I
Have
chosen
a
Text
(
Right
Honourable
and
Beloved
)
which
is
neither
difficult
in
it self
,
nor
(
which
is
the
lot
of
many
plain
Texts
)
made
to
seem
obscure
by
the
variety
of
glosses
and
interpretations
put
upon
it
:
There
is
a
generall
agreement
concerning
the
scope
and
meaning
of
the
Spirit
of
God
in
this
Psalm
;
some
little
difference
is
found
amongst
Interpreters
concerning
the
time
,
and
the
Pen-man
of
it
:
Some
conceiving
it
was
about
the
time
when
the
Jews
were
stopt
and
interrupted
in
the
works
of
building
the
Temple
by
their
ill
neighbours
;
but
most
doe
agree
that
the
time
was
about
the
end
of
the
seventy
years
captivity
,
when
God
had
raised
up
the
spirits
of
the
Prophets
to
encourage
the
people
to
expect
this
mercy
,
according
to
that
of
Esay
40.
Comfort
yee
,
comfort
ye
my
people
,
saith
the
Lord
,
speak
ye
comfortably
to
Hierusalem
,
and
cry
unto
her
,
that
her
warfare
is
accomplished
:
and
also
stirred
up
the
spirits
of
the
people
to
pray
to
the
Lord
,
to
accomplish
his
good
word
for
their
returne
,
according
to
that
of
Jer.
29.
Then
shall
yee
call
upon
mee
,
and
I
will
hearken
unto
you
.
And
as
for
the
Penman
of
it
,
who
ever
it
was
,
(
for
that
is
altogether
unknown
)
most
certain
it
is
,
that
hee
neither
penn'd
nor
spake
these
things
in
his
own
name
,
or
of
his
own
condition
,
but
in
the
name
of
the
whole
Church
of
God
,
like
another
Jeremy
writing
a
book
of
Lamentations
,
for
the
desolations
of
Zion
;
bemoaning
them
before
the
Lord
,
and
most
earnestly
begging
mercy
and
deliverance
.
In
the
11
first
Verses
you
may
behold
the
afflicted
Church
of
God
sitting
alone
like
a
desolate
widow
,
with
her
tears
on
her
cheeks
,
her
belly
cleaving
to
the
dust
,
her
heart
smitten
and
withered
like
grasse
,
eating
ashes
for
bread
,
mingling
her
drink
with
weeping
;
as
a
Pelican
in
the
wildernesse
,
as
an
Owl
in
the
desart
;
her
enemies
many
and
raging
against
her
,
shee
looking
round
about
,
and
all
her
Lovers
and
friends
departed
from
her
;
enquiring
after
succour
and
comfort
,
and
it
is
farre
removed
:
Behold
to
what
a
sad
condition
the
sinnes
of
Gods
own
people
doe
oft
times
bring
them
!
and
that
is
the
first
part
of
the
Psalme
.
But
in
this
dark
and
tempestuous
night
of
calamity
and
desolation
,
this
afflicted
soul
,
with
Jonah
in
the
whales
belly
with
weeds-wrapped
about
his
head
,
looks
up
to
God
,
begins
to
remember
those
everlasting
mercies
that
may
bee
found
in
the
Lord
Jehovah
;
and
presently
there
darts
in
a
beam
(
as
from
a
new
created
Statre
)
of
light
and
comfort
in
the
12
,
and
13
Verse
,
which
shines
into
the
soule
,
and
inables
this
poore
desolate
creature
to
conclude
very
comfortably
,
that
that
God
who
had
broken
her
would
yet
again
heal
her
,
that
his
wrath
should
not
alwayes
continue
,
but
he
would
return
and
revive
,
and
quicken
them
,
after
all
the
days
wherin
he
had
afflicted
them
,
and
so
suddenly
begins
to
renew
its
strength
,
and
mount
up
with
wings
of
comfort
,
as
an
Eagle
:
And
from
the
12
Verse
to
the
end
of
the
Psalme
,
after
all
this
sad
lamentation
,
there
is
a
comfortable
propheticall
story
of
all
the
good
that
God
did
mean
to
doe
fot
this
afflicted
Church
,
which
now
lay
in
the
dust
and
rubble
:
wherein
there
are
three
remarkable
things
,
The
first
is
,
A
strong
confident
propheticall
conclusion
,
that
the
deliverance
of
Gods
Church
was
nigh
at
hand
,
in
these
words
,
Thou
shalt
arise
and
have
mercy
upon
Zion
,
for
the
time
to
deliver
her
;
yea
,
the
set
time
is
come
:
that
's
her
conclusion
,
that
it
must
of
necessity
be
,
the
Lord
was
resolved
speedily
to
raise
them
out
of
their
low
condition
.
Secondly
,
you
have
the
Argument
which
satisfied
this
afflicted
desolate
soul
,
that
the
time
of
Zions
deliverance
was
at
hand
;
because
all
Gods
servants
took
pleasure
in
the
dust
of
it
,
and
pityed
the
very
stones
,
and
the
rubbish
of
it
;
their
hearts
were
deeply
humbled
for
Zions
miseries
;
they
had
set
themselves
earnestly
to
pray
to
the
Lord
;
to
give
him
no
rest
night
nor
day
till
hee
had
set
it
up
;
and
this
spirit
of
prayer
powred
out
upon
the
Church
,
was
to
her
as
sure
a
token
of
approaching
deliverance
,
as
the
day
star
is
a
token
of
an
approaching
morning
:
That
is
the
second
.
The
third
part
of
this
prophecy
is
,
the
use
or
fruit
,
which
he
doth
foretell
should
be
made
of
this
great
work
of
Gods
raising
and
building
up
of
Zion
,
which
is
very
excellent
;
partly
the
use
that
the
rest
of
the
Nations
of
the
world
should
make
of
it
,
all
the
heathen
should
stand
and
wonder
at
it
,
and
praise
Gods
name
for
it
;
yea
,
their
Kings
,
even
all
the
Kings
should
behold
the
glory
of
the
Lord
,
and
come
in
and
worship
,
and
honour
him
who
had
wrought
such
a
great
work
,
as
the
raising
Zion
out
of
the
dust
:
and
then
for
the
Church
,
the
people
that
are
created
on
purpose
to
bee
for
Gods
glory
,
it
should
bee
written
for
them
from
generation
to
generation
,
that
they
and
all
their
posterities
should
perpetually
love
and
serve
the
Lord
,
who
did
thus
remember
his
people
in
their
low
condition
.
Now
lest
some
body
might
wonder
why
the
Prophet
should
make
such
a
stupendious
businesse
of
it
,
and
demand
a
reason
why
all
the
world
must
thus
take
such
notice
of
the
building
of
Zion
:
what
is
Zion
?
and
what
is
the
work
?
as
he
said
of
Abana
and
Parphar
,
were
they
not
better
rivers
then
all
the
rivers
of
Samaria
?
Are
there
not
other
Empires
and
States
,
more
pompous
,
and
powerfull
,
and
glorious
,
and
excellent
then
Zion
?
what
is
Zion
to
Nineveh
or
Babylon
,
that
all
must
so
stand
amazed
at
the
reparation
of
it
?
To
satisfie
all
the
world
about
it
,
that
the
work
of
building
up
of
Zion
,
is
indeed
admirable
and
wonderfull
,
and
deserves
all
the
praises
that
the
hearts
and
tongues
of
men
can
utter
,
the
Prophet
in
the
2
Verses
which
I
have
read
,
doth
setdown
two
remarkable
Circumstances
which
perpetually
accompany
this
work
,
which
if
they
but
interpreted
,
and
rightly
understood
,
will
satisfie
all
the
World
,
that
this
alone
is
the
work
deserving
admiration
,
and
these
they
are
.
The
first
is
,
It
is
such
a
work
,
that
when
ever
the
Lord
goes
about
it
,
Hee
doth
appeare
in
his
glory
;
when
the
Lord
shall
build
up
Zion
,
he
shall
appear
in
his
glory
.
The
second
is
,
when
the
Lord
doth
build
up
Zion
,
He
doth
then
return
an
answer
to
all
the
prayers
of
his
afflicted
people
:
Whatsoever
they
had
been
begging
from
year
to
year
,
from
generation
to
generation
,
now
was
the
Jubilee
,
now
comes
the
return
of
all
into
their
bosomes
,
full
measure
,
thrust
together
,
shaken
,
and
running
over
:
When
the
Lord
doth
build
up
Zion
,
he
doth
then
regard
the
prayer
of
the
afflicted
,
and
however
before
hee
might
seem
to
despise
ehem
,
now
he
doth
no
longer
despise
their
cry
:
The
first
of
these
is
that
,
which
by
the
Lords
assistance
I
shall
this
day
clear
unto
you
;
this
remarkable
circumstance
which
accompanies
the
building
and
reparation
of
Zion
:
When
the
Lord
shall
build
up
Zion
hee
shall
appear
in
his
glory
;
and
in
it
observe
&
handle
these
two
lessons
.
That
the
building
of
Zion
is
the
Lords
work
,
and
the
Lords
onely
.
When
the
Lord
shall
build
up
Zion
;
the
second
and
main
(
the
which
I
shall
insist
upon
)
is
:
That
when
ever
the
Lord
goes
about
this
work
,
hee
doth
appear
in
his
glory
.
The
first
I
shall
onely
touch
,
and
that
but
to
make
way
for
the
second
.
That
the
building
of
Zion
is
the
Lords
own
work
;
There
is
nothing
difficult
,
Zion
you
know
is
in
the
Scripture
taken
sometimes
in
a
literall
,
but
ordinarily
in
a
mysticall
and
a
spirituall
sense
:
Zion
in
a
literall
sense
was
that
strong
part
of
the
City
of
Jerusalem
,
which
David
did
take
from
the
Jebusites
,
&
fortified
it
,
and
beautified
it
with
excellent
buildings
,
and
called
it
the
City
of
David
,
the
most
beautifull
part
of
Jerusalem
;
this
is
Zion
literall
:
And
this
Zion
may
besaid
to
be
built
,
when
it
is
furnished
with
stately
houses
,
with
strong
walls
,
and
replenished
with
people
,
accomplished
with
Magistrates
,
and
good
Civil
laws
:
But
this
Zion
I
have
nothing
at
the
present
to
doe
with
;
the
Zion
which
my
text
means
is
spirituall
Zion
,
mysticall
Zion
,
the
Zion
,
whereof
this
City
of
David
was
a
type
(
as
David
himself
was
a
type
of
Christ
)
and
that
is
,
the
Church
of
God
,
which
in
a
hundred
places
at
least
in
the
Old
and
New
Testament
is
called
by
the
name
of
Zion
,
he
reason
why
Zion
this
part
of
Ierusalem
,
was
such
a
celebrated
type
,
is
,
because
all
Davids
time
,
and
untill
Solomons
Temple
was
built
upon
mount
Moriah
,
the
Ark
of
God
was
placed
in
Zion
,
where
hee
is
therefore
said
to
dwell
:
this
is
the
Zion
that
we
are
to
speak
of
;
and
this
Zion
,
this
Church
of
God
is
then
built
,
when
the
doctrine
of
Jesus
Christ
is
made
known
,
the
new
and
living
way
to
life
by
him
is
opened
;
when
Ministers
and
Ordinances
are
given
,
the
elect
called
in
,
Churches
gathered
,
and
established
,
the
worship
and
government
of
Christ
set
up
,
for
the
perfecting
of
the
Saints
,
for
the
work
of
the
Ministery
,
for
the
edifying
of
the
body
of
Christ
,
till
all
the
Saints
come
in
the
unity
of
the
Faith
,
and
of
the
knowledge
of
the
Son
of
God
unto
a
perfect
man
,
unto
the
measure
of
the
stature
of
the
fulnesse
of
Christ
:
when
the
Curtains
of
the
Church
are
thus
enlarged
,
and
the
Tents
of
it
made
firm
;
when
God
doth
thus
prosper
and
blesse
the
Church
of
Christ
,
then
doth
hee
build
up
Zion
:
This
I
say
is
,
first
,
Gods
own
work
:
and
secondly
,
a
work
which
when
ever
hee
goes
about
,
hee
doth
appear
in
his

That
the
building
up
of
the
Church
is
a
work
peculiar
to
God
onely
,
I
might
easily
prove
out
of
many
Scriptures
:
aedificabo
Ecclesiam
,
I
will
build
my
Church
,
is
a
speech
to
be
uttered
by
none
,
but
by
Jehovah
himself
;
and
I
know
you
will
grant
the
truth
of
it
,
by
that
time
I
have
cleared
unto
you
these
two
things
.
First
,
that
the
building
of
Zion
is
such
a
peace
of
work
as
no
other
workmen
have
any
skill
to
do
.
And
,
secondly
,
as
they
have
no
skill
,
so
they
have
no
will
to
doe
it
;
and
if
no
other
have
either
power
nor
heart
,
neither
skill
nor
will
,
it
must
needs
bee
done
by
God
,
if
ever
it
be
done
at
all
.
First
,
I
say
,
no
other
workmen
have
any
skill
to
build
Zion
but
God
alone
;
there
is
not
one
piece
of
Timber
belongs
unto
it
,
not
one
Cord
,
not
one
pin
,
not
one
nail
,
not
any
one
thing
from
the
foundation
to
the
Cap-stone
,
but
it
is
beyond
the
understanding
,
the
value
,
skill
or
artifice
of
any
created
Nature
;
that
what
God
said
in
the
49.
Psalme
concerning
the
keeping
of
a
man
from
death
,
is
most
true
of
this
work
:
great
men
can
build
houses
,
and
purchase
Lands
,
but
there
is
not
one
of
them
can
redeem
his
brothers
soul
from
death
,
no
,
he
must
let
that
alone
for
ever
,
that
is
too
hard
a
task
for
him
,
to
keep
a
man
that
hee
should
not
goe
down
to
the
grave
:
Men
may
build
Houses
,
make
Kingdoms
,
erect
Common-wealths
,
Corporations
,
&c.
But
as
for
the
building
of
the
Church
of
God
,
all
mortall
men
must
let
that
alone
for
ever
.
In
this
work
our
help
is
onely
from
the
Lord
which
made
Heaven
and
Earth
.
I
looked
,
said
,
Christ
but
there
was
no
help
,
there
was
none
to
uphold
;
therefore
my
own
arm
brought
salvation
,
neither
could
they
,
were
all
their
perfections
joynd
into
one
,
when
man
is
dead
in
sins
and
trespasses
,
sticks
fast
in
the
miry
clay
of
ignorance
and
iniquity
,
not
able
to
think
a
good
thought
,
or
speak
a
good
word
,
a
voluntary
bondslave
of
Satan
,
under
the
power
of
Hell
,
and
the
curse
of
God
;
what
men
,
what
Angels
have
any
gifts
or
strength
,
to
help
him
out
of
this
condition
?
