And of how great weight and force to the animating a People, or 
Army , the Genius of a Good General is , may be evinced , by that 
difmal Revolution , which happened to the Vmted Provinces in the 
Year, 167^* This People, fo famous in Hiftory for thxdv Courage ^

Moreover, to the fame Caufe, under God, to the Influence and Con-
