Hos. 12. 5, 6. Even the Lord God of Hosts, the Lord is his memoriall, therefore turne thou to thy God.
Zach. 1. 3. Say to them, Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, Turn ye unto me, saith the Lord of Hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of Hosts. Here we have also this name of God three times, as a provocation to us to return unto him. Let us all know, and especially those who are in service in the Army, the great General, the Lord of Hosts calls to us, he calls to you to return to him, and promises to return to us, to return to you. As if he should say, You have been very vile and wicked, your consciences cannot but tell you so, and I know it; yet return now to me, and I profess my self notwithstanding all that you have done, I am here ready and willing to return to you, all shall be forgiven, as if it had never been committed. Surely there is no such valour, as in a spirit cleared from the guilt and filth of sin.
