Bunyan, John, 1628-1688

"The Holy war, made by King Shaddai upon Diabolus, for the regaining of the metropolis of the world; or, the losing and taking again of the town of Mansoul"

'
2. The next thing was, that a strict search should be made for all
kind of Diabolonians throughout the whole town of Mansoul; and that
every man's house from top to bottom should be looked into, and
that, too, house by house, that if possible a further discovery
might be made of all such among them as had a hand in these
designs.
3. It was further concluded upon, that wheresoever or with
whomsoever any of the Diabolonians were found, that even those of
the town of Mansoul that had given them house and harbour, should
to their shame, and the warning of others, take penance in the open
place.
4. It was, moreover, resolved by the famous town of Mansoul, that a
public fast, and a day of humiliation, should be kept throughout
the whole corporation, to the justifying of their Prince, the
abasing of themselves before him for their transgressions against
him, and against Shaddai, his Father. It was further resolved,
that all such in Mansoul as did not on that day endeavour to keep
that fast, and to humble themselves for their faults, but that
should mind their worldly employs, or be found wandering up and
down the streets, should be taken for Diabolonians, and should
suffer as Diabolonians for such their wicked doings.
