Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one towards another; according to, or (as the Margin hath it) after the example of Christ Jesus; that ye may with one mind, and with one mouth, glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. All the Sons of God in the Text were of one mind, and had (as it were) but one mouth, the joy of one was the joy of them all. All the Sons of God on Earth have this principle in them, to rejoice in God, and to magnify God for his mercy; only all have not the same light: They that have not an habitual principle in them, to praise God in and for his works, are not of his family; they are not worthy to be reckoned Sons of God, who have not a readiness, or present disposition in them, to join with all, or with any of his true Sons, in shouting for joy at his gracious appearances in his mighty works of mercy; as also in humbling themselves together with them, at the terrible appearances of his dreadful works of Judgement, or at the usual prognostics or fore-runners of them.

Again, Taking the Stars for the Angels, they were Morning Stars; the Angels sang and shouted for joy, in the Morning.
