Maegen, Strength, Power. A shelter from those Sufferings: Refugium, Lat. This done, in the next place he took an oath, and swore fidelity to his great master Diabolus, and then, being stated and settled in his places, offices, advancements, and preferments, oh! First, he maligned Mr. Also he could not endure that so much as a fragment of the law of Shaddai should be anywhere seen in the town. For example, his clerk, Mr. Mind, had some old, rent, and torn parch- ments of the law of good Shaddai in his house, but when Willbewill saw them, he cast them behind his back.
True, Mr. Recorder had He also thought and said, that the win- dows of my old Lord Mayor's house were always too light for the profit of the town of Mansoul. The light of a candle he could not endure.
Now nothing at all pleased Willbewill, but what pleased Diabolus, his lord. There was none like him to trumpet about the streets the brave nature, the wise conduct, and great glory of the King Diabolus. He would rano-e and rove throughout all the streets of Mansoul to cry up his illustrious lord, and would make himself even as an abject, vam thoughts.
And, I say, when and wheresoever he found these vassals, he would even make himself as one of them. In all ill courses, he would act without bidding, and do mischief without commandment. The Lord Willbewill also had a deputy under him, and his name was Mr. Affection, one that was also greatly debauched in his principles, and answerable thereto in his life : he was wholly given to the flesh, and therefore they called him Vile-Affection.
Now there was he and one Carnal-Lust, the daughter of Mr. And besides these they had three daughters, as Scorn-Truth, and Slight-God, and the name of the youngest These were all married in the town, and also begot and yielded many bad brats, too many to be here inserted. But, to pass by this. When the giant had thus engarrisoned himself in the town of Mansoul, and had put down and set up whom he thought good, he betakes himself to defacing. Now there was in the market-place in Mansoul, and also upon the gates of the castle, an image of the blessed King Shaddai.
This image was so exactly engraven, and it was engraven in gold, that it did the most resemble Shaddai him- self of anything that then was extant in the world. This he basely commanded to be defaced, and it was as basely done by the hand of Mr. Now you must know that, as Diabolus had com- manded, and that by the hand of Mr. No-Truth, the image of Shaddai was defaced, he likewise gave order that the same Mr.
No-Truth should set up in its stead the horrid and formidable image of Diabolus, to the great contempt of the former King, and debasing of his town of Mansoul. Moreover, Diabolus made havoc of all remains of the laws and statutes of Shaddai that could be found in the town of Mansoul ; to wit, such as contained either the doctrines or morals, with all civil and natural documents.
Also relative seve- rities he sought to extinguish. To be short, there was nothing of the remains of good in Mansoul which he and Willbewill sought not to destroy for their design was to turn Mansoul into a brute, and to make it like to the sensual sow, bv the hand of Mr. When he had destroyed what law and good 4 He encouraged, countenanced, and promoted lasci- viousness and all ungodliness there. Yea, much more did Diabolus to encourage wickedness in the town of Mansoul ; he promised them peace, con- tent, 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 Man- soul, 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 great- ness, 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 ad- vantageous things, he did choose for them a Lord Mayor and a Recorder himself, and such as con- tented them at the heart, and such also as pleased him wondrous well.
All that he did, whether as a man or an officer, he did it naturally, as doth the beast. And that which made him yet the more ignoble, though not to Mansoul, yet to them that beheld and were grieved for its ruin, was, that he never could favour good, but evil.
The Recorder was one whose name was Foi'sfet- Good, and a very sorry fellow he was. He could remember nothing but mischief, and to do it with delight. He was naturally prone to do things that were hurtful, even hurtful to the town of Mansoul, and to all the dwellers there.
These two, there- Tore, by their power and practice, examples, and smiles upon evil, did much more ground and settle the common people in hurtful ways. For who doth not perceive, that when those that sit aloft are vile and corrupt themselves, they corrupt the whole region and country where they are? Besides these, Diabolus made several burgesses and aldermen in Mansoul, out of whom, the town, when it needed, might choose them officer?
And these are th ' names of the chief of them : Mr. Incredulity Mr. Haughty, Mr. Swearing, Mr. Lewd, Mi Hard-Heart, Mr. Pitiless, Mr. Fury, Mr. No Truth, Mr. Stand-to-Lies, Mr.
