dc.description | The hymn celebrates the Battle of Preston (1648), which ended with a victory of the Parliamentarians under the command of Oliver Cromwell over the Royalists and Scots led by the Duke of Hamilton during the Second English Civil War. It is noted in what seems a calligraphic hand of Sir William Dugdale (1605-1686), an antiquary, herald and Royalist. Dugdale credits John Roe as the composer, however, the identity of this John Roe is difficult to ascertain. The hymn has 17-strophe with the last being supposedly incomplete. Created by encoding transcription from manuscript: Anon.

The exception to this are the symbols used before each stanza as there is no written meaning only the visual. This can be seen in the images provided. Where the text was too illegible to be able to read, this has been indicated with the use of [...]. |