It
is
true
indeed
,
that
in
the
building
of
it
,
God
doth
make
use
of
mortall
men
,
and
other
creatures
,
visible
and
invisible
,
hee
calls
Ministers
,
Apostles
,
Prophets
,
Pastors
,
and
Teachers
,
to
bee
the
Guides
,
the
Leaders
,
the
Instructors
,
and
the
Shepheards
of
his
people
,
and
hee
calls
Kings
and
Princes
,
and
Nobles
,
to
be
nursing
Fathers
and
nursing
Mothers
to
it
;
he
gives
Paul
to
plant
&
Apollo
to
water
,
but
it
s
neither
for
his
need
,
nor
their
aptnesse
for
this
employment
;
no
,
no
,
when
all
is
done
,
hee
that
plants
is
nothing
,
and
hee
that
waters
is
nothing
;
Clay
and
spittle
did
as
much
to
the
opening
of
the
blind
mans
eyes
,
Peters
shadow
did
as
much
to
the
healing
of
Diseases
,
Abana
and
Parphar
,
did
as
much
to
the
curing
and
cleansing
of
the
Leper
,
as
all
instruments
whatsoever
are
able
to
doe
towards
the
building
of
the
Church
of
God
;
all
their
very
being
,
and
motions
,
and
operations
,
and
the
successe
of
their
whole
endeavours
depend
wholly
upon
the
Lord
alone
.
Secondly
,
As
all
other
builders
have
no
skill
,
so
neither
have
any
of
them
any
will
to
the
building
of
Zion
,
if
Zion
once
lie
in
the
dust
,
the
common
vote
of
them
all
is
,
This
is
an
outcast
,
this
is
Zion
whom
no
man
cares
for
,
there
it
lies
,
and
there
let
it
lie
,
Aha
,
aha
!
our
eye
hath
seen
it
,
so
would
we
have
it
:
This
stone
how
pretious
soever
is
refused
of
all
builders
:
Indeed
their
will
is
so
farre
from
building
it
,
that
it
's
ever
bent
to
the
utmost
to
ruine
it
;
the
gates
of
hell
doe
alwayes
oppose
it
,
and
all
the
Princes
and
great
men
of
the
earth
set
themselves
against
it
,
with
all
their
strength
and
cunning
;
There
is
an
everlasting
enmity
in
them
all
against
it
,
not
onely
,
because
their
principles
,
laws
and
manners
differ
one
from
the
other
,
but
also
because
Zions
rearing
is
their
spoyling
,
their
glory
and
beauty
is
blasted
and
withered
before
the
beauty
of
this
;
yea
,
this
stone
cut
out
of
the
mountain
without
hands
,
must
one
day
(
and
Satan
who
rules
in
them
all
knows
it
well
enough
)
break
in
pieces
and
consume
them
all
,
and
make
them
like
the
chaffe
of
the
Summer
threshing
floores
,
and
the
wind
shall
cary
them
away
,
that
no
place
shall
bee
found
for
them
;
they
will
therefore
doe
all
they
can
,
with
the
Samaritans
,
to
hinder
the
building
of
this
City
so
prejudiciall
to
them
;
if
ever
they
shew
themselves
forward
,
it
is
but
with
such
a
minde
as
they
had
,
when
they
offer'd
to
build
with
them
purposely
to
betray
and
hinder
them
:
So
then
because
none
else
have
any
power
,
or
will
to
doe
it
,
whenever
this
work
is
to
be
done
,
it
must
bee
the
work
of
God
alone
;
Paul
expresses
it
excellently
to
the
Hebrews
,
when
he
speaks
of
the
building
of
the
Church
,
other
houses
are
built
by
men
,
every
house
must
have
a
Carpenter
,
but
he
that
builds
the
Church
,
is
he
that
built
all
things
,
no
other
hand
can
do
it
,
but
onely
he
who
laid
the
Foundation
of
the
Heavens
and
the
Earth
,
that
is
,
Almighty
God
alone
.
For
Application
of
this
,
It
may
serve
for
singular
consolation
unto
all
those
who
wish
well
unto
Zion
,
and
may
fortifie
their
Faith
against
that
which
to
our
carnall
heart
is
the
greatest
stumbling-block
,
and
greatest
discouragement
that
ever
we
meet
with
,
and
that
is
when
outward
helps
and
means
do
fail
,
for
the
carrying
on
of
this
work
,
when
the
enemies
are
strong
and
many
,
the
Friends
few
and
weak
,
the
instruments
imployed
in
it
fail
,
some
by
death
,
some
possibly
prove
treacherous
,
turning
against
it
,
seeking
to
betray
it
,
then
presently
are
wee
ready
to
conclude
,
all
will
come
to
nothing
,
the
work
will
faile
,
it
will
never
be
carried
on
:
but
(
Beloved
)
remember
this
one
Rule
,
in
all
other
things
that
are
done
in
the
world
,
you
may
lawfully
make
such
kinde
of
Prognostications
,
as
to
foretell
by
the
Instruments
that
are
imployed
,
and
by
the
Preparations
which
are
made
,
what
the
fruit
and
the
event
of
the
worke
is
like
to
be
.
If
you
see
a
poore
man
gather
together
a
few
Willow-sticks
,
and
set
a
bungerly
Carpenter
out
of
them
to
reare
up
a
house
,
you
may
conclude
it
must
be
nothing
but
a
poore
shed
or
cottage
:
If
you
see
poore
men
enterprize
a
warfare
without
counsell
,
without
any
money
,
against
a
wise
Prince
that
is
too
mighty
for
them
,
you
may
conclude
,
that
they
must
either
be
overthrowne
,
or
make
shamefull
conditions
of
peace
;
and
you
judge
aright
when
you
judge
so
,
because
in
all
these
things
God
seldome
puts
out
his
power
,
otherwise
then
according
to
the
virtue
and
power
which
he
hath
given
to
second
causes
,
and
according
to
them
he
works
,
(
though
somtime
to
shew
his
soveraignty
he
disappoints
them
,
and
causeth
the
race
not
to
be
alwayes
to
the
swift
,
nor
the
battell
to
the
strong
:
)
Sow
a
bad
piece
of
ground
,
God
doth
not
use
to
give
a
strong
crop
there
;
but
it
's
quite
otherwise
in
the
building
of
the
Church
,
whatsoever
the
tooles
or
instruments
are
,
it
skills
not
one
whit
:
Great
instruments
doe
not
further
it
,
weak
instruments
cannot
retard
it
:
If
he
will
fight
,
it
's
indifferent
whether
his
weapon
be
a
sword
,
or
the
jaw-bone
of
an
Asse
:
If
he
meane
to
take
a
City
,
it
's
all
one
whether
the
battering
engines
be
great
Guns
,
or
Trumpets
made
of
Rams-horns
;
any
thing
will
serve
the
turne
in
the
hand
of
this
Work-man
;
if
he
intend
to
thrash
mountaines
small
,
and
beat
the
hills
to
dusty
chaffe
,
a
worme
will
serve
to
doe
it
,
as
well
as
a
great
sharp
threshing
instrument
having
teeth
:
And
therefore
because
God
hath
begun
this
work
of
Reformation
,
and
manifested
that
he
intends
to
bring
out
a
new
Edition
of
his
Church
,
and
to
set
it
out
in
a
fairer
Letter
then
ever
it
hath
yet
been
seen
among
us
,
and
declared
by
wonderfull
signes
and
tokens
,
that
his
heart
is
set
upon
this
work
,
resolve
you
upon
it
,
that
this
work
must
proceed
:
and
when
you
heare
any
of
our
enemies
despise
it
,
because
it
is
a
day
of
small
things
,
remember
it
's
God
who
works
all
for
us
,
and
answer
their
scoffes
as
he
did
them
,
who
wondred
that
Saul
the
son
of
Kish
should
be
found
among
the
Prophets
;
it
seemes
they
had
knowne
him
to
have
been
a
young
Roister
,
and
when
they
saw
him
prophesie
,
they
cryed
out
,
it
may
be
not
without
a
scoffe
,
What
is
befallen
to
the
Son
of
Kish
?
Is
Saul
amongst
the
Prophets
?
But
saith
one
,
Who
is
the
Father
of
the
Prophets
?
remember
but
who
undertakes
to
be
the
Master
and
Father
of
the
Prophets
,
and
you
need
not
wonder
who
is
the
Scholar
;
so
you
may
all
conclude
of
this
work
,
never
be
afraid
of
the
carrying
on
this
worke
,
feare
not
the
instruments
how
weake
soever
;
resolve
,
whatsoever
God
meanes
to
doe
,
he
will
never
want
tooles
or
instruments
,
who
with
the
speaking
of
a
word
can
lay
the
foundations
of
a
new
heaven
and
earth
;
who
needs
no
more
,
then
to
say
to
Zion
,
Be
thou
inhabited
;
to
Hierusalem
,
Thou
shalt
be
built
;
and
to
the
Temple
,
Thy
foundation
shall
be
laid
,
and
it
's
done
;
who
with
one
word
speaking
can
create
his
Church
a
rejoicing
,
and
her
people
a
joy
.
But
all
this
will
be
more
cleare
in
the
second
Doctrine
,
to
which
I
now
proceed
,
and
to
which
this
is
onely
a
Porch
or
Preface
:
That
when
the
Lord
doth
build
up
Zion
,
he
doth
appeare
in
glory
.
They
are
the
words
of
the
Text
,
and
therefore
need
no
other
proofe
:
In
handling
whereof
I
shall
endevour
these
two
things
;
First
,
to
make
a
full
and
cleare
demonstration
of
the
truth
of
it
,
that
God
doth
appeare
in
his
glory
when
he
comes
to
build
his
Church
.
Secondly
,
I
shall
make
application
of
it
.
And
for
the
clearing
the
truth
of
it
there
are
foure
things
to
be
opened
.
First
,
what
it
is
to
appeare
in
glory
.
Secondly
,
To
prove
the
truth
of
it
out
of
the
Scripture
.
Thirdly
,
and
which
is
that
that
I
most
aime
at
,
How
God
doth
appeare
in
his
glory
when
he
comes
to
build
up
Zion
.
And
fourthly
,
why
he
is
pleased
thus
to
appeare
in
his
glory
,
when
he
undertakes
this
work
.
For
the
first
.
First
,
what
it
is
to
appeare
in
Glory
.
Glory
and
Excellency
doe
thus
differ
one
from
another
:
Excellency
is
the
intrinsecall
worth
or
value
of
any
thing
;
Glory
is
the
manifestation
of
this
Excellency
:
Glory
is
nothing
but
the
irradiation
or
shining
out
of
Excellency
.
Take
a
true
Diamond
stone
when
it
is
first
found
,
and
lookes
but
like
a
common
stone
,
there
is
even
then
all
the
excellency
of
a
Diamond
in
it
;
but
when
it
is
filed
,
and
the
curious
Artist
hath
done
his
part
to
set
it
off
in
its
lustre
,
then
appeares
the
glory
of
the
Diamond
:
or
amongst
men
,
it
may
be
a
man
hath
admirable
abilities
of
wisedome
,
learning
,
power
,
strength
,
activity
,
or
whatsoever
else
might
argue
him
to
be
eminent
,
so
long
as
all
these
are
hidden
,
this
man
is
really
an
excellent
man
,
but
when
by
some
worke
worthy
of
all
these
inward
excellencies
the
world
comes
to
know
him
to
be
such
a
one
as
indeed
he
is
,
then
doth
the
man
appeare
in
his
glory
:
So
that
to
appeare
in
glory
,
is
nothing
but
to
appeare
to
be
as
excellent
as
indeed
one
is
.
Therefore
for
God
to
appeare
in
glory
,
is
his
manifesting
himselfe
to
be
such
a
God
as
he
is
,
when
all
those
eminent
,
excellent
attributes
and
perfections
which
are
in
him
,
come
to
irradiate
,
shine
forth
,
that
others
must
necessarily
acknowledge
God
to
be
that
which
he
is
;
when
he
appears
like
himself
,
then
doth
God
appeare
in
his
glory
.
Now
secondly
,
it
's
cleare
in
the
Scripture
that
God
doth
so
,
that
he
doth
manifest
himselfe
to
be
such
a
God
as
he
is
,
when
he
undertakes
the
work
of
building
his
Church
;
many
glorious
things
are
spoken
of
this
City
of
God
,
and
of
God
in
his
building
of
this
City
,
it
's
ordinarily
called
his
glory
,
his
throne
of
glory
,
his
glorious
work
,
his
glorious
rest
:
Consider
seriously
these
few
Texts
.
The
whole
93
Psalme
;
it
's
a
short
Psalme
,
yet
a
large
proofe
and
full
interpretation
of
my
Text
:
Interpretors
doe
generally
agree
,
that
it
is
a
Prophesie
of
Christs
kingdome
,
his
ruling
and
building
up
the
Church
;
and
marke
how
the
expressions
run
,
The
Lord
reignes
,
he
is
cloathed
with
Majesty
,
the
Lord
is
cloathed
with
strength
,
he
hath
girded
himselfe
,
his
throne
is
established
,
the
Lord
is
mightier
then
the
mighty
waves
of
the
sea
:
all
these
glorious
expressions
set
forth
the
Lords
manifestation
of
himself
in
his
edifying
and
building
his
Church
,
as
may
appeare
in
the
last
verse
,
Holinesse
becommeth
thine
house
O
Lord
for
ever
:
this
holy
house
of
God
,
is
that
Throne
which
is
thus
established
,
upon
which
he
sits
in
this
glory
and
majesty
,
where
he
girds
himselfe
,
as
being
ever
in
a
readinesse
to
goe
on
with
his
worke
;
and
this
is
such
glory
or
manifestation
of
his
excellency
,
that
it
causeth
not
onely
his
Church
and
People
to
acknowledge
it
,
but
you
shall
finde
verse
3
,
that
the
flouds
,
the
flouds
lift
up
their
voice
,
the
flouds
lift
up
their
waves
:
What
is
that
?
Sometimes
flouds
and
waves
signifie
the
tumultuous
people
,
that
make
a
noise
of
sedition
,
mutiny
,
trouble
,
and
violence
;
but
here
,
the
flouds
which
signifie
People
and
Nations
,
lift
up
their
voice
of
wonderment
and
acknowledgment
of
that
which
was
set
downe
before
,
viz.
that
God
was
cloathed
with
Majesty
and
glory
,
when
hee
comes
to
establish
his
Throne
,
and
adorne
his
house
with
holinesse
;
there
is
one
evidence
.
Another
you
shall
see
in
the
68.
