Mr. Reasons

Captain Innocency quartered at Mr. Reason's.[3]

"INNOCENCE in the reasoning part—the place of intention and forethought."[2]

Mr. Harmless

Standard-bearer for Captain Innocent.[3]

Captain Innocent

"Captain INNOCENT represents a further characteristic of Christ and of his people. “Harmless as doves” is part of the Christian character, as indicated on the escutcheon and virgin-white colors of this brave Captain."[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]
