"Good
Lord, our God that art in heaven, we have great reason to thank thee
for the many favors we have received at thy hands, the many battles
we have won.
"There is the great and glorious battle of King's Mountain, where
we kilt the great Gineral Ferguson and took his whole army. And the
great battles of Ramsours's and at Williamson's. And the ever-memorable
and glorious battle of Coopens, where we made the proud Gineral Tarleton
run doon the road helter-skelter, and, Good Lord, if ye had na suffered
the cruel Tories to burn Billy Hill's Iron Works, we would na have asked
any mair favors at thy hands. Amen."