Psalme
;
The
whole
Psalme
is
a
most
stately
straine
of
divine
Rhetorique
,
the
beginning
of
it
is
very
high
and
lofty
:
Let
God
arise
,
let
him
shew
himselfe
,
let
his
enemies
be
scattered
,
them
that
hate
him
,
fly
before
him
;
as
smoake
is
driven
away
,
as
wax
melteth
before
the
fire
,
so
must
wicked
men
perish
at
this
presence
of
God
:
and
every where
throughout
the
Psalme
,
you
may
observe
such
a
glorious
presence
of
God
,
as
made
the
earth
shake
,
the
heavens
drop
,
the
hills
leap
,
the
mountains
moved
,
the
Saints
rejoyce
and
sing
,
Armies
to
bee
routed
,
Kings
and
Princes
to
flee
:
all
this
is
nothing
but
a
description
of
Gods
manner
of
appearing
,
when
he
builds
up
Zion
,
when
hee
redeems
his
Church
out
of
bondage
,
and
subdues
people
unto
him
by
the
Scepter
of
Christ
,
the
Preaching
of
the
word
,
which
is
the
rod
of
his
power
,
as
is
most
manifest
by
one
place
in
the
midst
of
the
Psalme
,
which
is
as
a
key
to
open
all
.
Thou
hast
ascended
up
on
high
,
thou
hast
led
captivity
captive
,
thou
hast
received
gifts
for
men
,
even
for
the
rebellious
also
,
that
the
Lord
God
might
dwell
among
them
.
This
is
meant
of
Christs
ascending
to
the
right
hand
of
God
,
to
take
possession
of
the
rule
and
government
of
the
Church
;
when
he
thus
ascended
up
on
high
,
hee
led
captivity
captive
,
led
all
the
enemies
of
the
Church
,
as
captives
at
his
Chariot
wheeles
,
and
gave
gifts
to
men
,
such
gifts
as
should
build
his
Church
;
which
Paul
interprets
in
the
fourth
of
the
Ephesians
,
to
be
the
offices
and
gifts
which
the
Lord
Christ
gave
,
when
he
ascended
up
to
heaven
,
for
the
gathering
,
and
building
up
of
the
Church
;
hee
then
gave
some
Apostles
,
and
some
Evangelists
,
some
Prophets
,
some
Pastors
and
Teachers
,
for
the
perfecting
of
the
Saints
,
for
the
work
of
the
Ministery
,
for
the
edifying
of
the
body
of
Christ
.
Another
notable
passage
is
in
the
63
of
Isaiah
,
Marke
how
rhetorically
and
elegantly
the
Spirit
of
God
sets
it
down
;
The
Prophet
stands
amazed
at
the
sight
of
one
that
drew
nigh
unto
him
;
Who
is
this
(
saith
hee
)
that
comes
from
Edom
,
with
dyed
Garments
from
Bozrah
?
that
is
thus
glorious
in
his
apparell
:
travelling
in
the
greatnesse
of
his
strength
?
who
is
this
?
what
is
hee
that
appeares
in
thus
much
glory
?
the
answer
is
made
,
in
the
name
and
person
of
Christ
,
It
is
I
the
Lord
,
mighty
to
save
.
And
what
was
the
work
that
hee
did
there
?
what
was
the
glory
?
why
truely
,
Jesus
Christ
then
came
to
rescue
his
Church
from
thraldome
,
from
Egypt
,
Babylon
,
from
Idumea
and
other
evill
Neighbours
,
in
the
type
,
and
literall
sense
,
but
especially
from
Satan
,
death
,
and
Hell
,
in
the
spirituall
sense
,
to
pardon
them
,
call
them
in
,
and
build
them
upon
himselfe
,
the
rock
against
which
the
gates
of
hell
should
never
prevaile
;
This
was
the
work
which
occasioned
him
thus
to
put
on
his
glorious
apparell
.
Many
other
Scriptures
speak
the
same
;
Exodus
15.
1.
When
God
did
deliver
his
Church
out
of
Egypt
,
hee
triumphed
gloriously
.
But
I
forbeare
,
because
the
third
branch
will
cleare
it
all
more
fully
,
and
that
is
,
Thirdly
,
to
discover
How
,
and
wherein
the
Lord
doth
appeare
in
glory
,
when
hee
builds
up
his
Church
:
and
for
this
I
shall
lay
down
this
one
conclusion
,
and
indevour
to
make
it
good
to
you
in
the
following
Discourse
;
That
although
all
the
workes
of
God
are
great
and
glorious
,
and
worthy
to
bee
sought
into
by
all
his
people
,
there
is
not
the
least
atome
,
the
least
Ant
,
but
proves
this
,
quaelibet
herba
,
every
little
herbe
,
but
shews
it
to
bee
Gods
workmanship
,
Psalm
.
19.
12.
The
heavens
declare
his
glory
,
and
the
firmament
shewes
his
handy
work
.
Yet
this
work
of
gathering
and
building
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
is
a
work
,
which
is
carryed
in
a
quite
differing
straine
,
and
way
,
from
all
other
workes
,
which
ever
the
Lord
puts
his
own
hand
to
.
Look
upon
all
his
other
workes
,
and
you
shall
seldome
finde
that
the
work
goes
beyond
what
the
matter
and
the
instruments
may
promise
,
and
within
the
compasse
and
fadome
of
second
causes
,
may
you
finde
the
summe
of
all
that
doth
appeare
in
any
other
work
of
Gods
hands
;
so
that
although
every
thing
that
is
done
,
may
truely
bee
said
to
bee
the
Lords
,
and
to
bee
wrought
(
if
I
may
speak
with
reverence
)
in
his
shop
;
yet
because
God
carries
them
on
by
a
concatenation
and
subordination
of
second
causes
,
every
one
working
according
to
their
nature
,
(
though
secretly
carryed
by
his
own
hand
)
these
workes
of
God
may
truely
bee
said
,
to
bee
wrought
by
Gods
servants
,
by
his
apprentises
and
inferiour
servants
;
but
the
whole
carriage
of
the
businesse
of
the
Church
of
God
is
reserved
for
Gods
owne
hand
,
as
his
Master
peece
;
carryed
in
such
a
way
as
none
may
lay
any
claime
to
have
any
thing
to
do
in
it
,
unlesse
he
can
challenge
to
have
the
perfections
of
Jehovah
in
him
;
and
this
I
am
certaine
you
'l
acknowledge
,
if
you
please
to
lend
me
your
reverent
attention
,
while
I
cleare
these
foure
things
unto
you
:
First
,
the
Materials
out
of
which
the
Lord
uses
to
build
his
Church
.
Secondly
,
the
Instruments
by
which
hee
uses
to
build
it
.
Thirdly
,
the
Time
when
hee
doth
it
.
And
Fourthly
,
and
chiefly
,
the
Manner
how
hee
doth
it
.
For
the
first
.
1.
For
the
Materialls
,
out
of
which
this
stately
peece
is
to
bee
erected
;
you
know
that
in
all
other
buildings
,
if
the
work
bee
to
bee
a
glorious
work
,
the
materials
are
the
excellentest
that
can
be
found
;
and
Mercury
must
not
be
made
of
common
wood
:
When
Solomon
meanes
to
build
a
Temple
,
it
must
be
with
Cedar
Trees
over-layed
with
Gold
:
If
Noah
be
to
build
an
Arke
,
it
shall
be
of
Gophir
wood
,
firme
and
strong
substantiall
Timber
:
No
man
would
imagine
that
a
stately
fabrick
should
be
erected
out
of
rotten
Willowes
,
and
broken
stickes
,
and
refuse
chips
&c.
But
now
the
materials
out
of
which
God
builds
the
Church
,
are
the
very
refuse
,
out
of
as
arrant
refuse
stuff
as
is
in
all
the
world
,
is
this
goodly
building
erected
:
Satans
kingdome
,
the
damned
in
Hell
,
that
cursed
state
of
darknesse
,
is
not
built
out
of
worser
stuffe
then
the
Kingdome
of
Christ
is
,
take
the
materials
as
they
are
when
he
first
findes
them
.
When
God
tooke
the
Nation
of
the
Jewes
to
be
his
people
,
some
people
say
,
they
were
the
ill-favouredst
people
in
all
the
world
,
a
loathsome
people
to
looke
upon
;
but
it
is
certaine
,
they
were
as
crosse
and
perverse
in
their
spirits
as
any
living
;
the
Lord
told
them
often
,
that
they
were
the
unworthiest
of
all
Nations
when
he
chose
them
,
bids
them
never
thinke
that
they
were
chose
out
to
be
his
before
the
rest
of
the
world
,
for
any
thing
that
was
in
them
,
for
he
protested
there
was
nothing
to
allure
him
:
And
for
the
Church
which
Christ
now
ownes
and
builds
,
the
same
things
are
manifest
.
In
the
11
of
Isaiah
,
you
have
a
Prophesie
of
Christs
Church
,
what
they
are
by
nature
,
till
his
grace
change
them
;
Lions
,
and
Tigers
,
and
Bears
,
and
Wolves
,
and
Cockatrices
,
and
Aspes
,
and
such
kinde
of
Vermine
,
are
the
creatures
out
of
which
Christ
Jesus
chooses
and
makes
up
his
Flock
of
Sheep
:
Read
Pauls
Epistles
,
and
you
will
finde
that
all
the
Saints
(
the
excellentest
of
the
earth
,
whom
Christ
thought
not
himselfe
and
all
his
glory
too
good
for
)
were
Mancipia
Satanae
,
Bond-flaves
,
and
Hell-hounds
,
going
on
in
their
wicked
wayes
:
A
description
you
have
in
the
16
of
Ezekiel
that
fits
every
one
of
them
,
where
the
Lord
tells
the
Church
,
what
kinde
of
people
they
were
when
he
fell
in
love
with
them
;
their
Navell
not
cut
,
cast
out
in
the
day
of
their
birth
,
lying
in
their
mothers
bloud
,
no
eye
to
pitty
her
,
nor
no
hand
to
doe
her
any
friendly
office
;
and
when
he
past
by
her
in
that
pickle
,
then
did
he
fall
in
love
with
her
,
and
spread
the
skirt
of
his
garment
over
her
:
And
if
you
take
another
place
of
Scripture
,
to
see
what
kinde
of
Spouse
he
had
;
Aholah
and
Aholibah
,
two
Whores
,
were
the
Spouses
that
he
did
chuse
;
plainly
shewing
to
us
,
that
this
glorious
work
,
that
which
all
eternity
shall
give
honour
to
him
for
,
that
the
materials
out
of
which
it
is
built
,
are
as
bad
as
any
are
who
goe
to
Hell
and
destruction
.
And
this
is
one
great
part
of
a
demonstration
,
to
let
you
see
,
that
when
God
doth
such
a
work
as
this
is
,
he
doth
appeare
in
his
glory
:
It
must
needs
be
an
excellent
Work-man
,
who
can
raise
so
glorious
a
peece
out
of
such
base
stuffe
.
Secondly
,
and
by
what
Instruments
doe
you
thinke
the
Lord
doth
build
it
?
and
what
are
their
Tooles
?
who
are
his
Work-men
?
you
'll
wonder
by
that
time
I
have
told
you
a
little
about
them
.
God
hath
sometimes
strong
Cities
of
his
enemies
to
overthrow
,
from
which
he
meanes
to
rescue
his
people
,
and
then
the
Armies
which
he
brings
to
doe
it
,
are
Rams
hornes
,
Wormes
,
and
Lice
,
and
Mice
,
and
Frogs
,
and
Locusts
,
and
Caterpillars
,
&c.
by
such
as
these
doth
the
Lord
sometimes
overthrow
whole
Kingdomes
;
when
he
pleaseth
to
breake
all
their
Iron
barres
asunder
,
to
fetch
his
poore
captived
people
from
amongst
them
;
and
when
in
a
spirituall
way
he
sends
his
Instruments
to
subdue
people
unto
him
,
he
goes
not
to
the
Schooles
,
to
finde
out
the
learned
and
excellent
parted
men
,
but
a
few
Fisher-men
(
poore
despicable
men
,
brought
up
in
no
Arts
or
Learning
)
shall
be
the
Champions
,
who
shall
goe
and
subdue
the
great
,
and
the
wise
men
of
the
world
,
unto
the
Throne
of
Christ
:
and
ordinarily
,
the
men
whom
he
doth
chuse
to
work
the
greatest
matters
by
,
are
men
of
a
meane
presence
,
of
weake
parts
,
and
contemptible
gifts
,
(
though
God
will
have
some
that
are
eminent
,
to
let
you
see
,
that
his
grace
can
make
use
of
any
,
but
yet
)
the
greatest
services
that
have
beene
done
in
the
Church
of
Christ
,
have
been
most-what
done
by
instruments
from
whom
mans
wisdome
would
promise
very
little
:
so
that
in
them
is
usually
fulfilled
that
of
the
Prophet
,
A
woman
doth
compasse
a
man
,
the
weake
prevaile
over
the
strong
,
and
the
simple
over
the
wise
:
and
that
of
the
Apostle
Paul
,
God
hath
chosen
the
foolish
things
of
the
world
to
confound
the
wise
,
weake
things
●o
confound
the
things
which
are
mighty
,
and
things
which
are
not
to
bring
to
nought
things
that
are
:
And
that
also
of
the
8
Psalme
,
Out
of
the
mouths
of
babes
and
sucklings
hast
thou
ordained
strength
,
to
quell
the
enemy
and
the
avenger
.
And
truely
their
Tooles
wherewith
they
work
are
no
more
promising
then
the
Work-men
;
The
great
Engine
whereby
Satan
must
be
fetched
from
his
strong
hold
,
and
made
to
fall
like
lightning
downe
from
heaven
,
whereby
captived
souls
shall
be
delivered
from
his
power
and
snares
,
whereby
the
dead
in
sinne
shall
be
raised
,
the
prison
doores
opened
,
the
blind
made
to
see
,
the
deafe
to
heare
,
the
food
whereby
the
Saints
shall
be
nourished
,
the
Rod
whereby
they
shall
be
guided
and
ordered
;
what
are
all
these
?
even
the
Foolishnesse
of
preaching
shall
doe
all
this
,
and
washing
with
water
,
in
name
of
the
Father
,
Sonne
,
and
holy
Ghost
;
Eating
of
Bread
and
drinking
Wine
in
a
Sacrament
;
Praying
to
God
:
such
kind
of
Tooles
as
these
are
,
are
the
instruments
wherewith
these
unlikely
Work-men
are
furnished
;
far
more
ludibrious
things
in
reference
to
this
work
,
then
a
Shepheards
boy
with
his
sling
and
his
bag
were
to
the
Philistian
Giant
.
Thirdly
,
take
likewise
the
Time
,
for
that
is
as
remarkable
as
any
of
the
rest
:
The
time
when
the
Lord
useth
to
build
his
Church
,
heare
in
this
102
Psalme
,
it
was
when
the
Church
professed
her
bones
were
burnt
up
like
a
hearth
,
her
belly
cleaved
to
the
dust
,
she
was
like
an
Owle
,
like
a
Pelican
,
like
a
Swallow
,
fed
on
ashes
;
and
my
Text
in
the
next
words
saith
,
God
would
regard
the
prayer
of
this
poore
destitute
Church
:
The
Hebrew
word
here
translated
destitute
,
signifies
either
the
shrub
of
a
broken
Tree
,
or
the
Heath
that
growes
in
the
barren
Wildernesse
;
such
were
Gods
people
at
this
time
:
Now
here
is
the
time
which
God
chuses
,
when
the
enemies
of
the
Church
have
them
in
the
greatest
bondage
,
when
his
Church
and
people
are
in
most
utter
incapacity
of
doing
any
thing
towards
their
deliverance
,
or
expecting
any
thing
to
be
done
for
them
;
that
time
he
ordinarily
chuses
for
the
rescuing
of
his
people
.
