TALISMAN FOR WAR AND BATTLE.

[Illustration]

This Talisman, which is to be made of highly tempered steel, bears on it

the powerful words, and also the awful sign, which were conveyed to the

Emperor Constantine from heaven, in daylight, and in the presence of his

whole army, and whereby he was victorious in battle. It is to be tied

around the sword arm.

An ancient manuscript says of it, “He that beareth this sign about him,

shall be helpen in every need and necessity.”
