¹If God be the Lord of Hosts, let us be so wise as to engage him on our side, Psalm 46 11. The Lord of Hosts ⟨p. 159⟩is with us. Great is the Privilege to have the Lord of Hosts for us. 1. If the Lord of Hosts be on our side, he can discover the subtle plots of Enemies. Thus he detected the Counsel of Ahithophel, 2 Sam. 17.16. And did not the Lord discover the Popish conspirators both in the Powder-Treason (that Catholic villainy) and of late, when they would have subverted Religion and Laws, and like Italian Butchers have turned England into an Akeldama or Field of blood? If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, now may England say, when men rose up against us, they had swallowed us up quick.
