to_o fit_v it_o to_o these_o time_n this_o jerusalem_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o our_o church_n this_o david_n a_o figure_n of_o our_o king_n the_o place_n of_o the_o ark_n on_o mount_n zion_n which_o before_o wander_v here_o and_o there_o through_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n and_o have_v no_o settle_a and_o abide_a place_n a_o figure_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n jesus_n which_o although_o it_o have_v have_v long_a abode_n in_o this_o land_n as_o the_o ark_n in_o israel_n yet_o it_o seem_v to_o many_o of_o we_o to_o have_v no_o sure_a ground_n of_o a_o continual_a abode_n till_o the_o lord_n god_n in_o love_n to_o our_o nation_n and_o favour_n to_o his_o church_n settle_v as_o the_o ark_n on_o mount_n zion_n the_o imperial_a diadem_n of_o this_o kingdom_n upon_o the_o person_n of_o

better_a to_o remember_v we_o of_o this_o and_o other_o our_o loyal_a duty_n let_v i_o speak_v unto_o you_o as_o sometime_o do_v david_n unto_o his_o people_n o_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o our_o

first_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o my_o exhortation_n second_o the_o exhortation_n itself_o first_o to_o you_o my_o brethren_n of_o the_o ministry_n as_o david_n to_o the_o priest_n second_o to_o you_o of_o the_o people_n as_o david_n to_o the_o tribe_n of_o israel_n three_o to_o our_o governor_n as_o david_n to_o they_o that_o sit_v on_o the_o seat_n of_o justice_n three_o the_o reason_n why_o all_o estate_n shall_v receive_v this_o exhortation_n because_o they_o that_o love_v jerusalem_n and_o seek_v her_o peace_n they_o shall_v prosper_v concern_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o my_o speech_n since_o this_o jerusalem_n resemble_v the_o church_n whereof_o we_o be_v member_n which_o as_o jerom_o speak_v psalm_n be_v not_o full_o build_v but_o be_v daily_o a_o build_n wherein_o not_o dead_a

many_o the_o 4.2_o adversary_n of_o judah_n and_o benjamin_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o truth_n have_v come_v to_o our_o zerubabell_n and_o chief_a father_n and_o say_v unto_o they_o we_o will_v build_v with_o you_o for_o we_o seek_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n as_o you_o do_v but_o purpose_v indeed_o 4.4_o to_o discourage_v the_o people_n and_o trouble_v this_o build_n nay_o since_o we_o can_v say_v of_o our_o church_n and_o builder_n as_o david_n there_o of_o that_o jerusalem_n 122.2_o that_o it_o be_v a_o city_n which_o be_v build_v at_o unity_n in_o itself_o but_o we_o may_v every_o where_o hear_v man_n complain_v of_o and_o tax_v our_o many_o iarring_n &_o idle_a disagreement_n let_v no_o man_n ask_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o take_v unto_o i_o these_o word_n of_o exhortation_n o_o pray_v for_o the_o peace_n of_o jerusalem_n let_v they_o prosper_v that_o love_n she_o when_o many_o in_o our_o church_n walk_v after_o the_o flesh_n not_o after_o the_o spirit_n seek_v to_o serve_v their_o own_o fancy_n and_o worldly_a respect_n and_o not_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n jesu_n in_o the_o singleness_n of_o their_o heart_n when_o many_o as_o we_o may_v see_v stumble_v at_o straw_n and_o leap_v over_o block_n strain_n at_o gnat_n and_o swallow_v camel_n tithe_v mint_n and_o commyn_v &_o leave_v the_o great_a matter_n of_o the_o law_n neglect_v nay_o when_o many_o in_o stead_n o●_n a_o good_a zeal_n for_o god_n glory_n and_o for_o his_o truth_n bring_v strange_a fire_n such_o which_o never_o burn_v on_o god_n altar_n but_o be_v fetch_v from_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n itself_o as_o though_o without_o it_o god_n truth_n can_v not_o stand_v nor_o we_o be_v know_v to_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n except_o we_o wear_v the_o cognizance_n of_o the_o devil_n when_o the_o word_n and_o deed_n

not_o i_o answer_v as_o austin_n who_o be_v demand_v why_o paul_n circumcise_a timothy_n but_o do_v not_o circumcise_v titus_n although_o thereunto_o he_o be_v require_v 27._o that_o he_o may_v show_v those_o sacrament_n neither_o as_o necessary_a ought_v to_o be_v desire_v neither_o yet_o as_o sacrilegious_a ought_v to_o be_v damn_v so_o i_o to_o they_o which_o ask_v the_o reason_n why_o some_o church_n receive_v this_o ceremony_n other_o do_v not_o sure_o that_o the_o faithful_a of_o god_n may_v know_v that_o this_o ceremony_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v require_v as_o absolute_o necessary_a nor_o yet_o to_o be_v damn_v as_o sacrilegious_a and_o naught_o yet_o thou_o insiste_v and_o alleadg_a as_o a_o reason_n of_o thy_o refusal_n that_o many_o good_a man_n will_v not_o wear_v the_o

i_o pray_v thou_o answer_v be_v they_o all_o bad_a that_o have_v conform_v themselves_o and_o use_v these_o ceremony_n thy_o christian_a charity_n will_v not_o harbour_v such_o thought_n nay_o i_o

neither_o let_v this_o seem_v strange_a unto_o thou_o that_o god_n suffer_v his_o servant_n to_o fall_v in_o judgement_n and_o although_o they_o will_v not_o to_o see_v his_o truth_n call_v to_o
