Apol.
THAT is the way thou must go; it was cast up by the Patriarchs, Prophets, Christ, his Apostles; and it is as straight as a rule can make it: This is the way thou must go. Chr. But said Christian, Is there no turnings nor windings, by which a Stranger may lose the way? Good-Will.
So we hushed up the dispute, and offered, if he would, to examine precedents, and report them, if there was any thing to his advantage to be found, to the Duke. The next was, Mr. Chr. Pett and Deane were summoned to give an account of some knees
MEN. They said, Back! back! and we would have you to do so too, if either life or peace is prized by you. CHR. Why? what's the matter? said Christian. MEN.

Welcome, welcome, my good Evangelist; the sight of thy countenance brings to my remembrance thy ancient kindness and unwearied labouring for my eternal good. FAITH. And a thousand times welcome, said good Faithful.
Then said the Interpreter to Christian, Hast thou considered all these things? Chr. Yes, and they put me in hope and fear. Inter.

Then Christian began to gird up his loins, and to address himself to his Journey.
