The Second is this, That the consideration of God, to be the LORD of Hosts, is a mighty motive to cause us to turn to God: 1Wilt thou go on in ways of enmity against the Lord of Hosts, the Lord of Hosts who hath Angels and all Creatures to fight for him? Wilt thou, a poor worm, stand out against this God? thou that goest on in a way of wickedness, know, thou fightest against the great LORD of Hosts. What were it for a drunken fellow to come and think to oppose but such an Army as we have that goes out of the City at this time? but for a poor wretched 2worm to think to stand against the Infinite GOD, the Lord of Hosts, Oh! 'tis infinite boldness, and presumption, and desperate madness in that man; therefore turn to the Lord: All the while thou art going on in ways of wickedness, thou art fighting against the Lord of Hosts.
