Secondly, Although you do not know your interest in this Lord of Hosts, yet your hearts may be stayed, yea, comforted in this, that the cause hath a deep interest in the very heart of this Lord of Hosts, and therefore that shall prosper howsoever. The satisfaction the soul takes in this is a special argument of interest in this God.

Thirdly, Yet further I will tell you how you shall know whether you have any special interest in this Lord of Hosts or not, from that Scripture, Psal. 84. 3. O Lord of Hosts my King and my God. Here are these two, Lord of Hosts, and my God. Now all the question is about the Copula, that which joins these two together: there you have it my King, that is set ⟨p. 73⟩between them; if then you can say, O Lord of Hosts my King, you need not stay there, but may confidently go further to the other, my God: If you can out of the uprightness of your hearts say, O Lord thou knowest the desires of our Souls are that thou mayest rule over us, O when shall we hear that blessed voice, The Kingdoms of the earth are the Lords & his Christs, and he shall reign for evermore! O that thy Kingdom might come more powerfully in our hearts, and that it might be more conspicuous in Church and State! The special reason (thou knowest) why we are willing to venture our selves as we do, to endure any hardship, to part with our estates, is that Antichrist may never rule amongst us again, but that we and our posterity may be under the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Surely this is the voice of those who have the Lord of Hosts to be their God. That is an everlasting rule, If he be thy King, he is thy God.
