go forth with the old Brandenburg motto:
"vertrau auf Gott. dch TAPER wehr
DARN besteht define game chr
DEM wer auf Gott herzshaftig wagt,
MIri niIuner der Welt getarf'

''yeftrau aus Gott. dich TAPER wehr
DARN besteht define game chr
DEM wer auf Gott herzshaftig wast,

'The flags which here float above you go
under fire. for the first time See that You
bring them back to me clean and stainless
and without a spot. My thanks my prayers
and nv solicitude go with you"
The following is a free adaptation of the

Trust in God stand brave
This is the whole of thy honorable duty.
For who helped by God dares battle heartily
Is driven from the world
