Great Beelzebub, the Captain of this Fiend,
Deſign'd my ruin; therefore to this end
He ſent him harneſſ out, and he with rage

But bleſſed Michael helped me, and I
By dint of Sword did quickly make him flye
Therefore to him let me give lasting praiſe,
And thank and bleſs his holy name always.

Then there came to him an hand, with fome of the leaves of the Tree of Life, the which Chriſtian took, and applyed to the wounds that he had received in the Battel, and was healed immediately. He alſo ſat down in that place to eat Bread, and to drink of the Bottle that was given

him