False-Peace, Mr Drunkenness, Mr. Cheating, Mr. Atheism, — thirteen in all. Incredulity is the eldest, ant Mr. Atheism the youngest of the company. There was also an election of common council- men and others, as bailiffs, Serjeants, constables, and others ; but all of them like to those aforenamed, When the giant had thus far proceeded in his work, in the next place, he betook him to build some strongholds in the town, and he built three, that seemed to be impregnable.
The first, he called the Hold of Defiance, because it was made to command the whole town, and to keep it from the knowledge of its ancient King. The second, he called Midnight Hold, because it was built on purpose to keep Mansoul from the true know- lege of itself.
The third, was called Sweet-Sin Hold, because by that he fortified Mansoul against all desires of good. The first of these holds stood close by Eye-gate, that, as much as might be, light might be darkened there ; the second was built hard by the old castle, to the end that that might be made more blind, if possible ; and the third stood in the market-place. He that Diabolus made governor over the first of these, was one Spite-God, a most blasphemous wretch : he came with the whole rabble of them that came against Mansoul at first, and was him- self one of themselves.
He that was made the governor of Midnight Hold, was one Love-no- Lignt: he was alco of them that came first against the town. And he that was made the governor of the hold, called Sweet-Sin Hold, was one whose name was Love-Flesh : he was also a very lewd fellow, but not of that country where the others are bound.
This fellow could find more sweet- ness when he stood sucking of a lust, than he did in all the paradise of God. He had taken Mansoul, he had engarrisoned himself therein, he had put down the old officers, and had set. Now you may well think, that long before this time, word, by some or other, could not but be carried to the good King Shaddai, how his Man- soul, in the continent of Universe, was lost; and that the runagate giant Diabolus, once one of his Majesty's servants, had, in rebellion against the King, made sure thereof for himself.
Yea, tidings were carried and brought to the King thereof, and that to a very circumstance. As, first, how Diabolus came upon Mansoul they being a simple people and innocent with craft, subtlety, lies, and guile. Item, that he had treacherously slain the right noble and valiant captain, their Captain Resistance, as he stood upon the gate with the rest of the townsmen.
Item, how my brave Lord Innocent fell down dead with grief, some say, or with being poisoned with the stinking breath of one Ill-Pause, as say others at the hearing of his just lord and rightful prince, Shaddai, so abused by the mouth of so filthy a Diabolian as that varlet Ill-Pause was.
Pause had made a short oration to the townsmen in behalf of Diabolus, his master, the simple town, believing that what was said was true, with one consent did open Ear-gate, the chief gate of the corporation, and did let him, with his crew, into a possession of the famous town of Mansoul. He further showed how Diabolus had served the Lord Mayor and Mr. Recorder, to wit, that he had put them from all place of power and trust. Item, he showed also that my Lord Willbewill was turned a very rebel and runagate, and that so was one Mr.
Mind, his clerk ; and that they two did range and revel it all the town over, and teach the wicked ones their ways. He said, moreover, that this Willbewill was put into great trust, and par- ticularly, that Diabolus had put into Willbe will's hand all the strong places in Mansoul ; and that Mr. Affection was made my Lord WillbewilPs deputy, in his most rebellious affairs.
For Mayor, he has set up one Mr. Lustings ; and for Recorder, Mr. Forget-Good ; two of the vilest of all the town of Mansoul. He told, too, the which Now, this tidings-teller did not deliver his re- lation of things in private, but in open court ; the King and his Son, high lords, chief captains, and nobles, being all there present to hear. But by that mey had heard the whole of the story, it would have amazed one to have seen, had he been there 10 behold it, what sorrow and grief, and compunction of spirit, there was among all sorts, to think that famous Mansoul was now taken : only the King and his Son foresaw all this, long before, yea, and sufficiently provided for the relief of Mansoul, though they told not everybody thereof.
Yet, because they also would have a share in con- doling of the misery of Mansoul, therefore they also did, and that at a rate of the highest degree, bewail the losing of Mansoul. The King said plainly, that it grieved him at the heart, and you may be sure that his Son was not a whit behind him. Thus gave they conviction to all about them, that they had love and compassion for the famous town of Mansoul.
