CHR. But thou camest not in at the wicket-gate that is at the head of this way; thou camest in hither through that same crooked lane, and therefore, I fear, however thou mayest think of thyself, when the reckoning day shall come, thou wilt have laid to thy charge that thou art a thief and a robber, instead of getting admittance into the city.
CHR. Well then, did you not know, about 10 years ago, one Temporary in your parts, who was a forward man in religion then? HOPE. Know him! yes, he dwelt in Graceless, a town about two miles off of Honesty, and he dwelt next door to one Turnback. CHR. Right, he dwelt under the same roof with him.
It had eyes lifted up to Heaven, the best of books in his hand, the law of truth was written upon his lips, the world was behind his back. It stood as if it pleaded with men, and a crown of gold did hang over its head. CHR. Then said Christian, What meaneth this?
CHR. Not a step further, unless you will do in what I propound, as we. Then said By-ends, I shall never desert my old principles, since they are harmless and profitable. If I may not go with you, I must do as I did before you overtook me, even go by myself, until some overtake me that will be glad of my company.
HOPE. Not at the first, nor second, nor third, nor fourth, nor fifth; no, nor at the sixth time neither. CHR. What did you do then? HOPE. What! why I could not tell what to do. CHR. Had you not thoughts of leaving off praying? HOPE. Yes, a hundred times twice told. CHR. And what was the reason you did not?
Come, good Christian, since we have been so loving to you, to receive you into our house this night, let us, if perhaps we may better ourselves thereby, talk with you of all things that have happened to you in your Pilgrimage. Chr. With a very good will, and I am glad that you are so well disposed. Piety. What moved you at first to betake yourself to a Pilgrim's life? Chr.
Suddenly a deep sigh burst from his breast; he thrust Wilhelm from him, and, like a madman, seized an article of dress to cover himself with; then, with a convulsive trembling of the lips, he said to Wilhelm, who held his hand, "I HATE YOU!" "Art thou Prometheus, pierced with wounds? The Vulture thou that tugs at his heart?" J. CHR. V. ZEDLITZ'S Todtenkränze.
The hours in which convictions were upon me, were such troublesome and such heart-affrighting hours, that I could not bear, no not so much as the remembrance of them upon my heart. CHR. Then, as it seems, sometimes you got rid of your trouble? HOPE. Yes, verily, but it would come into my mind again, and then I should be as bad, nay, worse than I was before.
CHR. Then Christian wept, and said, O how willingly would I have done it! but they were all of them utterly averse to my going on pilgrimage. CHAR. But you should have talked to them, and have endeavoured to have shown them the danger of being behind. CHAR. And did you pray to God that He would bless your counsel to them?
CHR. What! and did no more of them but you come out to escape the danger? FAITH. Though there were, as I said, a great talk thereabout, yet I do not think they did firmly believe it. CHR. Did you hear no talk of neighbour Pliable?
