But my lord took Mr. Wrong-Thoughts-of-Christ, and put him in
prison, and he died there; though it was long first, for he died of
a lingering consumption.
Self-Love was also taken and committed to custody; but there were
many that were allied to him in Mansoul, so his judgment was
deferred. But at last Mr. Self-Denial stood up, and said: 'If
such villains as these may be winked at in Mansoul, I will lay down
my commission.' He also took him from the crowd, and had him among
his soldiers, and there he was brained. But some in Mansoul
muttered at it, though none durst speak plainly, because Emmanuel
was in town. But this brave act of Captain Self-Denial came to the
Prince's ears; so he sent for him, and made him a lord in Mansoul.
My Lord Willbewill also obtained great commendations of Emmanuel,
for what he had done for the town of Mansoul.
Then my Lord Self-Denial took courage, and set to the pursuing of
the Diabolonians, with my Lord Willbewill; and they took Live-by-
Feeling, and they took Legal-Life, and put them in hold till they
died. But Mr. Unbelief was a nimble Jack: him they could never
lay hold of, though they attempted to do it often.
