An echo, or, The trumpeters triumph shewing the originall of a trumpet, from the alpha of Genesis to the omega of the Revelation very necessary and fit to be perused in these sad and mournfull times of all that wish wel to the peace of Ierusalem / written by E.F.

Gideon his stratagem of Trumpets and Lamps in pitchers.

And Gideon divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a Trumpet into every mans hand with empty Pitchers, and Lamps within the Pitchers; and he said unto them, Look on me, and doe likewise; and behold, when I come unto the outside of the Camp, it shall be, that as I doe so shall ye doe. When I blow the Trumpet, and all that are with me, then blow ye the Trumpets on every side of all the Campe, and say, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon. So Gideon and the three hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the Camp in the beginning of the middle watch, and they had but newly set the wa••ch, and they blew the Trumpets and brake the Pitchers that were in their hands. And the three Companies blew their Trumpets, and brake the Pitchers, and held the Lamps in their left hands, and their Trumpets in their right

hands to blow withall; and they cryed, The sword of the Lord and of Gideon. And they stood every man in his place round about the Campe, and all the host ran, and cried, and fled; and the three hundred blew the T••umpets, and the Lord set every mans sword against his fellow, even thorowout all the host, and the host fled even to Betshittah in Zererath, and to the border of

Abel-meholah unto Tabbath, Judg. 7. 16. 17. 18.