When
hee
fetched
them
first
out
of
Egypt
,
when
they
were
worne
out
there
with
making
brickes
,
and
the
tale
of
their
brickes
was
do●bled
,
then
did
God
send
a
Shepheard
to
fetch
them
out
:
When
in
the
70
yeares
captivity
they
complained
that
their
bones
lay
scattered
,
as
one
should
hew
chips
on
the
face
of
the
earth
;
and
in
another
place
compared
to
dry
bones
;
that
was
the
time
he
chose
to
raise
them
up
a
glorious
Army
,
and
to
bring
them
out
for
himselfe
:
And
so
it
is
observed
by
Historians
,
that
when
the
Lord
came
to
deliver
his
Church
from
the
terrible
persecutions
under
Nero
and
the
rest
of
the
persecuting
Romane
Emperours
;
and
now
lately
from
Antichrist
,
when
Cardinall
Cajetan
said
,
that
the
Germans
were
so
devoted
to
the
Pope
,
that
they
were
ready
to
eat
grasse
and
hay
,
more
pecudum
,
like
brute
beasts
,
at
the
Popes
command
,
for
the
redemption
of
their
soules
;
and
all
the
rest
of
the
Christian
world
stood
in
the
same
condition
,
the
Kings
having
given
their
Crownes
to
the
Whore
,
and
laid
their
heads
in
her
lap
,
and
their
glory
at
her
feet
,
and
all
the
people
Vassals
and
Slaves
wondering
after
that
inchanted
Beast
;
then
by
a
few
Monks
and
Shavelings
did
the
Lord
break
the
power
of
this
great
enemy
in
pieces
,
and
began
the
rearing
up
of
that
great
work
,
which
he
is
carrying
on
at
this
day
:
And
such
like
times
doth
he
chuse
in
planting
grace
,
and
building
of
his
kingdome
in
the
conversion
of
particular
men
,
plucking
them
out
of
Satans
clawes
,
when
they
are
most
desperately
wicked
:
when
Manasseh
wallowes
in
bloud
of
Innocents
;
when
Mary
Magdalene
is
prostituting
her selfe
;
when
Paul
is
mad
against
the
Church
;
when
Matthew
sits
at
the
receipt
of
Custome
,
every
one
of
them
wallowing
in
their
bloud
,
carried
headlongly
to
destruction
,
fulfilling
the
lusts
of
the
flesh
with
greedinesse
,
loving
their
bondage
,
not
suspecting
or
understanding
their
danger
,
not
so
much
as
desiring
a
better
condition
:
this
is
the
time
the
Lord
chuses
.
Now
to
doe
it
by
such
instruments
,
out
of
such
stuffe
,
at
such
a
time
,
this
addes
much
to
his
glory
.
I
remember
it
is
spoke
of
one
of
Davids
Worthies
,
in
the
2
of
Samuel
23.
it
was
Benajah
the
sonne
of
Jehojada
,
that
among
all
his
valiant
acts
this
was
one
,
that
he
slew
a
Lion
;
but
that
which
magnifies
it
is
,
the
Time
when
he
slew
it
,
it
was
a
Lion
that
was
got
into
a
pit
,
in
the
time
of
a
great
snow
:
a
Lion
in
a
pit
is
most
desperate
,
most
rampant
,
because
there
is
no
flying
away
,
especially
in
a
snow
,
the
cold
of
the
weather
making
all
the
heat
of
the
beast
gather
about
his
heart
,
and
so
encreases
his
courage
and
strength
;
and
in
the
time
of
a
snow
,
when
a
man
hath
hardly
any
footing
to
stand
where
he
must
fight
;
this
magnified
,
the
time
when
Benajah
slew
the
Lion
:
So
for
the
Lord
to
doe
it
by
such
instruments
,
and
out
of
such
stuffe
,
and
at
such
a
time
,
if
I
had
no
other
thing
to
say
,
I
know
you
would
by
this
acknowledge
that
the
Lord
appeares
in
his
glory
.
But
the
fourth
is
the
maine
proofe
of
all
,
and
that
is
The
manner
how
the
Lord
doth
it
,
which
my
Text
most
aimes
at
;
it
is
in
such
a
manner
as
shews
him
abundantly
to
be
that
which
he
is
:
those
excellent
and
eminent
perfections
of
All-sufficiency
,
which
are
in
God
,
do
marvellously
irradiate
and
shine
out
,
when
God
builds
the
Church
.
Among
many
others
,
which
may
be
observed
,
permit
me
to
speak
a
little
of
these
5
excellent
Attributes
,
which
do
in
their
eminency
shine
out
,
when
he
undertakes
the
building
of
the
Church
:
First
,
his
unsearchable
wisdome
.
Secondly
,
his
almighty
power
.
Thirdly
,
his
excellent
holinesse
.
Fourthly
,
his
his
infinite
grace
and
bounty
.
And
fifthly
,
his
admirable
justice
.
These
five
Attributes
doth
the
Lord
ordinarily
magnifie
in
the
highest
degree
,
when
he
is
pleased
to
arise
to
build
up
Zion
.
First
,
I
say
,
his
unsearchable
Wisdome
:
The
Prophet
speaks
aright
of
all
Gods
works
,
O
Lord
how
manifola
are
thy
works
!
in
wisdome
hast
thou
made
them
all
;
the
whole
world
is
full
of
Gods
wisdome
,
but
never
doth
the
wisdome
of
God
so
shine
out
,
as
in
the
admirable
contrivances
that
he
hath
for
the
building
up
,
for
the
repairing
and
restoring
of
his
Church
.
It
is
said
,
that
the
spirit
of
wisdome
doth
rest
upon
Christ
,
when
he
is
given
to
be
the
Ruler
of
his
Church
,
carrying
it
in
a
way
beyond
all
humane
comprehension
his
way
being
in
the
sea
,
his
path
in
the
great
waters
,
and
his
footsteps
not
knowne
,
when
yet
he
leads
his
people
as
a
flock
:
Conceive
a
little
of
it
by
this
.
The
Lord
doth
so
contrive
it
,
that
all
the
crosse
and
excentricall
motions
of
all
creatures
doe
all
concurre
to
further
this
work
,
though
they
work
according
to
their
severall
principles
,
and
for
their
owne
severall
ends
,
most
of
them
intending
mischiefe
and
ruine
to
the
Church
,
yet
he
orders
them
all
to
be
as
directly
subservient
,
to
carry
on
the
work
of
building
the
Church
,
as
if
they
all
studied
it
,
and
intended
it
with
their
whole
might
:
The
plots
of
the
enemies
,
their
strength
,
their
cunning
,
their
cruelty
,
persecutions
,
and
the
weaknesses
,
faults
,
corruptions
,
and
even
divisions
of
his
servants
,
all
contribute
toward
the
building
up
of
the
Church
,
though
they
seem
all
contrary
to
it
:
God
seemes
to
me
to
lay
a
taxe
not
onely
upon
Heaven
,
but
upon
Hell
it selfe
,
and
all
the
powers
of
darknesse
,
and
all
their
servants
,
that
every
one
of
them
should
bring
in
their
utmost
power
to
carry
on
this
work
.
You
have
an
excellent
instance
in
the
60
chapter
of
Esay
,
where
God
orders
it
,
that
the
Islands
and
Kingdomes
,
the
Princes
and
Nobles
,
the
Beasts
and
Birds
,
the
Forests
and
Rivers
,
the
Gold
,
Silver
,
Brasse
,
and
Iron
,
all
kind
of
creatures
and
things
,
shall
contribute
their
uttermost
to
raise
up
and
beautifie
this
building
;
yea
,
though
they
intend
it
not
,
though
they
intend
the
contrary
,
to
ruine
and
spoile
it
,
as
is
clearly
expressed
.
Many
Nations
gathered
together
against
Zion
,
that
say
,
let
her
be
defiled
,
and
let
our
eye
looke
upon
Zion
,
when
in
the
meane
time
the
wisdome
of
God
hath
contrived
it
,
that
they
come
but
to
be
threshed
out
,
and
to
be
made
a
crop
for
Zion
to
feed
upon
.
Never
doth
the
Lord
so
magnifie
his
wisdome
,
as
in
his
excellent
contrivances
about
the
Churches
welfare
,
suiting
all
providences
and
occurrences
of
things
,
and
endevours
of
all
people
,
though
they
have
a
thousand
severall
ends
,
yet
every
one
to
contribute
their
best
,
as
if
one
soule
dwelt
in
them
all
:
which
made
Paul
,
when
he
considered
of
this
point
,
to
be
even
swallowed
up
with
admiration
,
O
the
depth
of
the
riches
,
both
of
the
wisdome
and
knowledge
of
God!
how
unsearchable
are
his
judgments
,
and
his
wayes
past
finding
out
!
who
hath
knowne
the
minde
of
the
Lord
,
or
who
hath
beene
his
Counsellour
?
Another
is
,
his
almighty
power
,
which
is
so
eminently
seen
in
this
work
,
that
it
is
Gods
ordinary
expression
,
to
call
it
the
creating
of
a
new
heaven
and
a
new
earth
;
Behold
,
I
create
a
new
heaven
and
a
new
earth
;
he
creates
it
:
And
in
the
59
of
Isaiah
,
where
God
speaks
of
the
Church
,
I
create
the
fruit
of
the
lips
,
peace
,
peace
:
the
fruit
of
the
lips
,
is
the
preaching
of
the
Word
,
but
it
is
done
in
a
way
of
creation
;
he
creates
Ministers
,
creates
Ordinances
,
creates
meanes
and
helps
,
creates
deliverances
,
creates
graces
,
comforts
,
all
done
in
an
almighty
way
of
creation
.
Now
creation
,
you
know
,
first
,
fit
irresistibiliter
,
there
is
no
power
able
to
stand
against
a
Creation
:
So
it
is
here
,
when
God
pleases
to
build
the
Church
,
the
Mountaines
flow
downe
;
thus
you
have
it
Esay
64.

,

,

Oh
that
thou
wouldest
rent
the
heavens
,
that
thou
wouldest
come
downe
,
that
the
mountaines
might
flew
downe
at
thy
presence
,
as
when
the
melting
fire
burneth
,
to
cause
the
waters
to
boile
,
when
thou
didst
terrible
things
,
which
we
looked
not
for
.
And
the
like
hath
the
Prophet
Zachary
,
What
art
thou
,
O
great
mountain
?
before
my
servant
Zerubbabel
,
thou
shalt
become
a
plaine
:
that
is
,
all
oppositions
,
all
Kingdomes
,
all
Empires
,
all
the
gates
of
Hell
,
and
whosoever
stand
against
it
,
they
are
all
broke
in
peeces
,
when
once
God
is
pleased
to
undertake
the
building
of
the
Church
;
I
le
build
my
Church
,
and
the
gates
of
Hell
shall
not
prevaile
against
it
:
What
are
these
gates
of
hell
?
Christ
speaks
according
to
the
manner
of
those
Countries
,
the
gates
of
a
City
were
the
place
where
there
was
both
the
wisdome
and
the
strength
of
a
City
:
In
their
gates
sate
their
noble
and
wise
Consellours
;
there
were
their
Courts
kept
,
in
their
gates
lay
their
Ammunition
,
out
of
their
gates
went
all
their
Commanders
:
All
the
wisdome
and
power
of
Hell
,
that
is
,
of
Satans
kingdome
,
must
all
be
broken
,
if
God
please
to
build
his
Church
:
he
speakes
the
word
and
it
is
done
,
done
irresistibly
.
Secondly
,
Creation
sit
ex
nihilo
,
it
rises
out
of
nothing
;
though
there
be
no
preparative
,
though
you
cannot
imagine
what
shall
be
the
materia
ex
qua
,
the
thing
out
of
which
the
work
should
arise
,
yet
if
Creation
comes
,
it
doth
it
out
of
nothing
:
Thus
the
Lord
brings
in
the
Church
at
one
time
,
wondering
at
her
owne
encrease
,
when
she
had
sate
long
as
a
desolate
widow
,
a
captive
without
children
,
forsaken
of
her
husband
,
and
an
innumerable
multitude
of
children
suddenly
saying
in
her
eares
,
The
place
is
too
narrow
for
us
,
where
shall
we
have
room
to
dwell
?
Who
hath
hegotten
me
these
?
who
hath
brought
up
these
?
these
,
where
have
they
been
?
Unthought
of
means
and
mercies
usually
appear
in
this
work
,
to
magnifie
the
power
of
God
.
Thirdly
,
Creatio
fit
in
instanti
;
as
it
is
done
out
of
nothing
,
so
it
is
done
in
a
trice
,
in
the
twinckling
of
an
eye
:
Who
hath
heard
such
a
thing
as
this
?
who
hath
seen
such
things
?
(
saith
the
Prophet
in
the
66
of
Isaiah
:
)
What
is
that
?
of
a
Nation
that
was
borne
in
a
day
:
Shall
the
earth
be
made
to
bring
forth
in
a
day
?
must
there
not
be
a
space
between
seed-time
and
harvest
?
or
shall
a
child
be
begotten
and
born
in
a
day
?
yet
Zion
doth
so
,
brings
forth
before
she
travailes
,
delivered
of
a
man-child
in
an
instant
,
yea
of
a
Nation
,
and
that
before
her
paine
came
:
and
elsewhere
the
sudden
encrease
of
the
Church
is
compared
to
whole
flights
of
Doves
,
and
to
the
clouds
flying
swiftly
and
in
abundance
through
the
aire
;
Who
are
these
that
flye
like
the
clouds
,
and
as
Doves
to
their
windowes
?
But
most
fully
this
is
promised
in
the
110
Psalme
,
where
the
Churches
encrease
is
compared
to
the
dew
which
in
innumerable
drops
comes
suddenly
out
of
the
womb
of
the
morning
:
there
's
another
glorious
Attribute
of
God
shining
out
,
his
almighty
power
.
Then
thirdly
,
His
Holinesse
:
Never
doth
the
Lord
appeare
so
holy
a
God
,
as
he
doth
in
this
work
of
building
the
Church
.
Holinesse
is
not
onely
a
glorious
Attribute
,
but
in
truth
it
is
glory
it selfe
,
it
is
the
very
face
of
God
;
and
therefore
holy
men
are
said
to
beare
the
image
of
God
,
because
they
are
like
his
very
face
,
when
,
Holy
,
Holy
,
Holy
,
is
the
Lord
of
Hosts
,
may
be
sung
unto
him
,
the
whole
earth
is
full
of
his
glory
,
with
that
work
which
causeth
his
holinesse
to
appeare
,
then
like
the
Sun
he
shewes
his
glorious
face
,
when
he
appears
in
his
holinesse
.
