Which excerpt from Queen Elizabeth's Address to the Troops at Tilbury shares the common purpose of persuading her audience that she is willing to do what is best for England?

We have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety to take heed how we commit our selves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery.

I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die among you all.

I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too.

By your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of God, of my kingdoms, and of my people.

The excerpt is as written below:

Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself, that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good will of my subjects, and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle, to live or die among you all, to lay down for my God, and for my kingdoms, and for my people, my honour, and my blood, even in the dust.

The excerpt signifies her emotional appeal to the troops as well as her persuading and statement to do all what it takes for the best of England.
