My Lord Willbewill also was not idle, but did notable service
within against the domestics, or the Diabolonians that were in the
town, not only by keeping them in awe, for he lighted on one at
last whose name was Mr. Anything, a fellow of whom mention was made
before; for it was he, if you remember, that brought the three
fellows to Diabolus, whom the Diabolonians took out of Captain
Boanerges's companies, and that persuaded them to list themselves
under the tyrant, to fight against the army of Shaddai. My Lord
Willbewill did also take a notable Diabolonian, whose name was
Loose-Foot: this Loose-Foot was a scout to the vagabonds in
Mansoul, and that did use to carry tidings out of Mansoul to the
camp, and out of the camp to those of the enemies in Mansoul. Both
these my lord sent away safe to Mr. True-Man, the gaoler, with a
commandment to keep them in irons; for he intended then to have
them out to be crucified, when it would be for the best to the
corporation, and most for the discouragement of the camp of the
enemies.
My Lord Mayor also, though he could not stir about so much as
formerly, because of the wound that he lately received, yet gave he
out orders to all that were the natives of Mansoul, to look to
their watch, and stand upon their guard, and, as occasion should
offer, to prove themselves men.
