The Holy War – John Bunyan

Now when they were taken, had before the Prince, and examined, he
found them to be of three several counties, though they all came out of one
land.
1. One sort of them came out of Blindmanshire, and they were such as
did ignorantly what they did (1 Tim 1:13-15; Matt 5:44).
2. Another sort of them came out of Blindzealshire, and they did

tongues before him for anguish and madness, because they could not have
their will upon Mansoul (Rev 9:20,21). Now these last, with all those of the
other two sorts that did not unfeignedly ask pardon for their faults, those he
made to enter into sufficient bond to answer for what they had done against
Mansoul and against her King, at the great and general assizes to be holden
