"All the World knows a Christian's Life is a Warfare. From the Moment we name the Name of Christ, become His Disciples, we engage with the Flesh, the World, and the Devil, in a Combat..." The Artillery Company is comprised of true Christian heroes: "From You, as from a Nursery, our Land is ever to be supplied with Officers perfectly skill'd in the Art of War, and who shall train up our Forces to an Expertness in military Exercise equal to any of his Britanic Majesty's: This, under God, will be the best Defence of our Land."
Reverend Walter was Pastor of the Second Church of Christ in Roxbury. He was Chaplain of Colonel Richmond's regiment in the Louisburg expedition.
