The hearing of this is enough to ravish one's heart. But are these things to be enjoyed? How shall we get to be sharers thereof? Chr. The Lord, the governor of the country, hath recorded that in this book; the substance of which is, If we be truly willing to have it, he will bestow it upon us freely. Pli. Well, my good companion, glad am I to hear of these things: come on, let us mend our pace.

PLI. At that Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of? If we have such ill speed at our first setting out, what may we expect betwixt this and our journey's end? May I get out again with my life, you shall possess the brave country alone for me.

But consider, he is very young; all this will come in time. I hope so; but that time must be when he is young, or it will never be at all; the right 'pli' must be taken young, or it will never be easy or seem natural. I hope and believe he will do well, but I would have him do better than well. I am very well pleased with him, but I would be more, I would be proud of him.

CHR. I am directed by a man whose name is Evangelist, to speed me to a little gate that is before us, where we shall receive instructions about the way. PLI. Come then, good neighbour, let us be going. Then they went both together. OBST. And I will go back to my place, said Obstinate; I will be no companion of such misled fantastical fellows.

In a word, there we shall see the elders with their golden crowns; there we shall see the holy virgins with their golden harps; there we shall see men that by the world were cut in pieces, burned in flames, eaten of beasts, drowned in the sea for the love they bare to the Lord of the place; all well and clothed with immortality as with a garment. Pli.

Well, neighbor Obstinate, said Pliable, I begin to come to a point; I intend to go along with this good man, and to cast in my lot with him: but, my good companion, do you know the way to this desired place?

Well, my good companion, glad am I to hear of these things; come on, let us mend our pace. CHR. I cannot go so fast as I would, by reason of this burden that is on my back.

What things are they? PLI. Well said. And what else? CHR. There are crowns of glory to be given us, and garments that will make us shine like the sun in the firmament of Heaven! PLI. This is very pleasant. And what else? PLI. And what company shall we have there? CHR. There we shall be with seraphims, and Cherubims, creatures that will dazzle your eyes to look on them.

Be ruled by me, and go back; who knows whither such a brain-sick fellow will lead you? Go back, go back, and be wise. PLI. Well, neighbour Obstinate, saith Pliable, I begin to come to a point; I intend to go along with this good man, and to cast in my lot with him. But, my good companion, do you know the way to this desired place?
