“_Read this Declaration at the head of the army, every sword will be drawn from its scabbard and the solemn vow uttered to maintain it or perish on the bed of honor. Publish it from the pulpit, religion will approve it and the love of religious liberty will cling round it, resolved to stand with it or fall with it; send it to the public halls,――proclaim it there,――let them hear it who first heard the roar of the enemy’s cannon,――let them see it who saw their brothers and their sons fall on the field of Bunker Hill and in the streets of Lexington and Concord, and the very walls will cry out in its support._” Transcriber’s Notes: ――Text in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_). ――Obvious spelling inaccuracies were silently corrected.
