The paragraph prints Article I, Section 8, Clause 14 of the Constitution as signed; the quoted words are the same as the clause's (apart from capitals and the long s), though the pamphlet's punctuation differs in places.

Federalist No. 69, ¶ 6
…nothing more than the supreme command and direction of the military and naval forces, as first General and admiral of the Confederacy; while that of the British king extends to the DECLARING of war and to the RAISING and REGULATING of fleets and armies, all which, by the Constitution under consideration, would appertain to the legislature.[1] The governor of New York, on the other hand, is by the constitution of the State vested only with the command of its militia and navy.
Says "the ... REGULATING of fleets and armies" would, "by the Constitution under consideration," belong to the legislature, echoing this clause's "Regulation of the land and naval Forces." Low because the grouped phrase names no clause.
