For our people; for the preservation of ourselves and all our brethren from that utter ruin which our enemies design for us. Our war is not vainly undertaken to enlarge our empire or glory, but for our own just and necessary defence; and therefore we may hope for God's blessing and assistance in it. For the cities of our God; which are devoted to his worship and service, and therefore he will plead their cause against his enemies. The Lord do that which seemeth him good; let us do our parts, and quietly refer ourselves and the event to God's good pleasure, which we have no reason to distrust.
