Another that was wounded was the brave Lord Mayor; he was wounded
in the eye. Another that was wounded was Mr. Mind; he received his
wound about the stomach. The honest subordinate preacher also, he
received a shot not far off the heart but none of these were
mortal.
Many also of the inferior sort were not only wounded but slain
outright.
Now, in the camp of Diabolus were wounded and slain a considerable
number; for instance, Captain Rage, he was wounded, and so was
Captain Cruel. Captain Damnation was made to retreat, and to
intrench himself further off of Mansoul. The standard also of
Diabolus was beaten down, and his standard-bearer, Captain Much-
Hurt, had his brains beat out with a sling-stone, to the no little
grief and shame of his prince Diabolus.
Many also of the doubters were slain outright, though enough of
them were left alive to make Mansoul shake and totter. Now the
victory that day being turned to Mansoul, did put great valour into
the townsmen and captains, and did cover Diabolus's camp with a
cloud, but withal it made them far more furious. So the next day
Mansoul rested, and commanded that the bells should be rung; the
trumpets also joyfully sounded, and the captains shouted round the
town.
