First, The first time that ever any speaking to God §1called him by this name the Lord of Hosts, it was a woman, and that was Hannah, 1 Sam. 1. 11. She vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of Hosts if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, &c.

Secondly, One of the principallest Psalms wherein this ⟨p. 81⟩§2title of the Lord of Hosts is most magnified, is a Psalm tuned to that Musical instrument that virgins and women use to play on, from whence the Psalm hath its title, A Song upon Alamoth, Ps. 46. Which is as much as A song upon the Virginals: for the Hebrew word comes of a root that signifies to hide, and so we formerly made use of it: but from thence because Virgins used to be covered and hidden, hence Gnalamoth signifies Virgins, and here used for the musical instrument of Virgins. Virgins and Women it seems had wont to sing this Psal. and play to it upon the instrument. Now it is supposed that their hearts should be some way suitable to what they sung & played, & here they rejoicingly sing, The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge, ver. 7: And again, The Lord of Hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge, ver. 11. besides other passages, yea almost all the same tending this way.