Now
this
excellent
Attribute
is
celebrated
to
the
height
in
the
Churches
building
:
This
is
cleare
in
that
solemne
and
glorious
representation
of
Christ
,
ruling
in
,
and
beautifying
of
his
Church
Revel.
4.
the
foure
Beasts
representing
the
Catholike
Church
in
the
foure
quarters
of
the
world
,
when
night
and
day
they
give
glory
to
Christ
,
the
head
and
King
,
the
Builder
and
Ruler
of
his
Church
;
their
Song
is
onely
this
,
Holy
,
Holy
,
Holy
,
Lord
God
Almighty
:
and
that
triumphant
Song
of
the
Church
,
recorded
Revel.
15.
for
the
victory
obtained
over
the
Beast
,
wherein
they
celebrate
his
greatnesse
,
truth
,
and
justice
,
the
Church
sets
this
as
the
rise
of
all
,
For
thou
onely
art
holy
:
and
in
truth
,
the
usuall
name
he
takes
to
himselfe
,
and
by
which
his
people
call
him
in
reference
to
this
work
,
is
,
The
Holy
One
of
Israel
;
and
it
is
fit
it
should
be
so
,
for
then
he
shewes
how
little
he
can
endure
iniquity
,
then
he
purges
away
the
sin
of
his
people
,
then
he
makes
them
a
peculiar
people
,
zealous
of
good
workes
,
then
he
separates
their
drosse
and
their
rubbish
from
them
,
then
he
makes
them
like
unto
himselfe
:
never
doth
God
beautifie
his
holinesse
so
,
as
he
doth
when
he
builds
the
Church
.
That
is
the
third
.
Fourthly
,
and
that
which
is
one
of
the
sweetest
,
the
Lord
never
magnifies
nor
glorifies
his
free
grace
and
his
love
so
as
he
doth
in
this
work
of
building
the
Church
;
all
the
treasures
of
love
and
favour
,
which
before
lay
hid
in
his
breast
,
do
gloriously
shine
out
;
then
he
marries
her
,
or
keeps
his
Wedding-feast
,
and
makes
all
the
world
to
know
how
deare
she
is
unto
him
;
there
and
then
,
and
no where
else
,
doth
he
bestow
his
choice
favours
.
When
he
gives
Kingdomes
and
Empires
,
he
gives
nothing
but
a
peece
of
clay
,
what
he
cares
not
for
;
but
when
he
builds
the
Church
,
there
he
layes
out
his
Treasure
.
The
time
would
faile
me
to
number
the
gifts
which
he
then
gives
:
Great
Princes
ordinarily
have
their
Almoners
with
them
wheresoever
they
goe
,
and
they
give
this
or
that
peece
of
silver
or
gold
to
ordinary
Petitioners
;
but
when
they
will
appeare
in
their
glory
,
and
give
such
gifts
as
shall
magnifie
them
,
then
it
may
be
they
create
Earles
,
and
Lords
,
and
great
Officers
of
State
,
which
are
peculiar
and
discriminating
pledges
of
their
love
:
So
doth
God
,
when
he
builds
up
other
Nations
with
outward
mercies
,
with
fruitfull
seasons
,
health
,
wealth
,
and
pompe
,
&c.
he
esteemes
them
as
nothing
,
he
cares
not
a
shoo-latchet
for
these
common
gifts
,
they
are
his
common
almes
;
but
when
he
builds
his
Church
,
then
he
gives
his
Ordinances
,
then
he
gives
his
Ministers
,
then
he
gives
them
the
Graces
of
his
Spirit
,
these
are
his
Chrysolites
,
his
Emeralds
,
his
Pearles
,
and
Diamonds
,
then
he
makes
all
the
world
stand
amazed
,
(
as
my
Text
saith
)
and
all
the
Kings
to
wonder
,
at
the
love
and
beauty
which
he
shewes
to
his
people
in
the
day
he
builds
up
Zion
:
then
they
who
despised
her
shall
wonder
at
her
,
Who
is
this
that
comes
out
of
the
wildernesse
leaning
upon
her
beloved
?
and
bow
downe
at
her
feet
and
confesse
,
that
she
is
now
to
be
called
Heph-zibab
and
Beulah
,
because
her
God
delighteth
in
her
.
And
lastly
,
The
Lord
useth
more
then
at
any
other
time
,
to
glorifie
that
excellent
Attribute
of
his
Justice
,
because
then
he
takes
vengeance
upon
his
Churches
enemies
:
You
shall
finde
in
the
Scripture
,
that
these
two
things
ever
goe
together
,
the
Lambes
marrying
,
and
the
Whores
burning
;
Zions
building
,
and
Babels
ruine
;
his
Servants
exalting
,
his
enemies
falling
;
his
People
raised
up
,
his
adversaries
spoiled
;
then
doth
the
Lord
call
them
to
account
,
and
pay
them
,
eye
for
eye
,
tooth
for
tooth
,
breach
for
breach
:
the
day
of
Zions
deliverance
,
and
redemption
,
and
fury
and
recompence
to
her
adversaries
,
ever
goe
together
:
Behold
(
saith
the
Lord
)
in
that
day
I
will
undoe
all
that
afflict
thee
,
and
will
save
and
gather
thee
:
in
one
and
the
same
day
the
spoiled
Church
shall
be
rescued
,
and
they
who
oppressed
her
shall
be
fed
with
their
own
flesh
,
and
made
drunk
with
their
own
bloud
:
The
Church
militant
and
malignant
are
as
a
pair
of
ballances
,
or
Buckets
at
a
Well
,
when
the
one
goeth
up
the
other
still
goeth
down
.
And
by
this
time
I
hope
you
see
how
the
Lord
appeares
in
his
glory
when
he
builds
up
Zion
;
I
have
but
the
fourth
question
to
answer
,
and
this
will
be
fit
for
Application
;
and
that
is
,
Why
the
Lord
appeares
thus
glorious
in
this
work
,
rather
then
in
any
other
?
There
are
these
two
reasons
of
it
:
First
,
because
it
is
a
worke
that
infinitely
pleaseth
him
:
Men
chuse
to
appeare
in
their
cloaths
and
behaviour
suitable
to
the
work
that
they
are
to
be
employed
in
:
the
woman
of
Tekoah
must
feigne
her selfe
to
be
a
mourner
,
when
she
goes
on
a
mournfull
message
;
and
David
,
when
he
goes
on
a
dolefull
journey
,
covers
his
face
,
and
puts
on
mourning
apparell
;
but
when
Solomon
is
to
be
crowned
,
he
goes
in
all
his
royalty
;
and
a
Bride
adorns
her self
gloriously
when
she
is
to
be
married
:
Verily
so
doth
the
Lord
:
when
he
goes
about
a
worke
he
takes
no
pleasure
in
,
he
puts
on
his
mourning
apparell
,
he
covers
himself
with
a
cloud
,
and
the
heavens
with
blacknesse
;
when
he
is
to
doe
his
strange
work
of
judgment
,
then
he
mournes
,
How
shall
I
give
thee
up
Ephraim
?
how
shall
I
make
thee
as
Sodom
?
my
bowels
rowled
within
me
,
my
compassions
are
turned
:
but
the
building
of
Zion
doth
infinitely
please
him
,
because
Zion
is
as
the
apple
of
his
eye
to
him
;
he
bought
Zion
at
a
dear
rate
,
with
his
owne
bloud
;
he
layes
Zion
in
his
bosome
,
he
is
ravished
with
Zion
,
Zion
is
his
Love
,
his
Dove
,
his
faire
one
;
he
hath
chosen
Zion
,
and
loves
the
gates
of
it
,
better
then
all
the
Palaces
of
Jacob
;
and
being
so
pleasing
to
him
,
no
marvell
if
he
put
on
all
his
glorious
apparell
,
when
he
is
to
adorn
and
build
up
Zion
.
And
se●ondly
,
it
is
Because
all
the
glory
that
he
looks
for
to
eternity
,
must
arise
out
of
this
one
work
of
building
Zion
;
this
one
work
shall
be
the
onely
monument
of
his
glory
to
eternity
:
this
goodly
world
,
this
heaven
and
earth
,
that
you
see
and
enjoy
the
use
of
,
is
set
up
onely
as
a
shop
,
as
a
Work-shop
to
stand
onely
for
a
week
,
for
six
or
7000
years
,
(
a
thousand
yeeres
is
with
the
Lord
but
as
a
day
)
and
when
his
worke
is
done
he
will
throw
this
peece
of
clay
downe
againe
;
and
out
of
this
he
looks
for
no
other
glory
then
from
a
Cabul
,
a
land
of
dirt
,
or
a
shepheards
cottage
,
or
a
goard
which
springs
up
in
a
night
and
withers
in
a
day
:
but
this
peece
he
sets
up
for
a
higher
end
,
to
be
the
eternall
mansion
of
his
holinesse
and
honour
;
this
is
his
Metropolis
,
his
Temple
,
his
house
where
his
fire
and
furnace
is
,
his
Court
,
his
glorious
high
Throne
,
and
therefore
his
glory
is
much
concerned
in
this
work
:
when
Nebuchadnezzar
would
have
a
City
for
the
honour
of
his
kingdome
,
and
the
glory
of
his
Majesty
,
he
will
make
it
a
stately
peece
;
Solomon
made
all
his
Kingdome
very
rich
and
glorious
,
but
he
made
his
Court
,
and
especially
his
Throne
,
another
manner
of
thing
,
so
stately
,
that
the
like
was
not
to
be
seen
in
any
other
kingdome
:
and
therefore
no
wonder
though
he
appeare
in
his
glory
in
building
up
of
that
,
which
we
may
boldly
say
must
one
day
be
made
as
glorious
as
his
wisdome
can
contrive
,
and
his
power
bring
to
passe
.
Having
thus
plainly
opened
and
proved
this
excellent
Doctrine
,
give
me
leave
in
the
Application
to
present
you
with
some
matter
,
first
,
of
Joy
and
consolation
;
secondly
,
of
Reproof
and
Terrour
;
thirdly
,
of
Exhortation
and
Duty
.
Here
is
a
further
excellent
encouragement
and
strengthening
of
our
comfort
,
in
that
which
I
touched
before
,
viz.
an
assurance
that
this
work
must
goe
on
;
doe
all
the
world
what
they
can
,
they
can
never
hinder
the
building
up
of
Gods
Church
,
because
God
hath
so
set
his
heart
upon
it
,
that
for
the
doing
thereof
he
hath
cloathed
himselfe
with
his
glory
,
and
girded
himselfe
with
strength
;
and
will
he
be
hindred
in
it
,
though
all
the
Nations
of
the
world
should
rise
up
against
him
to
hinder
it
?
It
is
true
,
the
gates
of
Hell
doe
alwayes
appeare
with
all
their
wisdome
and
strength
against
it
,
but
what
of
that
?
it
is
his
glory
to
build
it
,
and
can
we
imagine
that
any
shall
be
able
to
spoil
him
of
his
glory
,
that
any
can
pull
downe
what
he
will
build
,
or
root
up
his
pleasant
plant
;
when
he
hath
called
it
his
house
of
glory
,
which
he
will
glorifie
,
that
poore
wormes
shall
be
able
to
defile
or
deface
it
?
No
,
no
,
this
work
must
be
carried
on
,
feare
it
not
.
He
hath
evidently
begun
it
among
our selves
,
and
we
are
often
discouraged
in
it
;
there
is
yet
much
to
be
done
,
much
rubbish
still
remaines
to
be
carried
out
,
and
we
are
very
low
,
our
estates
wasted
,
the
builders
discouraged
,
their
hands
weakned
:
but
not
by
might
,
or
an
Army
,
but
by
my
Spirit
(
saith
the
Lord
)
must
this
work
proceed
,
and
then
what
art
thou
,
O
great
mountain
,
thou
great
mountain
of
Popery
,
Prelacy
,
superstition
,
oppression
,
division
,
heresie
,
schism
?
what
art
thou
before
my
servants
the
builders
?
thou
shalt
flow
down
,
thou
shalt
be
made
a
plaine
:
Be
strong
therefore
,
ye
Nobles
and
servants
of
God
,
whose
hearts
are
set
upon
this
work
,
you
shall
notwithstanding
all
opposition
see
the
cap-stone
set
upon
the
head
of
it
,
and
cry
Grace
,
Grace
,
unto
it
.
The
Lord
useth
an
excellent
similitude
in
Esay
31.
4.
when
he
came
downe
to
rescue
his
people
,
and
they
were
discouraged
(
just
as
we
are
now
)
with
a
multitude
of
oppositions
,
he
compares
himselfe
to
a
Lion
,
or
a
young
Lion
,
that
hath
caught
his
prey
,
when
the
multitude
of
shepheards
are
called
out
against
him
,
he
scornes
to
mend
his
pace
,
or
be
afraid
of
their
voice
;
So
will
the
Lord
of
Hosts
doe
in
building
of
Zion
,
let
all
the
world
rise
up
against
this
work
,
and
he
scornes
to
draw
back
from
them
,
or
be
afraid
of
the
shepheards
or
their
dogges
,
he
can
worry
them
and
all
their
dogs
to
peeces
:
And
therefore
I
beseech
you
,
who
are
engaged
in
this
great
worke
of
God
,
when
any
discouragements
fall
out
before
you
,
remember
the
errand
that
God
bids
Hezekiah
send
to
Senacharib
,
who
came
with
some
two
or
300000
fighting
men
,
and
sent
him
a
very
proud
,
scornfull
,
and
threatning
message
;
tell
him
(
said
God
)
the
daughter
of
Zion
sits
and
laughes
at
him
,
shakes
her
head
,
and
scornes
him
,
bids
him
doe
his
worst
,
and
well
she
might
,
for
these
proud
mountaines
soone
flowed
downe
,
for
in
in
one
night
one
of
God
servants
killed
180000
,
e●en
all
his
Captaines
and
great
men
were
all
killed
;
so
say
thou
,
when
great
difficulties
rise
up
,
and
thou
beginnest
to
think
,
Lord
,
by
whom
shall
Jacob
arise
?
for
he
is
small
,
our
money
failes
us
,
our
Trade
is
gone
,
yea
,
in
many
places
Ordinances
faile
us
,
mens
hearts
are
discouraged
;
what
shall
we
doe
?
say
,
the
Lord
hath
put
on
his
glorious
apparell
,
and
he
must
and
will
carry
on
this
work
,
he
will
never
undergoe
that
reproach
,
This
man
began
to
build
,
and
was
not
able
to
make
an
end
.
But
why
doth
he
then
so
delay
it
?
alas
,
it
is
worse
with
us
then
it
was
two
or
three
yeares
agoe
,
the
summer
is
past
▪
the
harvest
is
come
,
and
yet
we
are
not
delivered
;
much
bloud
is
shed
,
the
enemy
is
yet
strong
and
potent
,
our
hearts
faile
,
our
instruments
decay
,
and
yet
the
worke
hangs
;
if
God
did
appeare
in
his
glory
,
why
would
it
come
on
thus
heavily
?
