About the flag

The Gostelowe Standard No 10 on page 192 of Richardson's Standards and Colors of the American Revolution. Someone pointed out to me that one of the Gostelowe flags had sold at an auction a few years ago and the stars in the canton were different than the speculative drawing in the book.
The ribbon on the flag reads "Resistance to Tyrants is Obedience to God".

This flag is similar to the Bedford Massachusetts Militia flag in that they both have in common the emblem, an arm holding aloft a sword. This is a common one in European heraldry during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and is certainly not unique to the Bedford Flag.
