Then again they fell to it
afresh; and now it was but a little while more but Emmanuel and
Captain Credence met, still trampling down the slain as they came.
But when the captains saw that the Prince was come, and that he
fell upon the Diabolonians on the other side, and that Captain
Credence and his Highness had got them up betwixt them, they
shouted, (they so shouted that the ground rent again,) saying, 'The
sword of Emmanuel, and the shield of Captain Credence!' Now, when
Diabolus saw that he and his forces were so hard beset by the
Prince and his princely army, what does he, and the lords of the
pit that were with him, but make their escape, and forsake their
army, and leave them to fall by the hand of Emmanuel, and of his
noble Captain Credence: so they fell all down slain before them,
before the Prince, and before his royal army; there was not left so
much as one doubter alive; they lay spread upon the ground dead
men, as one would spread dung upon the land.
When the battle was over, all things came into order in the camp.
Then the captains and elders of Mansoul came together to salute
Emmanuel, while without the corporation: so they saluted him, and
welcomed him, and that with a thousand welcomes, for that he was
come to the borders of Mansoul again.
