And such is the exactness of their order and motion, that the stars of heaven are frequently in Scripture called an host or an army: Now an army, as it consists of many persons (which is one reason why the stars are called an host) so an army rightly marshalled is cast into an exact form, and so regular for motion, that it is one of the good liest sights in the world. Now the stars are the host of heaven, they stand (as it were) in battalia, they ⟨p. 217⟩keep rank and file; there is not so much as one of that great multitude out of place; therefore, Judg. 5.20. where they are said to fight against Sisera, they are described fighting in courses, The stars in their courses fought against Sisera; as if the stars had been drawn up, now one regiment, then another regiment of them, to charge upon Sisera and his host: the heavens fought, and the stars fought, that is, the Lord by an heavenly power and influence of the stars confounded Sisera, and all the enemies of Israel.
