2. He is their Redeemer: That you have in the Text, Our Redeemer, The Lord of Hosts is his name. The §2Lord undertakes the redeeming of his people under this title of his, on purpose that the multitude, the greatness, the fury of their enemies might not daunt them. Your Redeemer is not one that cannot save, he is The Lord of Hosts, and one you may certainly confide in, for he is The holy One of Israel.

3. He is the pleader, yea the through pleader of the cause of his people. Jer. 50. 34. Their Redeemer is §3strong, the Lord of Hosts is his name, he shall throughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon. God hath begun to plead the cause of his people already, and he hath shown himself The Lord of Hosts in it, but he hath not yet throughly pleaded their cause as he means to do; when he shall do that, he will then give rest to the Land, and disquiet the Inhabitants of Babylon. This work will cost the inhabitants of Babylon dear; they were never so disquieted amongst us as they are at this day. They have troubled the Saints, and God now troubles them, but will yet disquiet them more; although they think to defend themselves by gathering Armies, yet the Lord of Hosts shall disquiet them, and give rest to his people: There remains yet a rest for the people of God, even in this world.
