where tis said, That the Stars did fight in their Courses against Sisera: How did the Stars fight against Sisera, but by a terrible Storm; the Providence & Power ⟨p. 19⟩of God sharpening their influences? The Jewish Historian informs us, that in the memorable Battle fought with Sisera, there was a terrible Storm of Wind and Rain, mixed with Hail, and that the Providence of God did so order it, as that the Wind was on the back of the Children of Israel, and in the face of their Enemies, which made them unable to use their Bows and Arrows, and Darts and Slings. Thus did the S•ars fight against Sisera. Now the Stars and all their Influences are according to the Word of the Lord: they are all under the Conduct and Government of Divine Providence. Job 9.7. He commandeth the Sun, and it riseth not; and Sealeth up the Stars. ver. 9. He has made Arcturus. He that has ••ade A•c•••us, does surely overrule the influences of it by His Power and Providence. A•c•i••• is a Northern Constellation, that rises in the latter end of the Year, when storms are frequent.
