5. It was further concluded then, that with what speed, and with
what warmth of mind they could, they would renew their humiliation
for sin, and their petitions to Shaddai for help; they also
resolved, to send tidings to the court of all that Mr. Prywell had
told them.
6. It was also determined, that thanks should be given by the town
of Mansoul to Mr. Prywell, for his diligent seeking of the welfare
of their town: and further, that forasmuch as he was so naturally
inclined to seek their good, and also to undermine their foes, they
gave him a commission of scout-master-general, for the good of the
town of Mansoul.
When the corporation, with their captains, had thus concluded, they
did as they had said; they shut up their gates, they made for
Diabolonians strict search, they made those with whom any were
found to take penance in the open place: they kept their fast, and
renewed their petitions to their Prince, and Mr. Prywell managed
his charge and the trust that Mansoul had put in his hands, with
great conscience and good fidelity; for he gave himself wholly up
to his employ, and that not only within the town, but he went out
to pry, to see, and to hear.
