1. It fills them with joy and rejoicing in the Lord, that of him they make their boast and to him they give the glory all the day long. They rejoice not only as the Disciples did, that the Devils are subject to them, but that their names are written in the Book of Life, Luke 10.17. They triumph in the praises of God, and say, Thanks be to God who hath given us the Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. When they erect an Altar, the name and Motto is, Jehovah nissi, the Lord my Banner, and the Lord my strength; 'twas he that taught me to fight and gave me the victory: Not to us, not to us, but to thy name be all the glory. They set up their Eben-Ezer, saying, Hitherto the Lord hath helped us. They rejoice in the Salvation of God, and in the name of their God they set up their Banners. They glory not in riches nor strength, but in the Lord. In fine, I may tell you that they sing the 18. Psalm.