I
answere
,
the
Lord
is
a
God
of
judgment
,
he
is
a
wise
God
,
he
knowes
the
fittest
time
:
That
he
doth
delay
is
neither
because
he
is
weary
of
the
work
,
or
because
he
is
not
able
to
doe
it
,
or
because
the
enemy
is
strong
;
No
,
no
,
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
never
fainted
,
neither
is
he
weary
,
but
it
is
onely
because
his
best
time
is
not
yet
come
;
he
will
(
it
may
be
)
more
fit
the
enemies
for
destruction
,
and
us
for
deliverance
;
it
may
be
he
will
hunt
us
yet
more
from
all
our self-confidence
,
and
lay
us
low
;
but
in
the
fittest
and
best
time
of
all
,
this
work
must
proceed
,
no
weapon
can
prosper
that
is
forged
against
it
,
the
Lord
will
carry
it
on
and
finish
it
:
whether
we
live
to
see
it
,
it
's
no
matter
,
if
we
dye
and
goe
to
heaven
we
are
well
enough
,
let
us
serve
God
in
our
generation
,
in
this
work
which
himselfe
will
owne
in
all
generations
.
Is
it
the
Lords
glory
to
build
up
Zion
,
then
miserable
,
and
wretched
,
and
cursed
are
all
they
that
are
the
enemies
of
Zion
,
who
would
pull
Zion
downe
;
who
with
the
children
of
Edom
,
who
cry
,
Downe
with
it
,
downe
with
it
,
even
to
the
very
foundation
;
who
with
Sanballat
and
Tobiah
,
doe
strive
all
they
can
to
keep
it
low
,
to
hinder
the
Work-men
that
they
may
not
carry
it
on
;
what
doe
you
think
will
become
of
these
?
I
le
tell
you
how
you
shall
guesse
;
you
shall
finde
in
the
sixth
of
Ezra
,
when
a
great
Emperour
of
Persia
came
to
understand
a
decree
of
Cyrus
,
wherein
it
appeared
he
was
stirred
up
of
God
to
build
his
house
at
Hierusalem
,
he
wrote
a
Letter
to
Tatnai
and
Shethar-boznai
,
and
many
others
who
were
enemies
to
the
Jewes
,
and
had
writ
to
the
Emperour
to
know
,
whether
they
should
hinder
these
men
from
the
work
,
the
Emperour
writes
back
to
this
purpose
;
You
Tatnai
and
Shethar-boznai
keep
far
from
them
,
meddle
not
with
them
,
I
make
a
decree
,
that
whosoever
he
be
that
offers
to
hinder
this
work
,
his
house
be
pulled
downe
,
and
timber
be
taken
downe
and
set
up
for
a
gallowes
,
and
himself
hanged
thereon
;
and
the
Goa
that
hath
caused
his
name
to
dwell
there
,
root
out
from
the
face
of
the
earth
all
Kings
and
Princes
that
offer
to
alter
this
work
,
or
destroy
this
house
.
Here
was
a
brave
speech
of
a
Heathen
,
of
a
Pagan
Emperour
:
the
like
must
be
said
to
these
men
,
whoever
offers
to
hinder
the
building
of
Gods
house
,
the
reformation
of
the
Church
,
the
decree
of
the
great
King
will
reach
them
,
it
is
ratified
in
heaven
,
the
God
that
hath
caused
his
name
to
dwell
in
the
Church
,
will
cut
off
all
Kings
and
Princes
,
Lords
and
Ladies
,
rich
and
poore
,
and
whosoever
dare
offer
to
hinder
the
building
of
it
.
But
who
is
he
,
or
where
is
he
,
that
in
his
heart
dare
think
such
a
thing
?
I
tell
you
,
their
number
is
numberlesse
;
God
grant
there
be
none
such
present
:
I
le
name
some
of
them
,
not
onely
the
Antichristian
,
Prelaticall
,
Malignant
party
,
who
are
in
armes
against
us
,
and
endevour
with
all
their
power
and
cunning
to
destroy
us
,
and
so
cause
this
work
to
cease
,
but
even
all
who
secretly
affect
and
assist
them
,
or
stand
as
Neuters
,
and
hang
off
,
when
this
work
of
God
is
in
hand
,
and
like
the
Nobles
of
Tekoah
refuse
to
put
their
shoulders
to
the
work
,
are
all
enemies
to
it
,
and
doe
dash
against
this
rock
:
and
all
whose
wicked
lives
are
contrary
to
it
,
all
whose
ill
examples
discourage
,
and
lye
like
stumbling-blocks
in
the
way
,
who
refuse
to
be
hewen
,
and
framed
,
and
laid
like
living
stones
into
the
building
of
God
,
who
are
unwilling
to
beare
Christs
yoke
;
who
by
counsels
,
by
power
,
or
otherwise
,
hinder
the
spreading
of
the
Gospel
,
(
which
is
the
rod
of
his
power
,
and
the
great
engine
whereby
he
reares
the
Church
,
and
subdues
his
enemies
)
or
that
have
ill
will
to
the
preaching
of
it
;
all
that
spread
corrupt
Doctrines
,
licentious
opinions
,
who
seek
to
rend
and
divide
the
people
of
God
,
all
you
and
your
works
are
enemies
to
it
,
whatsoever
you
think
of
your selves
,
and
whosoever
you
are
,
whether
great
or
small
,
you
all
kick
against
pricks
;
and
beleeve
it
,
you
must
all
come
under
the
curse
of
it
:
you
are
all
wretched
and
miserable
creatures
,
to
oppose
that
work
which
must
prosper
,
and
to
stumble
at
that
stone
,
which
will
fall
upon
you
,
and
grind
you
to
powder
:
you
must
all
perish
who
have
ill
will
at
Zion
;
not
onely
your
weapons
must
be
unprosperous
,
which
are
forged
against
it
,
but
this
is
the
plague
wherewith
the
Lord
will
smite
you
,
your
flesh
must
consume
away
,
your
eyes
rot
in
their
holes
,
your
tongues
consume
away
in
your
mouths
,
and
to
conclude
your
misery
,
you
must
all
be
slaine
before
his
face
,
and
cast
into
a
Lake
burning
with
fire
and
brimstone
:
Repent
therefore
of
this
not
onely
your
folly
,
but
madnesse
,
which
now
is
your
shame
,
and
is
like
to
prove
your
confusion
.
Doth
the
Lord
appeare
in
his
glory
when
he
builds
up
Zion
?
then
I
beseech
you
all
give
God
the
glory
of
his
worke
:
you
can
never
grieve
a
man
more
,
then
to
neglect
him
in
that
which
he
makes
his
glory
;
to
sleight
or
throw
aside
a
Work-mans
master-peece
,
as
if
it
were
a
toy
,
is
taken
very
heinously
among
men
;
now
I
tell
you
,
that
although
every
work
of
God
is
excellent
,
and
his
praise
may
be
found
in
it
,
the
works
of
the
Lord
are
all
great
,
and
worthy
to
be
had
in
remembrance
,
yet
this
work
of
building
the
Church
is
his
Master-peece
,
every
pin
,
every
stone
,
from
the
foundation
to
the
cap-stone
,
is
so
enameld
,
and
checkerd
,
with
Rubies
,
Saphires
,
Emeralds
,
Chrysolites
,
Carbuncles
,
with
all
manner
of
precious
stones
,
such
admirable
,
curious
workman-ship
,
that
Ahabs
Ivory
Palace
,
and
Solomons
Cedar
house
,
the
Pyramids
of
Egypt
,
all
humane
Artifices
,
yea
all
the
rarities
and
secrets
of
nature
,
have
no
glory
,
when
compared
with
the
glory
of
this
one
work
,
of
Christs
gathering
,
building
,
protecting
,
and
beautifying
of
Zion
;
this
you
would
soon
acknowledge
,
if
you
could
look
upon
it
with
spirituall
discerning
eyes
:
get
therefore
your
Bibles
,
and
the
Stories
of
the
Church
,
and
read
them
,
and
in
reading
labour
to
the
utmost
to
understand
this
peece
of
Gods
work
;
consider
,
how
ever
since
he
hath
had
a
Church
upon
earth
,
what
a
strange
way
he
hath
took
to
governe
it
,
from
what
small
beginnings
he
hath
multiplied
it
,
from
what
dead
low
ebbes
he
hath
brought
it
,
by
what
unlikely
instruments
he
hath
built
it
,
what
potent
enemies
he
hath
subdued
before
it
,
with
what
rare
priviledges
he
hath
enriched
it
,
by
what
unthought
of
wayes
and
providences
he
hath
done
good
it
;
ponder
these
things
,
and
you
can
hardly
read
one
Paragraph
of
the
Story
of
Gods
Church
,
but
you
must
with
admiration
cry
out
,
This
is
the
Lords
doing
,
and
it
is
wonderfull
in
my
eyes
;
O
that
there
were
in
us
such
a
heart
,
that
could
be
thus
raised
up
,
thus
inlightned
,
as
to
see
nothing
excellent
,
but
onely
Gods
going
in
the
Sanctuary
!
they
have
seen
the
goings
of
my
God
and
King
in
the
Sanctuary
:
such
an
heart
would
be
according
to
Gods
own
heart
,
a
spirit
which
the
Lord
would
delight
in
:
more
especially
study
and
behold
the
glory
of
this
last
peece
of
his
work
,
this
new
edition
of
the
Church
which
he
is
now
about
to
set
forth
,
wherein
I
hope
he
will
vouchsafe
to
make
his
Churches
,
even
amongst
us
,
a
praise
in
the
earth
.
O
read
over
the
admirable
dealings
of
God
towards
us
,
in
these
foure
or
five
last
yeares
,
I
am
assured
it
will
be
the
wonderment
of
succeeding
generations
,
God
will
have
it
written
by
one
hand
or
other
,
and
when
these
things
shall
be
told
they
will
be
wondred
at
indeed
:
when
it
shall
be
written
what
a
low
ebbe
we
were
at
,
how
we
were
tantum
non
swallowed
with
Popery
,
Prelacy
,
Superstition
,
Arminianisme
,
Tyranny
,
Oppression
all
things
concurring
to
undoe
us
,
and
then
the
Lord
broke
those
Iron
yokes
,
and
hath
called
this
Parliament
,
which
after
he
hath
sitted
,
and
tried
,
and
humbled
,
he
hath
put
upon
the
repairing
of
his
Church
,
and
building
the
walls
of
his
City
,
in
a
troublesome
time
,
when
they
build
with
the
Trowell
in
one
hand
,
and
the
Sword
in
another
,
when
huge
potent
Enemies
are
risen
up
to
destroy
them
,
and
yet
he
carries
on
this
work
,
exercising
and
manifesting
such
rare
wisdome
in
the
midst
of
our
folly
,
such
admirable
power
in
the
midst
of
our
weaknesse
,
such
holinesse
in
the
midst
of
our
corruptions
,
such
love
in
the
midst
of
our
unworthinesse
,
such
justice
to
our
enemies
in
the
midst
of
their
pride
,
carries
it
on
after
such
a
manner
,
that
they
who
read
these
things
must
stand
amazed
,
and
cry
out
,
O
how
wonderfull
are
thy
doings
O
Lord
toward
thy
poore
unworthy
flock
in
the
kingdome
of
England
!
Now
could
we
get
our
hearts
raised
thus
to
give
God
the
glory
due
to
his
name
,
it
would
please
him
better
then
a
bullock
that
hath
hornes
and
hoofes
;
never
could
we
live
to
better
purpose
,
it
were
an
excellent
work
to
have
these
wayes
and
goings
of
our
God
and
King
written
for
the
generations
to
come
,
that
the
people
who
shall
be
created
may
praise
the
Lord
:
I
have
often
begged
of
him
,
to
put
it
into
the
heart
of
some
wise
observer
of
his
dealings
,
to
collect
and
digest
them
,
and
I
hope
it
will
be
done
;
in
the
meane
time
let
us
that
live
forget
none
of
his
doings
,
but
keep
them
all
in
thankfull
mind
and
memory
,
and
praise
the
Lord
on
the
Harp
,
and
sing
praise
to
him
every
day
,
for
the
wonders
that
he
hath
wrought
,
since
he
arose
to
build
up
our
Zion
.
This
is
the
first
Exhortation
,
to
praise
God
for
his
glorious
worke
:
another
followes
,
with
which
I
will
end
,
and
that
is
To
you
(
right
Honourable
)
for
whose
sakes
this
meeting
is
in
this
place
;
that
seeing
it
is
the
Lords
glory
to
build
up
the
Church
,
you
would
make
it
your
glory
,
that
you
would
be
like
unto
God
,
that
you
would
esteem
your selves
never
so
truely
in
your
glory
,
as
when
you
come
out
with
all
that
you
have
,
or
are
,
to
help
forward
this
work
:
I
humbly
pray
you
look
upon
our
desolations
,
look
upon
the
enemies
of
the
Church
,
how
infinitely
industrious
they
are
to
ruine
it
,
how
few
of
them
drive
any
private
designe
,
but
joyne
in
this
common
work
and
designe
,
to
ruine
the
work
of
Reformation
;
how
they
lay
out
all
their
wit
,
power
,
and
interest
,
which
they
have
in
Court
,
in
Countrey
,
in
City
,
by
Letters
,
by
Travels
,
by
Bloud
,
by
any
thing
,
that
they
might
(
with
Sanballat
and
Tobiah
)
cause
this
work
of
God
to
cease
;
you
know
this
.
Consider
also
how
poore
desolate
Zion
doth
even
stretch
out
her
hands
unto
you
,
and
pray
you
,
that
in
this
sad
time
of
her
calamity
,
if
there
be
any
love
in
your
hearts
and
bosomes
toward
her
,
you
would
come
out
,
and
give
her
some
help
,
to
reare
her
out
of
the
dust
and
the
rubble
:
I
beseech
your
Lordships
set
this
work
to
heart
,
and
up
and
be
doing
,
do
your
best
to
carry
this
work
on
.
To
this
end
there
are
two
things
I
shall
humbly
offer
unto
you
:
First
,
to
tell
you
what
you
may
doe
,
and
what
God
expects
you
should
doe
:
Secondly
,
to
give
you
some
quickening
Motives
to
warme
and
enflame
your
hearts
,
with
a
purpose
and
resolution
to
doe
what
God
would
have
you
doe
.
First
,
you
may
possibly
demand
,
what
may
or
can
we
doe
,
or
what
can
any
creature
doe
,
seeing
you
were
taught
that
the
building
of
Zion
is
Gods
work
alone
?
