00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.879
Part two, the third stage.
The interpreter then called for a man servant

2
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:12.199
of his one great Heart, and
bid him take a sword and helmet and

3
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:17.640
shield, and take these my daughters, said. He conduct them to the

4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.960
house called Beautiful, at which place
they will rest next. So he took

5
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.960
his weapons and went before them,
and the interpreter said, God speed.

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:34.159
Those also that belonged to the family
sent them away with many a good wish.

7
00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:38.000
So they went on their way and
sang, this place hath been our

8
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:43.240
second stage. Here we have heard
and seen those good things that from age

9
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:48.799
to age to others. He'd have
been the dunghill, raker spider. Hen

10
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:54.399
the chicken too to me have taught
a lesson. Let me then conformed to

11
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.600
it be the butcher garden, and
the field, the robin and his bait,

12
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.719
also the rotten tree. Doth yield
me argument of weight to move me

13
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.719
forward, to watch and pray,
to strive, to be sincere, to

14
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:15.000
take my cross up day by day
and serve the Lord with fear. Now

15
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.799
I saw in my dream that they
went on, and great Heart before them.

16
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.959
So they went and came to the
place where Christian's burden fell off his

17
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.200
back, and tumbled into a separcha. Here then they made a pause,

18
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:34.400
and here also they blessed God.
Now said Christiana, it comes to my

19
00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:38.879
mind what was said to us at
the gate, to wit that we should

20
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:44.920
have pardoned by word and deed by
word, that is, by the promise

21
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.959
by deed, to wit in the
way it was obtained. What the promise

22
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.879
is of that? I know something. But what is it to have pardoned

23
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.159
by deed or in the way that
it was obtained? Mister great I suppose

24
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:07.400
you know. Wherefore, if you
please let us hear your discourse thereof mister

25
00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:14.800
Greatheart, pardon by the deed done
is pardon obtained by some one for another

26
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:19.719
that hath need thereof, not by
the person pardoned, but in the way

27
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:24.319
saith another in which I have obtained
it. So then, to speak to

28
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:30.319
the question more at large, the
pardon that you and Mercy and these boys

29
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:35.000
have attained was obtained by another,
to wit, by him that let you

30
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.680
in at the gate, And he
hath obtained it in this double way.

31
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.199
He hath performed righteousness to cover you, and spilled his blood to wash you

32
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:51.080
in. Christiana. But if he
parts with his righteousness to us, what

33
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:57.960
will he have for himself, mister
Greatheart, he has more righteousness than you

34
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:04.680
have need of, or than he
need edith himself, Christiana, pray make

35
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:09.680
that appear, mister great Heart,
with all my heart. But first I

36
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:15.240
must premise that he of whom we
are now about to speak, is one

37
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:20.560
that has not his fellow. He
has two natures in one person, plain

38
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.520
to be distinguished, impossible to be
divided. Unto each of these natures,

39
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:31.319
a righteousness belongeth, and each righteousness
is essential to that nature, so that

40
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:37.439
one may as easily cause that nature
to be extinct as to separate its justice

41
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:44.240
or righteousness from it. Of these
righteousnesses, therefore we are not made partakers,

42
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.800
so as that they, or any
of them, should be put upon

43
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:53.280
us, that we might be made
just and live thereby. Besides these there

44
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.759
is a righteousness which this person has, as these two natures are joined in

45
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:03.240
one. And this is not the
righteousness of the Godhead as distinguished from the

46
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.199
manhood, nor the righteousness of the
manhood as distinguished from the Godhead, but

47
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:15.240
a righteousness which standeth in the union
of both natures, and may properly be

48
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:20.240
called the righteousness that is essential to
his being prepared of God to the capacity

49
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:26.920
of the mediatory office which he was
to be entrusted with. If he parts

50
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.279
with his first righteousness, he parts
with his Godhead. If he parts with

51
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:36.879
his second righteousness, he parts with
the purity of his manhood. If he

52
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:43.399
parts with his third, he parts
with that perfection that capacitates him to the

53
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:50.120
office of mediation. He has therefore
another righteousness, which standeth in performance or

54
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:56.600
obedience to a revealed will. And
that is what he puts upon sinners,

55
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.639
and that by which their sins are
covered. Wherefore he saith, as by

56
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:06.120
one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall

57
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:15.279
many be made righteous Romans five,
nineteen Christiana. But are the other righteousnesses

58
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:23.000
of no use to us, mister
Greatheart, Yes, For though they are

59
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:29.079
essential to his natures and office,
and cannot be communicated unto another. Yet

60
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:33.160
it is by virtue of them that
the righteousness that justifies is for that purpose

61
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:41.639
efficacious. The righteousness of his Godhead
gives virtue to his obedience. The righteousness

62
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:46.639
of his manhood giveth capability to his
obedience to justify. And the righteousness that

63
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:51.279
standeth in the union of these two
natures to his office, giveth authority to

64
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.560
that righteousness to do the work for
which it was ordained. So then here

65
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:03.600
is a righteousness that Christ as God
has no need of, for he is

66
00:06:03.639 --> 00:06:09.759
God. Without it. Here is
a righteousness that Christ as man has no

67
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.560
need of, to make him so, for he is perfect man without it.

