If bloody Papists, and cursing and blaspheming Cavaliers might have their wills on us, our miseries would soon parallel theirs, if not rise above them, seeing so many of them are got together, and they are grown to such a height in their rage, it is only from this great Lord of Hosts that they break not in upon us as a deluge of the most hideous woes, and dreadful miseries that ever befell any Christian Nation upon the face of the earth: but blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Let the Crown of all our mercies, and more especially of that great mercy in the late battle be set upon the head of this glorious Lord of Hosts. We read 2 Sam. 12. 27, 28. when Joab fought against Rabbah, when the work was almost done, he sent to David to come and take the City, that he might have the glory of it, that the Kings Crown which was of gold and precious stones might be, set upon Davids head. Although God hath made use of instruments in this great work, and due honour is to be given to them, yet let the crown of the work be set upon the head of the Lord of Hosts.
