sensual sow, by the hand of Mr. No-Truth.

When he had destroyed what law and good orders he could, then
further to effect his design, namely, to alienate Mansoul from
Shaddai her King, he commands, and they set up his own vain edicts,
statutes, and commandments, in all places of resort or concourse in
Mansoul, to wit, such as gave liberty to the lusts of the flesh,
the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life, which are not of
Shaddai, but of the world. He encouraged, countenanced, and
promoted lasciviousness, and all ungodliness there. Yea, much more
did Diabolus to encourage wickedness in the town of Mansoul; he
promised them peace, content, joy, and bliss, in doing his
commands, and that they should never be called to an account for
their not doing the contrary. And let this serve to give a taste
to them that love to hear tell of what is done beyond their
knowledge afar off in other countries.

Now Mansoul being wholly at his beck, and brought wholly to his
bow, nothing was heard or seen therein but that which tended to set
up him.

But now he, having disabled the Lord Mayor and Mr. Recorder from
bearing of office in Mansoul, and seeing that the town, before he
came to it, was the most ancient of corporations in the world, and
fearing, if he did not maintain greatness, they at any time should
object that he had done them an injury; therefore, I say, (that
they might see that he did not intend to lessen their grandeur, or
to take from them any of their advantageous things,) he did choose
for them a Lord Mayor and a Recorder himself, and such as contented
them at the heart, and such also as pleased him wondrous well.
