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"

' So they went to the fountain that was set open
for Judah and Jerusalem to wash in; and there they washed, and
there they made their 'garments white,' and came again to the
Prince into the castle, and thus they stood before him.
And now there was music and dancing throughout the whole town of
Mansoul, and that because their Prince had again granted to them
his presence and the light of his countenance; the bells also did
ring, and the sun shone comfortably upon them for a great while
together.
The town of Mansoul did also now more thoroughly seek the
destruction and ruin of all remaining Diabolonians that abode in
the walls, and the dens that they had in the town of Mansoul; for
there was of them that had, to this day, escaped with life and limb
from the hand of their suppressors in the famous town of Mansoul.
But my Lord Willbewill was a greater terror to them now than ever
he had been before; forasmuch as his heart was yet more fully bent
to seek, contrive, and pursue them to the death; he pursued them
night and day, and did put them now to sore distress, as will
afterwards appear.
