THE HOLY WAR MADE BY SHADDAI UPON

DIABOLUS, FOR THE REGAINING OF THE

METROPOLIS OF THE WORLD; or, The

Losing and Taking again of the Town of Mansoul.

Advertisement by the Editor.....

Poetical Preface to the Reader by the Author........... 251

This Work was originally published in the form of
a continuous narrative; but, to enable the reader
more readily to pause and reflect, the Editor has
ventured to adopt the plan, first introduced by Mr.
Burder, of dividing it into chapters.

CHAP. I. The original beauty and splendour of Man-
soul under Shaddai; her noble castle; five gates;
perfection of the inhabitants, the origin of Diabolus;
his pride and fall; his revenge; council of war to
reduce the town; Diabolus approaches Eye-gate; his
oration; Captain Resistance slain; My Lord Inno-

cence killed; the town taken.......

CHAP. II. Diabolus occupies the castle; deposes the

Lord Mayor, Mr. Understanding, and a wall erected

to darken his house; Mr. Conscience the Recorder

put out of office; very obnoxious to Diabolus and the

inhabitants; Mr. Lord-will-be-will heartily espouses

the cause of Diabolus, and is made the principal

governor; the image of Shaddai defaced, and that of

Diabolus set up; Mr. Lustings made Lord Mayor:

Mr. Forget-good, Recorder; new Aldermen appointed

-Messrs. Incredulity, Haughty, Swearing, Whoring,

Hard-heart, Pityless, Fury, No-truth, Stand-to-lies,

False-peace, Drunkenness, Cheating, and Atheism;

three strongholds built-Defiance, Midnight-hold,

and Sweet-sin-hold......

CHAP. III. The Revolution known to king Shaddai;
his resentment against Diabolus; his gracious inten-

tion of restoring Mansoul; intimations published, but

suppressed by Diabolus; his artifices to secure the

town and prevent its return to Shaddai.......................

CHAP. IV. Shaddai sends an army of 40,000 spiritual
energies to reduce Mansoul, under the command of
Captains Boanerges, Conviction, Judgment, and
Execution, who address the inhabitants powerfully,
but with little effect; Diabolus, Incredulity, Ill-

pause, and others, interfere to prevent submission;

Prejudice defends Ear-gate, with a guard of sixty

deaf men....

CHAP. V. The Captains give battle to the town, which
resolutely resists; they retire to winter quarters;
Tradition, Human Wisdom, and Man's Invention,
enlist under Boanerges; they are taken prisoners,
and join Diabolus under Captain Anything; hostili-

ties are renewed, and the town much molested; a

famine and mutiny in Mansoul; a parley; proposi-

tions made and rejected; Understanding and Con-

science quarrel with Incredulity; a skirmish......... 276

CHAP. VI. Lord Understanding and Mr. Conscience

imprisoned; the besieging officers petition Shaddai

for a reinforcement; it is approved; Emmanuel, the

king's son, is appointed to conquer the town; marches

with a great army, and surrounds Mansoul, which is

strongly fortified against him........

CHAP. VII. Emmanuel prepares for war against Man-
soul; Diabolus sends Loth-to-stoop with proposals
for peace, which are rejected; he proposes to patch
up a peace by outward reformation, offering to become

Emmanuel's deputy, this also rejected; preparations

for battle; Diabolus injures the town; Ear-gate

assaulted, gives way; Emmanuel's forces enter the

town, and take possession of the Recorder's house;

several Diabolonians killed.........

CHAP. VIII. The principal inhabitants hold a con-

ference, and agree to petition the prince for their

lives; the castle gates broke open; triumphal entry

of Emmanuel; Diabolus is bound in chains; the in-

habitants, in great misery, petition again and again;

a free pardon is published, and universal joy succeeds 296

CHAP. IX. The liberated prisoners return to Mansoul

with great joy; the inhabitants request Emmanuel

to reside among them; he makes a triumphal entry

amid the shouts of the people; the town is new-

modelled, and the image of Shaddai again erected... 304

CHAP. X. The strongholds of Diabolus destroyed; the
great Diabolonians tried, condemned, and executed,
to Mansoul's great joy.

