Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Captain Credence

"Captain CREDENCE (of whom more by-and-by). He and his attendants represent Faith, as opposed to INCREDULITY, who reigns within; and this believing Faith is supported by the Promises, all of which are guaranteed by blood (the red colors)—the blood of the “Holy Lamb;” and protected by the golden shield—”the shield of Faith.” Without Faith Christ cannot be received into the soul."[2]
