And on the other side, If thou hadst but an heart to turn unto the Lord, Oh how joyful would this Title be to thee, that that God which is thy God, is the Lord of Hosts, is the Lord of all the Hosts in the World: We are not afraid now to see Soldiers, and hear the beating of Drums, and shooting of Guns, when we know that all are our Friends; but if we should have heard the beating 1of Drums, and neighing of Horses, and shooting of Guns of our Enemies, that would have struck fear: So, one that hath turned to God need not fear any Army, any Creatures, Why? for all is commanded by God their Father, and Oh! the joy, peace and security that a heart may have that is turned to God.

Therefore turn unto the Lord, because he is the Lord of Hosts.
