Prov.21:31
"The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD. "

"In 1731 the situation grew so grave, with daring Maroons actually mounting formal assaults on sugar plantations, that the white planters decided on a drastic counterattack, and launched a major campaign against the mountain robbers. Each plantation was required to contribute arms, money and especially white men or trusted blacks to a militia formed to chastise the renegades. As expected, the distinguished Trevelyan Plantation north of the capital, Spanish Town, contributed many arms, much ammunition and a captain for the force, Sir Hugh Pembroke. He was forty-six that year, military in bearing, his slim form showing to good advantage in the uniform of an English regiment. A descendant of that bold young Officer Pembroke who had suggested to Admiral Penn in 1655 ‘Since the Spanish have thrown us out of Hispaniola, why don’t we throw them out of Jamaica?’—thus adding this fine island to the empire—Sir Hugh loved politics and was an important member of Parliament in London."~~~James A. Michener: CARIBBEAN: Ch.7 The Sugar Interest