I
answer
,
it
is
very
true
,
the
work
is
Gods
,
and
Gods
alone
,
and
you
may
truely
say
of
Zion
,
when
ever
it
is
built
,
it
is
not
by
might
,
nor
by
an
Army
,
but
by
Christ
and
his
Spirit
;
yet
were
not
great
men
,
Princes
,
and
Nobles
,
to
be
very
great
instruments
in
this
work
,
God
would
never
have
promised
it
,
as
one
of
the
great
priviledges
of
the
Church
,
that
Kings
and
Princes
should
be
her
nursing
Fathers
,
and
that
she
should
suck
the
breasts
of
Kings
:
And
truly
it
is
much
you
may
doe
by
your
examples
,
and
by
causing
your
great
families
to
serve
the
Lord
;
I
and
my
Family
(
said
Joshua
)
will
serve
the
Lord
:
and
all
the
great
men
we
read
of
in
the
Scripture
to
have
been
converted
,
presently
their
families
were
converted
with
them
:
The
Ruler
of
the
Synagogue
and
his
family
,
the
Centurion
and
his
family
,
Onesiphorus
and
his
family
,
Crispus
and
his
family
,
Lydia
and
her
family
,
and
many
others
:
Thus
in
a
spirituall
and
morall
way
you
may
help
to
build
the
Church
;
but
that
's
not
all
,
your
authority
and
power
may
doe
very
much
in
this
work
:
It
is
very
true
,
that
your
power
(
who
are
Nobles
,
Magistrates
,
&
Rulers
of
States
)
in
the
Common-wealth
,
in
the
building
of
a
Civill
State
,
and
the
building
of
the
Church
,
doe
extremely
differ
one
from
another
:
In
building
the
Civill
State
,
you
doe
it
ad
modum
imperii
,
by
way
of
rule
and
command
;
therein
you
have
authority
;
Meum
and
Tuum
,
the
things
of
this
life
,
are
by
the
Lord
committed
into
the
hands
of
a
State
,
and
the
light
of
Nature
and
humane
Prudence
are
sufficient
to
direct
you
in
them
,
and
in
these
things
you
have
power
and
authority
,
according
to
your
owne
reason
and
will
,
to
make
Lawes
about
them
;
you
may
erect
new
Lawes
,
and
new
Offices
,
and
new
Officers
,
and
you
may
impose
new
burdens
,
and
people
may
lawfully
submit
to
your
discretion
,
without
seeking
any
further
for
a
particular
warrant
out
of
the
Word
,
in
the
things
that
concerne
this
present
life
:
but
(
my
Lords
)
it
is
not
so
in
the
building
of
Zion
,
matters
of
Religion
are
spirituall
and
heavenly
things
,
which
pertaine
onely
to
God
,
the
soules
and
consciences
of
men
,
and
the
communion
of
Saints
,
their
end
is
Gods
glory
,
mens
conversion
,
edification
,
and
eternall
salvation
;
these
are
things
which
cannot
be
carried
along
by
naturall
reason
,
or
civill
prudence
,
but
onely
by
the
light
of
that
spirituall
and
heavenly
Rule
,
the
Word
of
God
;
and
therefore
in
these
things
you
have
no
Lordly
rule
;
Unum
Dominum
habemus
qui
animas
nostras
gubernat
;
all
your
power
in
these
things
must
be
ad
modum
ministerii
,
not
imperii
;
you
must
carry
your selves
,
not
as
the
Churches
Masters
,
but
as
Christs
servants
,
yea
and
as
servants
to
the
Church
for
Christs
sake
,
not
as
Lords
,
to
dispose
of
the
affaires
of
it
at
your
owne
pleasure
,
but
at
the
direction
of
his
Word
onely
:
This
then
must
you
set
down
for
a
Rule
,
That
you
are
limited
to
the
Word
,
and
men
under
your
authority
must
,
before
they
obey
your
Orders
,
examine
them
by
the
Word
,
and
find
them
to
be
both
lawfull
in
their
nature
,
and
expedient
in
their
use
,
for
edification
,
peace
,
order
,
&c.
But
(
my
Lords
)
though
you
have
not
such
an
imperium
here
,
as
in
humane
things
,
yet
the
power
and
authority
that
Gods
Word
hath
given
you
for
the
carrying
on
of
this
work
,
is
exceeding
great
,
and
it
may
be
reduced
to
these
two
heads
:
First
,
the
Lord
would
have
you
his
instruments
for
the
purgation
and
reformation
;
secondly
,
for
the
preservation
of
the
Church
,
when
you
have
brought
it
into
a
state
of
reformation
.
First
,
for
the
purgation
and
reformation
of
it
;
all
the
rubbish
,
all
the
drosse
,
the
Antichristian
pelfe
and
garbidge
that
the
house
of
God
is
defiled
with
,
you
are
to
throw
it
all
out
,
with
Josiah
,
into
the
brook
Kidron
;
to
sweep
it
all
out
,
and
to
bring
back
the
people
,
who
have
been
misled
into
Arminianisme
,
to
Popery
,
to
Superstition
,
to
any
of
these
abominable
wayes
,
you
are
to
remove
all
these
stumbling-blocks
,
and
to
bring
them
back
againe
unto
the
knowledge
of
the
Lord
their
God
:
this
God
requires
at
the
hands
of
Princes
;
thus
did
Jehoshaphat
,
thus
did
Hezekiah
,
thus
did
Josiah
,
thus
did
Ezra
and
Nehemiah
,
all
the
good
Kings
of
old
,
they
all
made
it
their
care
to
command
the
people
,
to
make
them
enter
into
an
Oath
,
and
a
Curse
;
and
none
might
live
under
their
priviledge
and
protection
,
who
would
not
returne
to
the
God
of
their
Fathers
:
I
confesse
,
I
think
it
is
not
in
the
power
of
Magistrates
to
compell
a
people
(
unto
whom
God
can
lay
no
claime
by
Covenant
)
to
alter
from
a
heathenish
Religion
to
be
the
Lords
people
,
yet
they
should
be
carefull
to
send
Ministers
to
preach
unto
them
,
and
try
if
by
any
meanes
they
may
be
brought
to
receive
the
truth
in
love
;
yea
and
to
punish
them
severely
,
if
they
blaspheme
,
or
seek
to
draw
away
Gods
people
to
Idolatry
,
&c.
When
the
Jewes
,
David
,
or
Solomon
,
or
any
of
their
Kings
,
conquered
the
Nations
round
about
them
,
they
never
compelled
any
of
them
to
forsake
their
false
Gods
,
and
to
turne
Proselytes
,
because
those
people
never
had
chosen
God
to
be
their
God
;
but
a
people
who
once
had
in
Covenant
made
themselves
the
Lords
,
and
so
the
Lord
by
virtue
of
the
Covenant
could
lay
claim
to
them
and
their
posterity
,
his
Princes
and
servants
have
ever
(
according
to
his
will
)
compelled
these
to
stand
to
their
Covenant
,
or
else
they
should
not
enjoy
their
protection
;
and
therefore
Josiah
,
and
those
good
Kings
put
them
all
to
death
who
followed
Baal
,
and
returned
not
unto
the
Lord
their
God
.
For
our selves
,
our
Plantations
ought
never
to
endevour
to
convert
Infidels
by
violence
,
Christs
people
must
be
a
willing
people
,
we
leave
such
conversions
to
the
Spaniards
,
who
worried
the
Indians
to
death
with
dogges
,
and
drove
them
into
the
river
like
cattell
,
and
compelled
them
to
be
baptized
:
but
for
a
people
who
have
received
Christianity
,
and
have
been
seduced
to
Anti-christianity
,
to
whom
still
the
Lord
continues
his
claime
,
by
the
same
right
that
Jehu
destroyed
Baal
,
and
other
good
Kings
Jeroboams
Calves
,
and
the
rest
of
their
Idols
,
and
compelled
them
to
stand
to
the
Lords
Covenant
and
Oath
,
by
the
same
warrant
and
rule
may
you
root
out
Popery
and
Heresie
,
and
proceed
against
incorrigible
Papists
,
Hereticks
,
Blasphemers
,
and
such
as
have
apostatized
from
the
Lord
,
and
refuse
to
returne
:
This
power
the
Lord
hath
given
you
for
the
purgation
of
Religion
,
to
remove
and
cast
out
the
things
that
are
abominable
.
You
have
power
also
,
and
it
is
your
duty
,
to
set
up
all
Gods
Ordinances
;
Ordinances
for
Worship
,
Ordinances
for
Government
;
thus
did
all
the
good
Kings
you
shall
read
of
:
You
are
also
to
finde
out
fit
Ministers
for
the
house
of
God
,
to
see
that
they
be
regularly
called
,
tried
,
and
ordained
,
and
sent
forth
,
in
the
way
of
the
Gospel
;
all
this
the
Lord
hath
put
into
your
hands
.
This
for
the
Reformation
;
and
when
you
have
set
the
house
of
God
in
a
good
state
,
the
Lord
calls
you
further
to
take
care
for
the
preservation
of
it
,
by
providing
Seminaries
of
learning
and
piety
,
that
the
Sons
of
the
Prophets
may
be
bred
,
that
there
may
never
want
a
seed
to
furnish
the
house
of
God
;
with
able
,
faithfull
,
and
skilfull
Work-men
,
and
to
provide
and
continue
sufficient
maintenance
to
them
:
And
so
likewise
to
convocate
Synods
,
Assemblies
,
and
to
encourage
Ministers
,
with
putting
them
upon
their
duties
,
quickning
them
up
to
it
,
&c.
providing
that
the
mouth
of
the
Oxe
be
not
muzled
,
that
treads
out
the
Corne
;
that
the
Levites
be
not
compelled
to
leave
their
Cities
:
All
these
things
for
the
preservation
of
Religion
hath
the
Lord
put
into
your
hands
,
and
these
things
God
requires
at
your
hands
:
yea
(
I
say
further
)
the
Lord
would
have
you
look
to
it
,
that
as
none
shall
rob
Gods
people
of
the
liberties
Christ
hath
given
them
,
nor
take
away
any
of
their
priviledges
from
them
;
yea
,
and
that
the
weak
,
both
in
knowledge
,
faith
,
and
practice
,
be
born
with
,
so
far
as
the
Apostles
Canons
doe
require
:
so
on
the
other
side
to
provide
that
Hereticks
and
false
Teachers
,
who
would
withdraw
the
people
from
their
God
,
who
would
steale
them
away
from
the
knowledge
,
and
worship
,
and
service
of
God
,
to
licenciousnesse
,
to
profanesse
,
to
ungodlinesse
,
to
idolatry
,
to
blasphemy
,
and
to
such
things
as
overthrow
Religion
;
the
Lord
requires
it
at
your
hands
,
not
to
permit
such
Wolves
to
live
amongst
them
;
surely
such
are
no
more
to
be
born
with
,
who
thus
murther
soules
,
then
they
who
murther
mens
bodies
.
Now
(
my
Lords
)
these
are
admirable
duties
and
dignities
,
these
are
such
things
to
be
employed
in
,
that
there
is
not
an
Angel
in
heaven
,
not
an
Apostle
now
with
God
,
nor
a
Minister
on
earth
,
but
would
as
willingly
be
employed
in
this
work
,
as
to
be
in
the
glory
of
heaven
it selfe
;
and
seeing
God
himselfe
appears
in
his
glory
when
he
builds
up
Zion
,
my
humble
suit
is
,
that
your
Lordships
would
count
it
your
glory
,
and
think
with
David
you
never
are
so
gallant
and
glorious
,
as
when
you
are
dancing
before
the
Ark
of
God
.
And
to
stirre
you
up
to
it
,
I
shall
use
two
sorts
of
Motives
;
one
taken
from
your
selves
,
from
your
owne
present
standing
and
condition
:
the
other
,
from
the
consequence
and
benefit
of
the
work
it self
.
First
,
your
owne
standing
and
condition
affords
you
many
notable
arguments
,
such
as
might
even
compell
you
to
make
it
your
glory
to
help
forward
this
great
building
of
the
Church
of
God
.
You
are
great
men
,
lifted
up
above
your
Brethren
:
God
hath
done
that
for
you
,
which
he
hath
denied
to
millions
in
the
Kingdome
;
you
know
your
states
,
bloud
,
birth
,
dignities
,
priviledges
,
so
well
,
that
I
need
not
reckon
them
:
Now
God
having
made
you
greater
then
others
,
he
expects
,
and
certainly
it
would
be
a
very
comely
thing
,
that
you
should
be
the
forwardest
of
all
to
help
forward
this
work
,
that
God
is
so
well
pleased
with
.
And
secondly
,
God
hath
also
put
into
your
hands
more
talents
and
abilities
,
and
opportunities
to
doe
this
work
,
then
into
the
hands
of
others
:
many
willing
men
,
who
would
lay
downe
all
,
would
doe
all
,
and
give
all
they
have
to
further
it
,
yet
are
not
able
to
doe
so
much
as
one
Vote
of
yours
may
doe
;
one
I
,
or
one
No
,
given
by
you
,
may
more
forward
the
building
of
this
work
,
then
the
lives
and
states
of
many
thousands
:
Now
when
such
an
opportunity
is
in
your
hands
,
when
you
are
so
furnished
and
enabled
to
doe
it
,
how
sad
a
thing
would
it
prove
if
you
should
not
improve
it
?
Nay
thirdly
,
(
my
Lords
)
you
are
Noble-men
,
and
therefore
you
cannot
out
of
true
Nobility
but
desire
to
have
your
hands
in
noble
and
honourable
imploiments
;
sure
I
am
,
since
you
were
borne
,
or
since
this
generation
begun
,
never
was
it
in
the
hand
or
opportunity
of
men
,
to
be
laid
out
more
honourably
,
then
you
may
in
cordially
helping
forward
this
great
work
:
never
can
you
be
so
glorious
in
the
eyes
of
God
and
his
Angels
,
no
such
glorie
or
Nobilitie
as
to
be
emploied
in
this
work
;
had
you
all
Acts
of
Parliament
,
to
entaile
all
your
Lands
,
Honours
,
Names
and
Fortunes
,
all
that
you
are
,
and
all
else
that
you
wish
for
,
would
never
make
you
so
honourable
,
as
to
be
numbred
amongst
these
that
built
up
the
Church
of
God
;
that
when
the
Lord
shall
reckon
up
the
people
,
who
were
by
him
emploied
in
the
work
,
as
he
saith
once
of
Zion
,
This
and
that
man
was
borne
there
;
so
for
God
to
say
,
for
the
Registers
of
his
acts
and
worthy
deeds
to
say
,
Such
a
Noble-man
,
such
an
Earle
,
such
a
Lord
,
stood
out
in
my
cause
and
worke
,
when
the
Nobles
of
Tekoah
would
not
put
their
hands
to
it
:
When
some
of
the
Nobles
of
Judah
kept
intelligence
with
Sanballat
and
Tobiah
,
when
some
others
discouraged
the
well-affected
;
such
a
man
,
like
another
Nehemiah
,
wrought
for
me
night
and
day
,
and
never
put
off
his
cloaths
except
it
were
to
wash
them
;
never
could
such
an
honour
be
put
upon
you
;
look
not
while
you
live
in
this
world
,
though
you
might
live
an
hundred
yeares
,
ever
to
have
the
like
opportunitie
.
