もう一度やってみるようにと彼を励ましなさい。 I'm confused by the usage of と here.
もう一度やってみるように彼を励ましなさい。would be translated as "in order to make him try one more
time, please encourage him" but with と I'm not sure how it'd be translated.

question
grammar word-choice particles
もう一度やってみるように+と what's the purpose of it?
> もう一度{いちど}やってみるように **と** 彼{かれ}を励{はげ}ましなさい。

＝

> 『もう一度やってみるように。』 **と** 彼を励ましなさい。

The 「と」 is the quotative particle. Whenever you encounter a 「と」 that seems
difficult to understand, try putting the **preceding** phrase in quotation
marks. If that helped you comprehend the sentence, that 「と」 would be quotative
99% of the time.

Thus, the sentence means:

> Please encourage him to try to do it one more time.

or, more **_literally_** ,

> Please encourage him by saying "Try to do it one more time."

「～～ように」 as a request/order is explained here:
