Grand Lod &c l appear before you

very walls thereof, and by blast

ibugle call, there would SOON appear
upon the walls or battlements num-
Der of the beseiged +; to them he would

defiance into the very teeth of those
without, the knights would be by
subdivision placed in position, the
assault sounded, then woe to the van.
