1. Who would not fear this God then? Job 13. 11. Shall not his excellency make you afraid? Behold here a great part of the excellency of his name; let it strike a reverential fear into our hearts. Psal. 76. 4. Thou art more glorious and excellent then the mountains of prey. The stout-hearted are spoiled: At thy rebuke O God of Jacob, the chariot and the horse are cast into a dead sleep. Then the inference, ver. 7. Thou, even thou art to be feared, and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?

2. Surely then it is good being on Gods side, to §2be of his party, this is the strongest side, this certainly will have the victory. It is safest to join with the Lord, and it is most honourable. You know what Christ said to his Disciples to strengthen them against fear, I could pray to my Father, and he would send me twelve Legions of Angels. David, Psal. 27. though alone, yet he thinks himself safe enough with the Lord of Hosts, ver. 3. Though an Host shall encamp against me, my heart should not fear; Though War should rise against me, in this will I be confident: In what? ver. 1. That the Lord is his light, his salvation, and the strength of his life. If we be with the Lord, we may be sure that we shall ever have with us more then against us.
