Badman can put his head out a doors again, and be a better man than when he shut up shop, by several thousands of pounds. ATTEN. And did he do thus indeed? WISE. Yes, once and again. I think he brake twice or thrice. ATTEN. And did he do it before he had need to do it? WISE. Need! What do you mean by need? There is no need at any time for a man to play the knave.
That every sight and sense of sin will not produce repentance, to wit, the godly repentance that we are speaking of, is manifest in Cain, Pharaoh, Saul, and Judas, who all of them had sense, great sense of sin, but none of them repentance unto life. Now I conclude that Mr. Badman did die impenitent, and so a death most miserable. ATTEN. But pray now, before we conclude our discourse of Mr.
"All such men are apt to be with tenderfeet," she remarked, permitting herself a half twinkle of her sweet eyes. "But I should have thought yours would have kept on going. Whatever you may have owed him, he had no right to steal your outfit. He must be a real badman, if it's true he is the party who did this shooting." "I shouldn't be at all surprised," agreed Ashton.
ATTEN. Well, but I wonder if young Badman's master knew him to be such a wretch, that he would suffer him in his house. WISE. They liked one another even as fire and water do. Young Badman's ways were odious to his master, and his master's ways were such as young Badman could not endure. The good man's ways, Mr.
Badman had but little conscience. WISE. This argued that Mr. Badman had no conscience at all; for conscience, the least spark of a good conscience, cannot endure this. ATTEN. Before we go any further in Mr. Badman's matters, let me desire you, if you please, to give me an answer to these two questions. 1. What do you find in the Word of God against such a practice as this of Mr. Badman's is? 2.
She marries him, and finds what she has done too late. In her fortune he has all that he wanted. He swears at her, treats her brutally, brings prostitutes into his house, laughs at her religion, and at length orders her to give it up. When she refuses, Bunyan introduces a special feature of the times, and makes Badman threaten to turn informer, and bring her favourite minister to gaol.
What think you of Mr. Badman now? ATTEN. Think! Why I can think no other but that he was a man left to himself, a naughty man; for these, as his other, were naughty things; if the tree, as indeed it may, ought to be judged, what it is, by its fruits, then Mr. Badman must needs be a bad tree.
Badman will cry for this. ATTEN. But I wonder that he should be so expert in wickedness so soon! Alas, he was but a stripling, I suppose he was as yet not twenty. ATTEN. Well, he was as wicked a young man as commonly one shall hear of. WISE. You will say so when you know all. ATTEN. All, I think, here is a great all; but if there is more behind, pray let us hear it.
Such an one is not worthy the name. Go professors, go leave off profession unless you will lead your lives according to your profession. Better never profess than make profession a stalking horse to sin, deceit, the devil, and hell. Bankruptcy was not the only art by which Badman piled up his fortune. The seventeenth century was not so far behind us as we sometimes persuade ourselves.
WISE. That is out of doubt; and by that antipathy they show that sin and Satan are more welcome to them than are wholesome instructions of life and godliness. ATTEN. Well, but not to go off from our discourse of Mr. Badman. You say he was proud; but will you show me now some symptoms of one that is proud? WISE. Yes, that I will; and first I will show you some symptoms of pride of heart.
