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]
Five Brave Captains of Immanuel
" 'The Captain of our salvation' now sets forth, but not alone. He comes with ten thousands at his feet, and with his five brave Captains. This expedition is suggestive in all its parts, and includes, within the compass of the description, the whole plan of salvation as revealed and wrought out in Christ."[2]
