The King's captains, when they marched from the court to come up against Mansoul to war, as they came crossing over the country, they happened to light upon three young fellows that had a mind to go for soldiers: proper men they were, and men of courage and skill, to appearance. Their names were Mr. Tradition, Mr. Human- Wisdom, and Mr. Man's-Invention.

Man's-invention his armour-bearer. But thus much for this, and now to return to the camp. They of the camp did also some execution upon the town, for they did beat down the roof of the Lord Mayor's house, and so laid him more open than he was before. They had almost, with a sling, slain my Lord Will-be-will outright; but he made a shift to recover again.

From hence, some take occasion to deny the scriptural, soul-comforting doctrine, of the certain perseverance of God's saints unto eternal glory. Three young fellows, Mr. Tradition, Mr. Human-wisdom, and Mr. Man's-invention, proffered their services to Shaddai. The captains told them not to be rash; but, at their entreaty, they were listed into Boanerges' company, and away they went to the war.

The episode of the three volunteers who enlisted under Shaddai, into Captain Boanerges' company Tradition, Human-wisdom, and Man's-invention are inimitably beautiful. When they were aught in the rear, and taken prisoners 'as they did not live so much by religion as by the fates of fortune' they offer their services to Diabolus, and are joined to Captain Anything's company.

Receive them, therefore, in my name, and, as need shall require, make use of them against Shaddai and his men. Farewell. So they came, and he received them; and he made of two of them sergeants; but he made Mr. Man's-Invention his ancient-bearer. But thus much for this, and now to return to the camp.
