Let the consideration of the glory of our God in this his Name, teach us to give glory to him, for all 1the good we enjoy by Armies, it is all from him. He hath of late been exceeding gracious to our Army; he showed himself indeed The Lord of Hosts in that battle at Keynton. This was the acknowledgement both of General, Captains and Soldiers: Never less of man in such a business, never more of God. The Lord was seen in the Mount; He showed us that it should not be by a multitude that he would help us, it was by his spirit coming mightily upon a handful that were left in comparison of the adversaries. When the adversary thought, yea cried out the day was theirs, God turned it suddenly by a mighty hand. O how free is the grace of the Lord to us in this! That Scripture Jer. 51. 5. is fully made good to us, Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the Lord of Hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy one of Israel. The fullness of sin in us hath not abated the fullness of grace in God towards us. The Lord is God, the Lord is God, he is the Lord of Hosts, holy and reverent is his Nause.
