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"

They also were buried as is afore
related, to the exceeding great joy of the now famous town of
Mansoul. They that buried them buried also with them their arms,
which were cruel instruments of death: (their weapons were arrows,
darts, mauls, firebrands, and the like). They buried also their
armour, their colours, banners, with the standard of Diabolus, and
what else soever they could find that did but smell of a
Diabolonian doubter.
Now when the tyrant had arrived at Hell-Gate Hill, with his old
friend Incredulity, they immediately descended the den, and having
there with their fellows for a while condoled their misfortune and
great loss that they sustained against the town of Mansoul, they
fell at length into a passion, and revenged they would be for the
loss that they sustained before the town of Mansoul. Wherefore
they presently call a council to contrive yet further what was to
be done against the famous town of Mansoul; for their yawning
paunches could not wait to see the result of their Lord Lucifer's
and their Lord Apollyon's counsel that they had given before; for
their raging gorge thought every day, even as long as a short for
ever, until they were filled with the body and soul, with the flesh
and bones, and with all the delicates of Mansoul.
