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

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

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 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