Son of Shaddai, I say, having stricken hands with his Father, and promised that he would be his servant to recover his Man- soul again, stood by his resolution, nor would he repent of the same. The purport of which agree- ment was this : to wit, that at a certain time, prefixed by both, the King's Son should take a journey into the country of Universe, and there, in a way of justice and equity, by making amends for the follies of Mansoul, he should lay a founda- tion of her perfect deliverance from Diabolus and from his tyranny.
Moreover, Emmanuel resolved to make, at a time convenient, a war upon the giant Diabolus, even while he was possessed of the town of Mansoul ; By the Hoiy and that he would fairly, by strength Ghost. The Foiy scrip- This now being resolved upon, order tures- was given to the Lord Chief Secretary, to draw up a fair record of what was determined, and to cause that it should be published in all the corners of the kingdom of Universe. A short breviat of the contents thereof you may, if you please, take here as follows : " Let all men know, who are concerned, that the Son of Shaddai, the great King, is engaged by First, they whispered it to one another, and after that it began to ring out through the King's palace, all wondering at the glorious design that between the King and his Son, was on foot for the misera- ble town of Mansoul.
Yea, the courtiers could scarce do anything either for the King or king- dom, but they would mix, with the doing thereof, a noise of the love of the King and his Son, that they had for the town of Mansoul.
Nor could these lords, high captains, and princes be content to keep this news at court ; yea, before the records thereof were perfected, themselves came down and told it in Universe. At last it came to the ears, as I said, of Diabolus, to his no little discontent; for you must think it would perplex him, to hear of such a design against him. Well, but after a few casts in his mind, he con- cluded upon these four things.
First, That this news, these good tidings, if I hope they are but flying stories," quoth he ; " however, let no such news by any means be let into Man- soul, lest the people be dejected thereat. Where- fore I desire, my lord, that you will, in this matter, do as I say. Let there be strong guards daily kept at every gate of the town. Stop also and examine from whence such come, that you perceive do from far come hither to trade, nor let them by any means be admitted into Mansoul, unless you shall plainly perceive that they are favourers of our excellent ah good thoughts government.
Secondly, this done, in the next place, Diabolus, that he might make Mansoul as sure as he could,, frames and imposes a new oath and horrible cove- nant upon the townsfolk : —To wit, that they should never desert him nor his government, nor yet betray him, nor seek to alter his laws ; but that they should own, confess, stand by, and ac- knowledge him for their rightful king, in defiance to any that do or hereafter shall, by any pretence, law, or title whatever, lay claim to the town of Mansoul ; thinking, belike, that Shaddai had not power to absolve them from this covenant with death and agreement with hell.
Nor did the silly Mansoul stick or boggle at all at this most monstrous engagement; but, as if it had been a sprat in the mouth of a whale, they swallowed it without any chewing. Were they troubled at it? Nay, they rather bragged and boasted of their so brave fidelity to the tyrant, their pretended king, swearing that they would never be changelings, nor forsake their old lord for a new. Thus did Diabolus tie poor Mansoul fast. Thirdly, jealousy, that never thinks itself strong enough, put him, in the next place, upon Wherefore he caused, by the hand of one Mr.
Filth, Odious atheistical. Now, this he did for these reasons : 1. That the town of Mansoul might be yet made weaker and weaker, and so more unable, should tidings come, that their redemption was designed, to believe, hope, or consent to the truth thereof; for reason says, The bigger the sinner, the less grounds of hopes of mercy. The second reason was, ifperhaps Emmanuel, the Son of Shaddai their King, by seeing the hor- rible and profane doings of the town of Mansoul, might repent though entered into a covenant of redeeming them of pursuing that covenant of their redemption ; for he knew that Shaddai was holy, and that his Son Emmanuel was holy ; yea, he knew it by woeful experience, for, for his iniquity and sin, was Diabolus cast from the Jiighest orbs.
