And not many days after he provided for his journey, and went
towards Hell-Gate Hill, into the country where the Doubters were,
where he heard of all that had been talked of in Mansoul, and he
perceived also that Diabolus was almost ready for his march, etc.
So he came back with speed, and, calling the captains and elders of
Mansoul together, he told them where he had been, what he had
heard, and what he had seen. Particularly, he told them that
Diabolus was almost ready for his march, and that he had made old
Mr. Incredulity, that once brake prison in Mansoul, the, general of
his army; that his army consisted all of Doubters, and that their
number was above twenty thousand. He told, moreover, that Diabolus
did intend to bring with him the chief princes of the infernal pit,
and that he would make them chief captains over his Doubters. He
told them, moreover, that it was certainly true that several of the
black den would, with Diabolus, ride reformades to reduce the town
of Mansoul to the obedience of Diabolus, their prince.
He said, moreover, that he understood by the Doubters, among whom
he had been, that the reason why old Incredulity was made general
of the whole army, was because none truer than he to the tyrant;
and because he had an implacable spite against the welfare of the
town of Mansoul.
