[MuttTheHoople]

The second occasion was during the Battle of Brandywine in the Revolution. During that battle, a Major (Ferguson, I believe) of the British snipers had a senior American officer on a white horse right in his sights at close range, a sure shot he knew, but just as he was preparing to pull the trigger, he said he had an overwhelming sense telling him NOT to shoot this man. He didn't, and learned after the battle, that he could have killed Washington himself. He personally felt thereafter that it was the Lord telling him to spare Washington.

Ironically, Patrick Ferguson was killed on Kings Mountain by American snipers who had NO qualms about killing officers.

“Patrick Ferguson was killed on Kings Mountain..”

I didn’t know that. It’s sad, or perhaps the Lord decided to reward him early for obedience.