Wherefore what more rational than for him to conclude that thus, for sin, it might fare with Mansoul? But fearing also lest this knot should break, he bethinks himself of another, to wit : Fourthly, to endeavour to possess all hearts in And this he did to forestall any tidings that might come to their ears, of their deliverance ; " for," thought he, "if 1 first bruit this, the tidings that shall come after, will all be swallowed up of this ; for what else will Mansoul say, when they shall hear that they must be delivered, but that the true meaning is, Shaddai intends to destroy them?
You know how, from the first day, that I have been with you, until now, I have behaved myself among you, and what liberty and great privileges you have en-, joyed under my government, I hope to your honour and mine, and also to your content and delight. Now, my famous Mansoul, a noise of trouble there is abroad, of trouble to the town of Mansoul ; sorry I am thereof for your sakes : for I received but now, by the post from my Lord, Lucifer, and he useth to have good intelligence, that your old King Shaddai is raising an army to come against you, to destroy you root and branch ; and this, O Mansoul, is now the cause, that at this time, I have called you together; namely, to advise what, in this juncture, is best to be done.
For my part, I am but one, and can with ease shift for myself, did I list to seek my 5 What say you, O my Mansoul? Will you now desert your old friend, o do you think of standing by me?
True, perhaps, he, at hia language. Whatever, there- fore, he shall say, believe not one syllable or tittle of it ; for all such language is but to overcome us, and to make us, while we wallow in our blood, the trophies of his merciless victory.
My mind is, therefore, that we resolve, to the last man, to resist him, and not to believe him upon any terms ; for in at that door will come our danger. But shall we be flattered out of our lives? I hope you know more of the rudiments of politics, than to suffer yourselves so pitifully to be served. And suppose, Lying language. Shall you with him live in pleasure, as you do now? All renditions of the Regina are identical in design, with the exception of the GTA San Andreas rendition, which has single headlights on either side opposed to the dual ones from the Vice City and Vice City Stories renditions and separated tail lights that have similar design to those from the Rancher.
The car retains the dual headlight setup from the Vice City and Vice City Stories renditions, but the lamps themselves are rounded, and the turning lights are moved onto the bumper. The tail lights are somewhat identical albeit smaller and features reverse circular lights on the rear bumper. The Regina now sports a combination of a primary color on the body and the secondary color on the roof normally dark grey or black , as well as a chrome roof rack. The car is largely similar to its TLAD counterpart, but with some styling differences on the front end and the hood.
The vehicle has lost its beater appearance from The Lost and Damned , and is now found in a restored condition, featuring a wooden trim on the lower portions of either side. The Regina can be found with no roof accessories or with two different roof racks: a small chrome one that occupies the rear section or a large chrome one fitted with wooden planks that occupies the entire roof.
Both of these may sometimes have various amounts of boxes and suitcases tied to it, resulting in four different variations.
Handling is sluggish, the car suffers from obvious understeer, and the brakes do a barely acceptable job of slowing the enormous chassis. The Regina is not especially sturdy, nor capable of withstanding heavy damage, and is a generally undesirable vehicle.
With a significant cosmetic change, the Regina in The Lost and Damned sports several noticeable differences in its performance. Due to its heavier weight, the car is less nimble than its predecessors, occasionally requiring the aid of the handbrake in tight corners or high speed turns. Braking power is correspondingly below average. The suspension may be insufficient on the road, as the car heavyness on the rear section will disrupt it when sorting out low obstacles such as curbs.
The car is also classified as one of the Beaters cars in GTA IV , emitting a knocking sound from the engine at high revs, occasionally taking a noticeably long time to start, and backfiring through its exhaust pipe. The Regina is powered by a high displacement V8 engine coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission in an FR layout.
The car shares its handling with the Solair , but its engine sound is the same as that of pickup trucks like the Bobcat and the Rancher. The Regina's performance across the board is poor. It has very poor acceleration, and a top speed which leaves much to be desired. Its handling is acceptable at least, but it tends to oversteer when attempting to corner at speed. Braking is poor, and has a long braking distance despite being a slow vehicle already.
Crash deformation is remarkably strong, and is able to take a few decent hits before being disabled.
The Regina has very low torque, and that means it will have major issues attempting to climb hills, and control is practically nonexistent when attempting to descent from a decent-sized hill.
