_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o entailment_n of_o truth_n that_o do_v force_v he_o to_o it_o but_o in_o respect_n to_o those_o promise_n that_o be_v make_v absolute_a he_o be_v so_o exact_a in_o keep_v they_o where_o there_o be_v no_o entailment_n to_o the_o contrary_a as_o that_o he_o will_v keep_v his_o word_n though_o a_o people_n do_v offend_v he_o and_o vex_v his_o holy_a spirit_n as_o be_v instance_a by_o his_o promise_n to_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n in_o relation_n to_o his_o cause_v their_o seed_n to_o inherit_v the_o land_n of_o canaan_n and_o although_o his_o people_n do_v oftentimes_o offend_v and_o vex_v his_o holy_a spirit_n yet_o nevertheless_o he_o be_v a_o god_n of_o truth_n he_o will_v not_o be_v move_v so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v his_o promise_n null_n and_o void_a of_o effect_n 2._o as_o he_o have_v promise_v that_o he_o will_v render_v up_o the_o only_o belove_v of_o his_o delight_n his_o son_n christ_n jesus_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o wicked_a man_n even_o to_o do_v after_o the_o imagination_n of_o their_o own_o heart_n with_o he_o so_o far_o as_o concern_v life_n to_o their_o appearance_n so_o he_o do_v fulfil_v it_o to_o the_o full_a although_o they_o have_v deny_v to_o own_v he_o in_o his_o intercession_n for_o a_o condescension_n of_o love_n and_o unity_n yea_o they_o do_v not_o own_v he_o to_o be_v their_o god_n they_o will_v have_v none_o of_o he_o nor_o none_o of_o his_o instruction_n but_o do_v beat_v his_o messenger_n and_o imprison_v and_o kill_v his_o prophet_n and_o show_v he_o all_o the_o unhuman_a respect_n that_o possible_o can_v be_v and_o do_v he_o all_o the_o dishonour_n that_o lie_v in_o their_o power_n yet_o nevertheless_o god_n have_v promise_v that_o he_o will_v provide_v a_o acceptable_a sacrifice_n for_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n a_o lamb_n without_o blemish_n or_o spot_n and_o though_o the_o people_n be_v never_o so_o wicked_a and_o unhuman_a and_o breaker_n of_o all_o the_o ordinance_n law_n and_o command_n that_o he_o have_v give_v they_o to_o observe_v and_o do_v yet_o he_o can_v do_v no_o less_o than_o perform_v his_o promise_n otherways_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o god_n of_o truth_n so_o as_o it_o be_v plain_o understand_v that_o god_n have_v be_v compel_v by_o truth_n many_o time_n to_o bestow_v his_o gracious_a favour_n and_o mercy_n upon_o his_o people_n when_o they_o have_v deserve_v a_o curse_n and_o oftentimes_o though_o it_o may_v with_o true_a acknowledgement_n and_o obedience_n become_v a_o blessing_n to_o they_o that_o receive_v it_o so_o it_o prove_v to_o those_o that_o be_v
