- 1Verse 10.
Here is the triumphant song of victory, which all the Saints and Angels do sing unto God, praising and magnifying his power, and the power of his Son Christ, for overcoming the Dragon, and giving the victory to the Church through Christ. For now with great joy and loud voices they sing and say, that the Churches salvation is sealed and made sure unto her for ever. It can never be shaken. The devil is foiled and cast down into the earth.

These songs of joy after great victories are of great antiquity in the Church; as we read of the children of Israel after the overthrow of Pharaoh and his army in the red sea: of Deborah after the great victory over Sisera; of the women that sung after the victory of Goliath by David.
