there in Salem, in Zion, where his Tabernacle was, in the congregation of Saints praying, there the arrow of the bow, the shield and the spear is broken. It is reported of the King of Sweden, that as soon as he set foot in Germany, he fell down to prayer to this Lord of Hosts, and what great things did he in a little time? In this Gods servants have the advantage of their adversaries, they can pray to the Lord of Hosts, the other cannot: They can blaspheme, but pray they cannot. In this they have always the advantage of the hill, and the wind of their enemies, and this is a great encouragement in battle. It puts heart mightily into Soldiers that know any thing of God, to think that they go forth with the blessing of prayers with them, and that they have prayers continually sent up to heaven for them. At that great fight near Banbury, October 23. when many ran away, those that were left fell on with courage, and gave a mighty shout, Now for the fruit of prayer, Now for the fruit of prayer, and so their spirits were raised to more then an ordinary height, and they prevailed mightily, slaying near ten to one.
