One day the Lord will convince the world, that the strength of Nations and Kingdoms consist in the interest that the godly have in this Lord of Hosts. Zach. 12. 5. And the Governors of Judah shall say in their hearts, Our strength is in the inhabitants of Jerusalem, in the Lord of Hosts their God: Oh that this prophecy were fulfilled! it begins to be more now then ever in our days or our forefathers; Even those who have been accounted hypocrites, factious heretofore, yet now even the Governors of Judah begin to see their strength is in them. Who hath the burden of the great work in this State lain upon but the Religious party? hath it not been published in your ⟨p. 24⟩City by chief men in the Army, that the great things in the Army were done by those that are called Round-heads?

This great Lord of Hosts, who is the God of Heaven will certainly do great things by such an Host.
