Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Mr. True-Man

The jailer of the captured Diabolonians.[3]

"The soul is now represented as dealing thoroughly with the evil and corrupt nature. Bonds and imprisonment await the lusts, and passions, and corruptions of the 'old man.' Truth, under the name of TRUE-MAN, holds watch and ward over these elements of the carnal mind, bringing the soul into subjection to the law of Christ."[2]
