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.

suffer_v for_o maintain_v the_o truth_n in_o any_o one_o particular_a for_o all_o be_v not_o call_v to_o suffer_v in_o one_o manner_n or_o way_n though_o flesh_n and_o blood_n may_v not_o seem_v

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

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

israelite_n dare_v not_o break_v their_o promise_n with_o gibeon_n for_o fear_n of_o dishonour_v their_o god_n and_o provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n by_o make_v he_o odious_a in_o the_o fight_n of_o the_o

to_o sacrifice_v his_o life_n for_o we_o and_o great_a charity_n thou_o can_v not_o have_v than_o to_o yield_v up_o thy_o life_n in_o obedience_n to_o the_o god_n of_o love_n and_o no_o man_n can_v

if_o thou_o do_v not_o take_v love_n along_o with_o thou_o for_o the_o devil_n will_v quick_o find_v out_o a_o place_n to_o dart_v thou_o in_o if_o thou_o leave_v charity_n behind_o thou_o for_o

now_o he_o be_v labour_v to_o deceive_v we_o of_o take_v up_o this_o wapon_n of_o faith_n so_o he_o will_v endeavour_v to_o fix_v our_o mind_n upon_o our_o own_o strength_n and_o to_o trust_v in_o
