We conjure you, by
all that is dear, by all that is sacred; we beg and entreat you, as
you will answer it to your country, to your consciences, and, above all, to God
himself, that you will hasten and arrange, by all possible means, the
enlistment of men to form the army, and send them forward to headquarters at
Cambridge with that expedition which the vast importance and instant urgency of
the affair demands.