O
that
it
might
sink
deep
into
your
hearts
!
that
you
did
understand
what
an
honour
it
is
to
be
a
helper
of
God
,
in
laying
the
foundation
of
a
new
heaven
and
earth
!
Nay
(
my
Lords
)
consider
in
the
fourth
place
,
God
hath
called
you
to
it
,
as
expresly
as
he
did
call
Bezaleel
and
Aholiab
,
as
he
called
Hiram
,
when
Solomon
sent
for
him
,
to
help
him
build
the
Temple
:
he
could
have
cast
your
lot
to
be
meane
men
,
or
in
his
providence
have
left
you
among
them
who
have
deserted
him
and
his
cause
,
(
who
shall
therfore
one
day
be
cloathed
in
confusion
)
but
he
hath
kept
you
here
,
while
these
great
matters
of
Religion
are
in
hand
,
things
which
I
hope
will
prove
the
foundations
of
many
gnerations
:
This
work
he
hath
called
you
unto
,
and
hath
said
to
you
,
as
once
he
said
to
Cyrus
,
Build
my
house
;
and
when
God
calls
,
you
may
be
bold
to
follow
him
,
rely
upon
him
for
wisdome
,
counsell
,
strength
,
successe
,
&c.
according
to
that
promise
Esa.

I
will
go
before
thee
,
I
will
break
in
peeces
gates
of
brasse
,
and
barres
of
iron
,
I
am
the
Lord
who
calls
thee
,
and
will
blesse
thee
.
Yea
,
fifthly
,
the
Lord
hath
already
blessed
you
in
it
:
Remember
(
I
beseech
you
)
at
what
a
miserable
low
ebbe
we
were
,
when
your
Lordships
,
and
the
Honourable
House
of
Commons
,
entred
into
an
Oath
and
Covenant
with
God
Almighty
,
and
sware
unto
him
with
your
hands
lifted
up
to
heaven
,
that
you
would
endevour
the
reformation
of
Religion
;
what
our
state
was
then
,
and
how
this
work
was
derided
and
scorned
,
yet
ever
since
,
though
you
have
been
building
in
a
very
troublesome
time
,
and
have
for
our
sinnes
met
with
many
a
stop
,
many
a
Perez-Vzzah
in
bringing-in
the
Ark
of
God
,
a
blessed
alteration
hath
God
made
in
our
affaires
;
since
we
have
owned
his
cause
,
how
hath
he
owned
us
?
what
deep
conspiracies
hath
he
detected
?
what
victories
hath
he
bestowed
?
how
many
waies
hath
he
blessed
us
,
and
carried
the
work
on
,
notwithstanding
our
weaknesses
,
our
follies
,
our
not
taking
advantage
of
the
opportunities
,
yet
the
Lord
hath
carried
it
on
,
because
he
doth
owne
it
.
Nay
,
give
me
leave
to
adde
,
your
forwardnesse
and
hearty
affection
to
it
,
may
make
the
work
easie
to
all
others
;
if
you
as
so
many
Gedeons
goe
before
them
,
and
say
to
the
people
,
Doe
what
you
see
us
doe
,
Look
on
us
and
doe
likewise
;
in
this
cause
of
God
you
are
like
the
first
sheet
of
an
Impression
,
when
that
is
printed
,
it
is
a
patterne
for
thousands
to
be
wrought
off
afterwards
with
ease
.
Nay
lastly
,
know
it
for
certaine
,
that
in
this
point
of
the
purgation
and
reformation
of
Religion
,
all
the
well-affected
of
England
will
live
and
die
with
you
:
what
David
said
to
Solomon
,
My
Son
,
up
and
build
,
all
the
Nobles
,
and
Princes
,
and
the
courses
of
the
Priests
,
will
be
at
thy
command
,
I
may
boldly
apply
to
you
,
Go
on
in
this
work
,
and
you
shall
find
England
will
never
desert
you
,
the
State
of
England
,
the
well-affected
,
the
Gentry
,
the
People
,
the
Ministers
will
live
and
die
with
you
,
while
you
will
live
and
die
cordiall
to
Gods
cause
.
It
is
an
old
observation
,
when
Princes
and
great
men
leave
God
,
they
lose
their
Names
,
Friends
,
Glorie
:
while
Joash
was
for
Religion
,
they
all
stuck
to
him
;
when
he
listened
to
the
Princes
who
drew
him
off
from
God
,
he
lost
his
life
and
glorie
all
at
once
:
even
famous
Solomon
himselfe
,
who
built
the
Temple
,
when
he
forsook
God
,
he
lost
ten
of
his
twelve
Tribes
:
and
it
's
as
true
here
at
home
,
among
them
whose
hearts
remaine
faithfull
to
God
and
his
cause
,
either
in
the
house
of
Lords
or
Commons
,
although
some
clouds
doe
sometimes
rise
over
them
,
some
jealousies
and
surmises
,
(
which
soon
blow
over
againe
)
few
of
them
are
forsaken
;
but
let
any
tacke
about
,
and
forsake
God
,
and
they
are
blasted
presently
,
they
are
irrecoverably
lost
.
My
Lords
,
consider
of
these
things
seriously
,
and
let
these
arguments
,
taken
from
your
owne
condition
and
standing
,
provoke
you
to
goe
on
resolutely
in
this
glorious
work
.
There
is
one
Motive
more
,
and
that
is
taken
from
The
fruit
and
the
gaine
that
will
come
of
this
great
work
of
your
building
up
the
Church
of
God
:
Take
it
in
two
branches
,
in
two
things
,
both
which
(
I
am
assured
)
are
very
deare
to
you
;
the
one
concernes
your selves
,
the
other
the
State
.
For
your selves
,
your
Honours
,
and
Families
,
and
Posterities
,
are
certainly
very
deare
to
you
;
men
of
great
bloud
,
and
birth
,
and
estate
,
make
the
preservation
and
establishing
of
their
Familie
,
ordinarily
next
to
the
salvation
of
their
soules
:
Now
(
my
Lords
)
you
may
take
this
for
a
certaine
Rule
,
Build
you
Gods
house
,
God
will
build
yours
;
Jehu
,
though
not
sound
at
heart
,
entailed
the
Crowne
of
Israel
to
the
fourth
generation
upon
his
posteritie
,
for
sticking
to
God
in
the
cause
of
Baal
,
in
rooting
Baal
out
of
Israel
;
and
God
promised
concerning
Solomon
,
he
shall
build
my
house
,
and
I
will
establish
his
Throne
;
mark
it
,
those
two
go
together
,
he
shall
build
my
house
,
and
I
will
establish
his
Throne
;
and
God
said
to
David
in
the
same
chapter
,
because
he
had
but
a
purpose
to
build
a
house
for
the
Lord
,
because
it
was
in
thy
heart
to
doe
it
,
I
will
build
thy
house
for
ever
;
and
even
the
very
Midwives
in
Egypt
,
who
loved
Gods
people
,
God
built
them
houses
.
So
that
if
ever
you
would
eternize
your
names
,
and
bring
Gods
blessing
upon
your
families
,
know
certainly
this
is
the
onely
way
,
other
projects
will
not
doe
it
,
he
can
cut
off
families
and
houses
in
their
greatest
glory
:
Shebna
thought
by
pride
,
and
pomp
,
and
state
,
to
carry
it
out
,
but
shalt
thou
reigne
(
saith
God
)
because
thou
hast
built
thee
a
brave
house
?
I
le
kick
thee
like
a
ball
in
strange
countries
:
It
is
no
thinking
to
continue
greatnesse
in
despight
of
God
,
who
at
his
pleasure
puls
down
and
raiseth
up
.
But
in
this
work
you
have
him
ingaged
,
build
you
Gods
house
,
and
hee
will
build
yours
,
give
his
blessing
to
your
posterity
,
or
in
case
they
faile
,
give
you
a
name
that
is
better
then
of
Sons
and
Daughters
.
But
I
'l
tell
you
that
which
is
better
for
you
,
better
to
your
soules
,
when
you
have
served
him
herein
this
glorious
work
,
when
the
day
of
account
and
reward
comes
,
they
who
faithfully
work
most
in
this
building
,
shall
have
the
best
wages
,
they
shall
sit
upon
thrones
there
,
and
shine
even
as
the
Sun
in
the
firmament
,
for
ever
.
Secondly
,
The
benefit
of
this
work
for
the
publique
State
.
The
publique
State
(
my
Lords
)
is
that
,
that
you
have
sweat
and
toyl'd
for
hitherto
,
and
you
would
rejoyce
to
see
it
well
setled
,
to
see
poore
England
,
buoide
out
of
these
quick-sands
,
into
which
it
is
falne
:
What
a
blessed
man
would
he
be
,
that
could
but
put
us
into
the
way
,
how
to
pacify
Gods
wrath
kindled
against
the
Nation
,
and
secure
it
for
the
time
to
come
;
Now
(
my
Lords
)
this
will
doe
both
,
this
will
pacify
the
wrath
of
God
.
No
such
way
under
Heaven
,
to
remove
it
,
as
to
goe
on
faithfully
in
Reforming
the
House
of
God
,
in
setling
Religion
according
to
the
Word
:
That
Heathen
King
Artaxerxes
,
sent
a
letter
by
Ezra
,
to
all
the
Governours
,
and
bids
them
,
that
they
should
let
Ezra
have
all
that
he
would
desire
for
the
House
of
God
,
so
much
Gold
and
Silver
,
and
Wheat
,
and
Oyle
,
and
Salt
,
as
much
as
he
would
,
and
bids
him
goe
on
,
and
set
all
in
order
;
and
what
was
the
great
Motive
?
For
(
saith
he
)
Why
should
there
be
wrath
upon
the
Realme
of
the
King
,
and
his
Sons
?
marke
it
,
if
all
was
not
done
that
was
requisite
for
the
House
of
God
,
there
would
be
wrath
;
and
let
it
be
done
,
and
there
would
be
no
wrath
;
so
I
say
to
you
,
that
God
who
hath
cast
us
into
these
combustions
,
can
easily
quiet
them
:
how
often
when
we
have
been
ready
to
strike
saile
in
the
harbour
,
hath
some
Euroclydon
cast
us
out
into
the
sea
againe
?
and
on
the
other
side
,
when
ready
to
sinke
,
how
unexpectedly
hath
he
raised
our
hopes
?
Our
work
lies
with
him
,
and
with
him
only
,
pacify
God
and
all
is
done
;
this
black
storm
will
bee
blown
over
,
if
hee
but
speak
all
will
bee
quiet
:
you
may
see
this
clearly
in
the
prophecy
of
Haggai
,
God
was
very
much
displeased
with
them
,
and
blasted
and
cursed
every
thing
they
took
in
hand
,
but
as
soon
as
they
cordially
set
upon
this
work
,
his
spirit
was
pacifyed
towards
them
.
And
then
for
time
to
come
,
(
with
which
I
end
)
The
doing
of
this
work
wil
be
the
readiest
way
to
secure
England
against
the
like
danger
;
I
am
perswaded
,
you
all
think
that
the
seeds
of
deadly
and
continuall
feuds
are
now
rooted
between
Family
and
Family
,
Neighbour
and
Neighbour
,
such
are
the
plunders
and
havocks
made
out
of
cruell
spight
,
and
God
knowes
whether
the
childe
but
new
born
will
ever
live
to
see
an
end
of
them
;
these
I
think
are
your
feares
,
but
carry
you
on
this
work
,
and
this
will
secure
the
peace
of
the
State
for
the
time
to
come
,
I
say
againe
,
the
doing
of
this
shall
secure
all
,
so
that
no
Enemy
shall
bee
able
to
hurt
you
.
It
's
said
of
the
Trojans
Palladium
,
and
the
Romans
Ancile
,
that
they
were
the
protection
of
those
Cities
,
that
while
they
were
safe
,
no
Enemy
could
hurt
them
;
when
they
were
stolne
and
gone
,
the
City
was
lost
;
Certainely
the
establishing
of
this
,
will
bee
the
Palladium
and
Ancile
of
England
;
you
have
a
promise
in
the
fourth
of
Isaiah
,
the
latter
end
of
it
,
The
Lord
would
create
upon
every
dwelling
of
Mount
Zion
,
a
pillar
of
a
cloud
,
and
a
pillar
of
fire
,
for
Upon
all
the
glory
there
shall
bee
a
defence
,
mark
,
a
defence
upon
all
the
glory
;
Keligion
is
the
glory
,
the
ordering
of
Gods
House
,
is
his
glory
,
and
that
is
a
defence
even
a
wall
of
fire
;
And
you
have
had
good
experience
of
the
fruit
of
Religion
,
in
this
huge
conflict
wee
have
had
these
three
or
foure
yeeres
together
for
our
Religion
,
and
Liberty
;
mark
,
who
are
they
that
have
left
you
,
and
who
adheard
unto
you
,
whether
the
Counties
that
have
forsaken
you
,
have
not
generally
been
the
dark
places
,
the
Cities
,
and
corners
of
the
Land
,
where
nothing
but
superstition
,
Prelacy
,
Ignorance
,
and
profanenesse
have
dwelt
,
and
whether
the
City
of
London
,
and
the
Counties
which
have
had
the
Gospel
,
where
Christ
hath
been
soundly
preached
,
have
not
been
the
men
,
who
to
the
exhausting
of
all
,
have
adheared
to
you
in
your
righteous
defence
;
and
it
's
hard
to
name
one
Town
that
hath
been
against
you
,
where
the
people
are
subdued
to
the
Gospel
of
Christ
,
and
you
find
the
generality
of
godly
men
thorow-out
the
Kingdom
resolved
to
sink
or
swim
with
you
,
because
Jesus
Christ
hath
put
it
into
your
hearts
,
to
reform
and
build
up
Zion
.
I
will
conclude
with
that
promise
,
in
the
58
of
Isaiah
,
the
latter
end
,
where
the
Lord
exhorts
his
people
to
build
the
old
waste
places
,
and
repaire
the
Cities
for
the
generations
,
&c.
The
great
incouragement
which
the
Lord
there
gives
them
is
,
The
glory
of
the
Lord
shall
bee
their
Rereward
;
not
their
reward
onely
,
but
their
rereward
,
their
reserve
;
that
that
shall
back
them
;
the
glory
of
the
Lord
is
Religion
,
the
Ark
and
Ordinances
:
Set
up
Religion
,
beautifie
the
place
of
his
Sanctuary
,
make
the
place
of
his
feet
glorious
,
that
will
keep
God
among
you
,
and
keep
the
people
faithfull
to
God
and
your selves
,
and
establish
you
so
,
that
the
Enemy
shall
not
bee
able
to
rise
up
,
or
if
he
do
,
and
come
one
way
,
he
shall
fly
seven
waies
;
And
this
is
the
first
Circumstance
from
which
the
Prophet
so
magnifies
this
work
of
building
up
Zion
,
because
when
the
Lord
doth
build
up
Zion
,
hee
appears
in
his
glory
:
Consider
what
I
have
said
,
and
the
Lord
give
you
understanding
in
al
things
.
