My lord, his name is Pitiless; so he hath written himself in all papers of concern wherein he has had to do. But these Diabolonians love to counterfeit their names: Mr. Covetousness covers himself with the name of Good-Husbandry, or the like; Mr. Pride can, when need is, call himself Mr. Neat, Mr. Handsome, or the like; and so of all the rest of them. Clerk. Mr. Tell-True, what say you? Tell.
Tell-true came into our parts, and he told it about what Christian had done, that went from the City of Destruction; namely, how he had forsaken his wife and children, and had betaken himself to a pilgrim's life. It was also confidently reported, how he had killed a serpent that did come out to resist him in his journey, and how he got through to whither he intended.
He tells the guide that he was made a pilgrim just by having the story of The Pilgrim told to him. All that Tell-true did was just to recite the story of the pilgrim, when young Valiant's heart fell into a burning haste to be a pilgrim too. My brethren, could any lesson be plainer? Read the Pilgrim's Progress with your children.
The names of the witnesses were Mr. Know-All, Mr. Tell-True, Mr. Hate-Lies, with my Lord Willbewill and his man, if need were. So the prisoners were set to the bar. Then said Mr. Then said the Clerk, 'Atheism, hold up thy hand. This thou hast done against the being, honour, and glory of the King, and against the peace and safety of the town of Mansoul. What sayest thou?
"And had I not found incommodity there, I had not forsaken it at all; but finding it altogether unsuitable to me, and very unprofitable for me, I forsook it for this way. Now, that which caused me to come on pilgrimage was this. We had one Mr. Tell-true came into our parts, and he told it about what Christian had done, that went from the City of Destruction.
You are sure you heard him say thus? Know. Upon mine oath, I heard him say thus. Then said the Clerk, 'Mr. Tell-True, what say you to the King's judges touching the prisoner at the bar? Tell.
VALIANT. No; they seemed but as so many nothings to me. GREAT-HEART. How came that about? VALIANT. Why, I still believed what Mr. Tell-true had said, and that carried me beyond them all. GREAT-HEART. Then this was your victory, even your faith. VALIANT. It was so.
Tell-True, give in your evidence concerning the prisoner at the bar, about that for which he stands here, as you see, indicted by this honourable Court. Tell. My lord, I have heard him often say he had rather think of the vilest thing than of what is contained in the Holy Scriptures. Clerk. Where did you hear him say such grievous words? Tell.
Art thou guilty of this indictment, or not? Atheism. Not guilty. Crier. Call Mr. Know-All, Mr. Tell-True, and Mr. Hate-Lies into the court. So they were called, and they appeared. Then said the Clerk, 'You, the witnesses for the King, look upon the prisoner at the bar; do you know him? Then said Mr.
He has been, to my knowledge, a very filthy man. Clerk. But where did he use to commit his wickedness? in some private corners, or more open and shamelessly? Know. All the town over, my lord. Clerk. Come, Mr. Tell-True, what have you to say for our Lord the King against the prisoner at the bar? Tell. My lord, all that the first witness has said I know to be true, and a great deal more besides.
