Psalms47:9

1. A shield is a merciful weapon, none more so.

2. A shield is a venturous weapon, a kind of surety, which bears the blows and receives the injuries which were intended for another.

3. A shield is a strong weapon, to repel the darts of wickedness and break them in pieces.

4. A shield is an honourable weapon, none more: taking away of shields was a sign of victory; preserving them a sign of glory.

5. Remember, a shield must ever have an eye to guide it —you the shields, the law the eye. Bishop Reynolds.
