It is matter of amazement to hear the sounding, the rattling, the clashing of arms, and other dreadful noises that the field is filled with in a day of battle (Isa. 9.5.) Every battle of the warrior is with confused noise; and 'tis much that the confusion of the noise, doth not make a confusion in the spirits of those that are engaged in battle.

It is a piece of valour in the horse, not to be troubled with or at the rattling of the quiver. The Lord to show that he would totally take away the spirit of courage from his own people for their sins (who had been so valiant to sin against him, and would run upon sin, notwithstanding the rattling of his quiver, his threatenings, denounced against them) telleth them (Levit. 26.36.) I will carry you into the land of your enemies. What then? And (saith he) upon them that are left alive of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts, in the land of their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them. Now as it shows an extreme cowardice and faintness of spirit, to shake and run at the shaking of a leaf; so to stand firm, to keep our ground and not be moved, when there is such a noise and clattering, as even shakes the earth, and confounds all the elements (as it were) this shows a mighty courage.
