Here is a description of the single page on which The Zealous Soldier is printed. At the top is an image of a fully armoured knightly(?)-looking figure. Plumed helmet; large sword brandished above in his left hand; right holding to the fore a shield with the interesting image of what appears to be the hind quarters of three lions – three lions rampant have appeared on the English/Great Brit coat of arms since about 1200. But … on the Zealous Soldier’s shield we don’t get the full three lions, just the tail, hind legs and most of the body but not the forelegs and head. So the English lions have been decapitated in this image, and this some years before Charles I was beheaded in January 1649. There is a decorated border (botanic themes) all around the outer edges of the page. On the left of the page the vertical border seems to be crowned thistles (Scotland?), on the right hand side crowned roses (England?), along the base there seems to be a string of acorns(??), and on the top of the page there is a row of fleur de lis and immediately under them a generic floral strip. The same generic floral strip runs down the middle of the page, separating verses 1 to V on the left from verses VI to X on the right. The image of the soldier does not look at all like a Parliamentary soldier in Cromwell’s New Modelled Army, but rather seems to be an old-fashioned image taken from a printer’s stock of “a military man.”