CHAP. XI. Experience is made an officer; the charter

renewed and enlarged, with special privileges; minis-

try established; Mr. Conscience the preacher, his

duties and rewards specified; the inhabitants are

clad in white; receive many distinguishing favours

from the prince; God's peace appointed to rule; the

unexampled felicity of the town....

CHAP. XII. Carnal-security prevails; Emmanuel pri-

vately withdrawing, Godly-fear detects it, and excites

the people to destroy Carnal-security; they try to

induce Emmanuel to return......

CHAP. XIII. The Diabolonians take courage; plots are

formed to re-conquer Mansoul; vices, under virtuous

names, are introduced, and do immense mischief;

and 20,000 Doubters are raised to surprise the town 330

CHAP. XIV. Mr. Prywell discovers the plot; prepara-

tions for defence; more Diabolonians executed; the

Doubters assault Ear-gate, but are repulsed; the

townsmen will not parley; flattery tried in vain ;

Jolly, Griggish, Gripe, and Rakeall, executed; Any-

thing and Loosefoot imprisoned.....

CHAP. XV. Mansoul makes a rash sortie by night and
is worsted; Diabolus attacks Feel-gate, which he
forces, and Doubters possess the town, doing incre-
dible mischief; Mansoul petitions Emmanuel, and
Credence is appointed Lord Lieutenant.........
CHAP. XVI. A new plot laid to ruin the town, by riches
and prosperity; Emmanuel appears to assist Man-
soul; the army of Doubters routed; he enters the
town amidst the joyful acclamations of the inhabi-
tants......

CHAP. XVII. A new army of bloodmen or persecutors

attack the town, but are taken by Faith and

Patience; the principal Doubters tried, convicted,

and executed.....

CHAP. XVIII. More Diabolonians condemned; Em-
manuel's admirable speech to Mansoul..........

Pilgrim's Progress. Printed and sold by William

Marshall, at the Bable, in Newgate Street, where you

may have Dr. Owen's, and Mr. Bunyan's Works.

This curious and rare copper-plate engraving, on

a large sheet, was published in 1663; soon after
the author was first sent to prison, the profits pro-
bably assisted in maintaining his family. It is now
engraved from an original impression in 1691, at
which time the words, "Author of The Pilgrim's
Progress," and the publishers' names, were added.
It has never been re-published in any edition of
Bunyan's Whole Works, until the present complete
series. It commences with a symbol of the Trinity;
on the one side is the line of grace, from election, by
every step of the ascent to eternal glory; and, on the
other, in a darker shade, the road from reprobation
to eternal ruin. The whole is interspersed with
poetry.

THE BARREN FIG-TREE; or, The Doom and

the Downfall of the Fruitless Professor: showing

that the day of grace may be passed with him long

before his life is ended-the signs also by which such

miserable mortals may be known. A treatise founded

upon Luke xiii, 6–9.,

TEXT-Rev. xxii. 1-The divisions. First, The subject
matter. Second, The quantity of this water, "a
river." Third, Its source, the throne of God.
Fourth, Its quality, pure and clear as crystal.
The Spirit of grace compared to water.....
The greatness and abundance of the Water of Life;
what a river this is, and inferences to be drawn from
the term RIVER.. .......

551

The head or well-spring of the water of life............... 515
The nature and quality of this water; pure, clear; no
grudge or upbraiding in it; comes from God's very
heart; mighty beyond conception; no fear of excess
or of surfeiting here; the chiefest good, the highest
good; conduct influenced by doctrines.....
The application of the whole; this water of life excel-
lent in nature, abundant in quantity, has a glorious
head-spring, and a singularly good quality; therefore
ought to be abundantly used; bless God for provid-
ing it, and test all doctrines by it...............

A MAP, showing the Order and Causes of Salvation

and Damnation. By John Bunyan, Author of The

LIFE AND DEATH OF MR. BADMAN.

Advertisement by the Editor.-The Life and Death of
Mr. Badman supposed by some to have been intended
as a third part of The Pilgrim's Progress; being
the downward road of a sinner to eternal misery; his
setting out; miserable career; wretched in the grati-
fication of the basest passions, and awfully impeni-
tent in death........

