  Object title	England's cause to fight
  Text	"When had ever England so just a cause to fight as now? When were we at any time better acquainted with the sleights and cunning of our enemies than now? If ever, therefore, ye bare any affection to your country, if ever you would venture your lives for your fathers and mothers, your wives and children, or best deserving friends, now show yourselves like men" - Anthony Martin - 1588
