In heaven he hath armies; of fire to burn Sodom: of floods to drown a world: of hail-stones to kill the Amorites: of stars, as here Debora sings. They fought from heaven: 1the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. And whilst Israel slew their enemies at their Generals prayer;2 the Sun stood still in Gibeon, and the Moon in the valley of Aialon. Yea ⟨p. 10⟩there are heavenly soldiers. 3Luke 2. Suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly host. One of these celestial soldiers slew in one night above an hundred thousand Assyrians.

And whilst Israel slew their enemies at their Generalls prayer;2 the Sunne stood still in Gibeon, and the Moone in the valley of Aialon. Yea ⟨p. 10⟩there are heauenly souldiers. 3Luke 2. Suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude of the heauenly hoste. One of these celestiall souldiers slew in one night aboue an hundred thousand Assyrians.
