He hath made many glorious promises to his Church: and though in respect of execution of them, they are yet to come, yet in respect of the stability of the purpose, they are as good as performed. Jehoshaphat when he had a promise, sets the singers to praise the Lord in the beauty ⟨p. 121⟩of holiness, he was as sure of it, as if already done: It was his work rather to believe than fight, and to shout a victory rather than to strike a stroke, 2 Chro. 20.21.22. He appointed Singers to praise the Lord in the beauty of his holiness.
