　　Sothisarmyoffive—and—twentythousandstrongwas，bytheirgeneral，thegreatLordIncredulity，ledupagainstthetownofMansoul。NowMr。Prywell，thescoutmaster—general，didhimselfgoouttospy，andhedidbringMansoultidingsoftheircoming。Whereforetheyshutuptheirgates，andputthemselvesinapostureofdefenceagainstthesenewDiaboloniansthatcameupagainstthetown。
　　SoDiabolusbroughtuphisarmy，andbeleagueredthetownofMansoul;thedoubterswereplacedaboutFeel—gate，andtheblood—mensetdownbeforeEye—gateandEar—gate。

　　Whereforetheseblood—menhereservedwhilenowthattheymight，whenallhisenginesprovedineffectual，ashislastandsurecardbeplayedagainstthetownofMansoul。
　　Now，whenthetownsmenhadreceivedthisred—hotsummons，itbegatinthematpresentsomechangingandinterchangingthoughts;buttheyjointlyagreed，inlessthanhalfanhour，tocarrythesummonstothePrince，thewhichtheydidwhentheyhadwritatthebottomofit，’Lord，saveMansoulfrombloodymen！’
　　Sohetookit，andlookeduponit，andconsideredit，andtooknoticealsoofthatshortpetitionthatthemenofMansoulhadwrittenatthebottomofit，andcalledtohimthenobleCaptainCredence，andbidhimgoandtakeCaptainPatiencewithhim，andgoandtakecareofthatsideofMansoulthatwasbeleagueredbytheblood—men。Sotheywentanddidastheywerecommanded:theCaptainCredencewentandtookCaptainPatience，andtheybothsecuredthatsideofMansoulthatwasbesiegedbytheblood—men。
　　ThenhecommandedthatCaptainGood—hopeandCaptainCharity，andmyLordWillbewill，shouldtakechargeoftheothersideofthetown。’AndI，’saidthePrince，’willsetmystandarduponthebattlementsofyourcastle，anddoyouthreewatchagainstthedoubters。’Thisdone，heagaincommandedthatthebravecaptain，theCaptainExperience，shoulddrawuphismeninthemarket—place，andthatthereheshouldexercisethemdaybydaybeforethepeopleofthetownofMansoul。
　　Nowthissiegewaslong，andmanyafierceattemptdidtheenemy，especiallythosecalledtheblood—men，makeuponthetownofMansoul;andmanyashrewdbrushdidsomeofthetownsmenmeetwithfromthem，especiallyCaptainSelf—Denial，who，Ishouldhavetoldyoubefore，wascommandedtotakethecareofEar—gateandEye—gatenowagainsttheblood—men。
　　ThisCaptainSelf—Denialwasayoungman，butstout，andatownsmaninMansoul，asCaptainExperiencealsowas。AndEmmanuel，athissecondreturntoMansoul，madehimacaptainoverathousandoftheMansoulians，forthegoodofthecorporation。Thiscaptain，therefore，beinganhardyman，andamanofgreatcourage，andwillingtoventurehimselfforthegoodofthetownofMansoul，wouldnowandthensallyoutupontheblood—men，andgivethemmanynotablealarms，andenteredseveralbriskskirmisheswiththem，andalsodidsomeexecutionuponthem;butyoumustthinkthatthiscouldnoteasilybedone，buthemustmeetwithbrusheshimself，forhecarriedseveraloftheirmarksinhisface;yea，andsomeinsomeotherpartsofhisbody。
　　So，aftersometimespentforthetrialofthefaith，andhope，andloveofthetownofMansoul，thePrinceEmmanueluponadaycallshiscaptainsandmenofwartogether，anddividesthemintotwocompanies;thisdone，hecommandsthematatimeappointed，andthatinthemorningveryearly，tosallyoutupontheenemy，saying:’Lethalfofyoufalluponthedoubters，andhalfofyoufallupontheblood—men。Thoseofyouthatgooutagainstthedoubters，killandslay，andcausetoperishsomanyofthemasbyanymeansyoucanlayhandson;butforyouthatgooutagainsttheblood—men，slaythemnot，buttakethemalive。’
　　So，atthetimeappointed，betimesinthemorning，thecaptainswentoutastheywerecommanded，againsttheenemies。CaptainGood—Hope，CaptainCharity，andthosethatwerejoinedwiththem，asCaptainInnocentandCaptainExperience，wentoutagainstthedoubters;andCaptainCredence，andCaptainPatience，withCaptainSelf—Denial，andtherestthatweretojoinwiththem，wentoutagainsttheblood—men。
　　Now，thosethatwentoutagainstthedoubtersdrewupintoabodybeforetheplain，andmarchedontobidthembattle。
　　Butthedoubters，rememberingtheirlastsuccess，madearetreat，notdaringtostandtheshock，butfledfromthePrince’smen;whereforetheypursuedthem，andintheirpursuitslewmany，buttheycouldnotcatchthemall。Nowthosethatescapedwentsomeofthemhome;andtherestbyfives，nines，andseventeens，likewanderers，wentstragglingupanddownthecountry，wheretheyuponthebarbarouspeopleshowedandexercisedmanyoftheirDiabolonianactions:nordidthesepeopleriseupinarmsagainstthem，butsufferedthemselvestobeenslavedbythem。TheywouldalsoafterthisshowthemselvesincompaniesbeforethetownofMansoul，butnevertoabideinit;forifCaptainCredence，CaptainGood—Hope，orCaptainExperiencedidbutshowthemselves，theyfled。
　　Thosethatwentoutagainsttheblood—mendidastheywerecommanded:theyforboretoslayany，butsoughttocompassthemabout。Buttheblood—men，whentheysawthatnoEmmanuelwasinthefield，concludedalsothatnoEmmanuelwasinMansoul;whereforethey，lookinguponwhatthecaptainsdidtobe，astheycalledit，afruitoftheextravagancyoftheirwildandfoolishfancies，ratherdespisedthemthanfearedthem。Butthecaptains，mindingtheirbusiness，atlastdidcompassthemround;theyalsothathadroutedthedoubterscameinamaintotheiraid:so，infine，aftersomelittlestruggling，（fortheblood—menalsowouldhaverunforit，onlynowitwastoolate;forthoughtheyaremischievousandcruel，wheretheycanovercome，yetallblood—menarechicken—heartedmen，whentheyoncecometoseethemselvesmatchedandequalled，）—sothecaptainstookthem，andbroughtthemtothePrince。