Five curious and interesting illustrations of the form

and manner in which the Life of Badman was first

published, being facsimiles of the engravings that

accompanied the first edition..........

The Author to the Reader

CHAP. I. Badman's death and its evil consequences.... 593

This leads to the discourse of his life.

CHAP. II. Badman's wicked behaviour in childhood;

original sin is the root of actual transgression; Bad-

man addicted to lying from a child; a lie knowingly

told demonstrates a desperately hard heart; the

liar's portion; an example for liars; a spirit of lying

accompanied with other sins; Badman given to pil-

fer, and would rob his father; more knit to his com-

panions than either father or mother, and would

rejoice to think of their death; counted thieving no

great matter; the story of Old Tod; Badman could

not abide the Lord's day; given to swearing and

cursing; examples of God's anger against them

that swear; a grievous thing to bring up children

wickedly.

CHAP. III. Badman put to be an apprentice to a pious

master; had all advantages to be good, but continued

Badman still; all good things abominable to him;

how he used to behave at sermons; the desperate

words of H. S.; Badman's acquaintances; he becomes

a frequenter of taverns; his master's purse pays for

his drunkenness; a caution for masters; Badman

becomes addicted to uncleanness; what evils attend

this sin; Badman and his master abhor one another;

Badman runs away from him................ ..........

CHAP. IV. Badman gets a new master as bad as him-

self; a sign and demonstration of God's anger against

Badman; masters should beware what servants they

entertain; Badman and his master cannot agree,

and why; could bear the last master's reproof better

than he could the first; by what means he came to

be completed in wickedness; out of his time, and

goes home to his father............

CHAP. V. Badman in business; the tricks of a wicked

tradesman; sets up for himself, and is almost as soon

set down again; the reason of his running out; new

companions; bad temper; his behaviour under his

decays......

we must use good conscience in buying; charity

must be used in our dealings; we should have an eye

to the glory of God in all our transactions; Badman

used to laugh at those that told him of his faults..... 637

CHAP. XI. Instructions for righteous dealing; how to

live in the practice of this; we ought to beware of

our own and our neighbour's hurt; a judgment of

God..........

CHAP. XII. Badman's pride, atheism, infidelity, and

envy; of pride in general; it sticks close to nature;

two sorts of pride; signs of a proud man; professors

guilty of the sin of pride; a stumbling-block to the

world; why it is in such request; evil effects of

pride; a general character of Badman, and brief

relation of his ways; his judgment of the Scriptures;

an angry, envious man; whence envy flows; some

of the births of envy; a rare thing.............

CHAP. XIII. Badman in some trouble of mind; he gets

drunk and breaks his leg; it has no good effect upon

him; how many sins accompany drunkenuess; an

open stroke; God's judgments upon drunkards;

Clark's Looking-Glass for Sinners; Badman falls

sick..........

CHAP. XIV. His pretended repentings and promises of

reform when death stares him in the face; his con-

science wounded, and he cries out in his sickness; his

atheism will not help him now; a dreadful example

of God's anger; what Badman did more when he

was sick; great alteration in him; the town-talk of

his change; his wife comforted; he recovers, and

returns to his old course....

CHAP. XV. Death leaves Badman for a season, and he

returns to his sins like a sow that has been washed

to her wallowing in the mire; ignorant physicians

kill souls while they cure bodies; the true symptoms

of conversion wanting in all Badman's sense of sin,

and desires of mercy; of sick-bed repentance, and

that it is to be suspected; a sign of the desperate-

ness of man's heart..

CHAP. XVI. Badman's wife's heart is broken; her
Christian speech, and talk to her friends and her
husband; he diverts her discourse; her speech to her
children that were rude; to her darling child who
followed her ways; her death; one of her children
converted by her dying words.............

CHAP. XVII. Badman's base language; he is tricked

into a second marriage by a woman as bad as him-

self; what she was, and how they lived; he is pun-

ished in his second wife for his bad carriages towards

his first; he is not at all the better; none did pity

him for his sorrow, but looked upon it as a just

reward..
