Bunyan, John, 1628-1688

"The Holy war, made by King Shaddai upon Diabolus, for the regaining of the metropolis of the world; or, the losing and taking again of the town of Mansoul"

Also, he bid him
to know, that he took it well that he had been so bold for his
Prince Emmanuel, and had engaged so faithfully in his cause against
Diabolus. He also signified, at the close of his letter, that he
should shortly receive his reward.
The second note that came out, was for the noble Lord Willbewill,
wherein there was signified:- That his Prince Emmanuel did well
understand how valiant and courageous he had been for the honour of
his Lord, now in his absence, and when his name was under contempt
by Diabolus. There was signified also, that his Prince had taken
it well that he had been so faithful to the town of Mansoul, in his
keeping of so strict a hand and eye over and so strict a rein upon
the neck of the Diabolonians, that did still lie lurking in their
several holes in the famous town of Mansoul. He signified,
moreover, how that he understood that my Lord had, with his own
hand, done great execution upon some of the chief of the rebels
there, to the great discouragement of the adverse party and to the
good example of the whole town of Mansoul; and that shortly his
lordship should have his reward.
