the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. They shall bring so much terror with them, as even to affect the very heavens, it shall be like as if the sun and moon had lost all their light, as if there were earth-quakes in every place where they come. Ver. 11. And the Lord shall utter his voice before his Army. As Commanders speak with a voice ⟨p. 102⟩of majesty before their Armies, so the Lord shall utter his voice before this his Army, he shall even glory to be the Leader of such an Army as this; for saith the Text, His camp is very great, and strong that executeth his word: the day of the Lord is great, and very terrible, and who can abide it? All this still is the army of Locusts and Worms, for so it is ver. 25. I will restore to you the years that the Locusts have eaten, the canker-worm, and the cater-pillar, and the palmer-worm, my great Army which I sent among you. Now if God can raise to this height Locusts and Worms to be such a dreadful Army, how dreadful then is the Lord able to make all his other great Hosts? Surely a glorious Lord of Hosts is this God.
