Thirdly, the adversary may prevail, because the Saints do not awaken the Lord of Hosts by §3Prayer. Psal. 59. 9. Thou therefore O Lord God of Hosts the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen, be not merciful to wicked transgressors. Isaiah 51. 9. Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake as in the ancient days, as in the generations of old. Art not thou he that hast cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon? We have here in one verse three times crying to God to awake. God hath strength enough to help his people. There is an Arm of the Lord, but yet this Arm of the Lord may be for a time as it were asleep, therefore the Church cries, Awake O Arm of the Lord: And that she may be sure the Lord should hear, she cries again and again, Awake, awake, O arm of the Lord, put on strength. We are now to look back to former times, to see how God hath manifested himself The Lord of Hosts, and to cry to him, that now in our days he would show forth the glory of this glorious title of his, as he hath done in the generations of old.
