Therefore let us comfort our selves in all conditions for our selves,1 and for the State: put ease it be brought to a very small number, that the enemies were thousands more then we, many thousands and millions; yet, if we be in the Covenant of Grace, and in good terms with God, we have more for us then against us, we shall have Angels fight for us. You know Elisha's servant, when he saw a multitude of enemies, his eyes were opened to see a company of Angels; and saith the Prophet, there are more for us then against us. So, let us be to the eye of the world never so few, and never so weak; let us but have Elisha's eye, the eye of Faith, and we shall have his Guard about us alway, and about the Common-wealth: this should comfort us.2
