Fifthly, Another step or gradation, in mans, §5and so in Gods rising, in the sense mentioned is, The putting on of the Armour, the harnessing of himself for the Battle: Then is a man up, when he hath put on his clothes; and then is a Soldier up, when he hath put on his Armour: and this also is spoken of God by the Prophet, in Elegant language (as he was taught by the holy Ghost) And he looked, and there was no man, 1and he wondered there was no Intercessor, therefore his own Arm brought salvation, &c. He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal, as with a cloak. Thus you see God armed, from head to foot, then woe be to his enemies, for it follows; 2According to their deeds, accordingly will he repay fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies, to the Islands he will repay recompense.
