Corruption was his standard-bearer, and he had for his scutcheon a
skull, and dead men's bones.
9. The ninth captain was Captain Past-Hope; he was captain of those
that are called the felicity doubters; his standard-bearer was Mr.
Despair; his also were the red colours, and his scutcheon was a hot
iron and the hard heart.
These were his captains, and these were their forces, these were
their standards, these were their colours, and these were their
scutcheons. Now, over these did the great Diabolus make superior
captains, and they were in number seven: as, namely, the Lord
Beelzebub, the Lord Lucifer, the Lord Legion, the Lord Apollyon,
the Lord Python, the Lord Cerberus, and the Lord Belial; these
seven he set over the captains, and Incredulity was lord-general,
and, Diabolus was king. The reformades also, such as were like
themselves, were made some of them captains of hundreds, and some
of them captains of more. And thus was the army of Incredulity
completed.
So they set out at Hell-Gate Hill, for there they had their
rendezvous, from whence they came with a straight course upon their
march toward the town of Mansoul.
