But when the captains saw that the Prince was come, and that he fell upon the Diabolonians on the other side, and that Captain Credence and his Highness had got them up betwixt them, they shouted, (they so shouted that the ground rent again,) saying, ’The sword of Emmanuel, and the shield of Captain Credence!’ Now, when Diabolus saw that he and his forces were so hard beset by the Prince and his princely army, what does he, and the lords of the pit that were with him, but make their escape, and forsake their army, and leave them to fall by the hand of Emmanuel, and of his noble Captain Credence:  so they fell all down slain before them, before the Prince, and before his royal army; there was not left so much as one doubter alive; they lay spread upon the ground dead men, as one would spread dung upon the land.

When the battle was over, all things came into order in the camp.  Then the captains and elders of Mansoul came together to salute Emmanuel, while without the corporation:  so they saluted him, and welcomed him, and that with a thousand welcomes, for that he was come to the borders of Mansoul again.  So he smiled upon them, and said, ‘Peace be to you.’  Then they addressed themselves to go to the town; they went then to go up to Mansoul, they, the Prince, with all the new forces that now he had brought with him to the war.  Also all the gates of the town were set open for his reception, so glad were they of his blessed return.  And this was the manner and order of this going of his into Mansoul: 

First.  As I said, all the gates of the town were set open, yea, the gates of the castle also; the elders, too, of the town of Mansoul placed themselves at the gates of the town, to salute him at his entrance thither:  and so they did; for, as he drew near, and approached towards the gates, they said, ’Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.’  And they answered again, ’Who is the King of glory?’ and they made return to themselves, ’The Lord, strong and mighty; the Lord mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors,’ etc.

Secondly.  It was ordered also, by those of Mansoul, that all the way from the town gates to those of the castle, his blessed Majesty should be entertained with the song, by them that had the best skill in music in all the town of Mansoul:  then did the elders, and the rest of the men of Mansoul, answer one another as Emmanuel entered the town, till he came at the castle gates, with songs and sound of trumpets, saying, ’They have seen thy goings, O God; even the goings of my God, my King, in the sanctuary.  So the singers went before, the players on instruments followed after, and among them were the damsels playing on timbrels.’