68
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.040
Again, here is a righteousness that
Christ as God man has no need

69
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:24.240
of, for he is perfectly so
without it. Here then is a righteousness

70
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:29.639
that Christ, as God and as
god Man has no need of with reference

71
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.800
to himself, And therefore he can
spare it, a justifying righteousness that he

72
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:42.120
for himself wanteth not, and therefore
giveth it away. Hence it is called

73
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:46.959
the gift of righteousness. This righteousness, since Christ Jesus the Lord, has

74
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.720
made himself under the law, must
be given away. For the Law doth

75
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:57.000
not only bide him that is under
it to do justly, but to use

76
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.800
charity Romans five seventeen. Wherefore he
must or aught by the law. If

77
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.920
he hath two coats, give one
to him that hath none. Now,

78
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:14.319
our Lord indeed hath two coats,
one for himself and one to spare.

79
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:19.639
Wherefore he freely bestows one upon those
that have none. And thus, Christiana

80
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:25.600
and Mercy, and the rest of
you that are here, doth your pardon

81
00:07:25.639 --> 00:07:30.720
come by deed or by the work
of another man? Your Lord christ is

82
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.240
he that worked and hath given away
what he wrought for to the next poor

83
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:41.800
beggar he meets. But again,
in order to pardon by deed, there

84
00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.000
must be something be paid to God
as a price, as well as something

85
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.360
prepared to cover us withal sin has
delivered us up to the just curse of

86
00:07:50.399 --> 00:08:01.040
a righteous law. Now from this
curse we must be justified way of redemption,

87
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:05.600
a price being paid for the harms
we have done. And this is

88
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.560
by the blood of your Lord,
who came and stood in your place instead,

89
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:15.000
and died your death for your transgressions. Thus has He ransomed you from

90
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:24.399
your transgressions by blood and covered your
polluted and deformed souls with righteousness Romans eight

91
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.680
thirty four, for the sake of
which God passeth by you and will not

92
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:39.320
hurt you when he comes to judge
the world Galatians three thirteen. Christiana,

93
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.720
this is brave. Now I see
that there was something to be learned about

94
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:48.919
being pardoned by word and deed.
Good mercy. Let us labor to keep

95
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.000
this in mind, and my children, do you remember it also? But

96
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:58.879
sir, was not this it that
made my good Christian's burden fall from off

97
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:07.080
his shoulder, and that made him
give three leaps for joy, mister Greatheart.

98
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.519
Yes, it was the belief of
this that cut those strings that could

99
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:15.679
not be cut by other means.
And it was to give him a proof

100
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:18.639
of the virtue of this that he
was suffered to carry his burden to the

101
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:26.840
cross. Christiana, I thought so, for though my heart was lightsome and

102
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:31.399
joyous before, yet it is ten
times more lightsome and joyous now. And

103
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.159
I am persuaded by what I have
felt, though I have felt but little

104
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.440
as yet, that if the most
burdened man in the world was here and

105
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.960
did see and believe as I now
do, it would make his heart the

106
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:52.840
more merry and blithe. Mister Greatheart. There is not only comfort and the

107
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:56.679
ease of a burden brought to us
by the sight and consideration of these,

108
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:03.039
but an endeared affection begotten us by
For who can if he doth but once

109
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:07.200
think that pardon comes not only by
promise, but thus but be affected with

110
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:11.240
the way and means of his redemption, and so with the man that hath

111
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:20.000
wrought it for him. Christiana,
true methinks it makes my heart bleed to

112
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.279
think that he should bleed for me, Oh, thy loving one, O,

113
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.480
thou blessed one, Thou deservest to
have me, Thou hast brought me,

114
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:35.600
Thou deservest to have me all thou
hast paid for me ten thousand times

115
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.399
more than I am worth. No
marvel that this made the tears stand in

116
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:46.960
my husband's eyes, and that it
made him trudge so nimbly on. I

117
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:50.240
am persuaded. He wished me with
him, But thou wretch that I was,

118
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.159
I let him come all alone,
O mercy, that thy father and

119
00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.480
mother were here, yea, and
missus timorous also, Nay, I wished

120
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.559
now with all my heart that here
was Madam wanton too. Surely surely their

121
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.279
hearts would be affected. Nor could
the fear of the one nor the powerful

122
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.960
lust of the other prevail with them
to go home again and to refuse to

123
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:22.759
become good pilgrims. Mister greatheart,
you speak now in the warmth of your

124
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:28.399
affections, Will it think you be
always thus with you? Besides, this

125
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.039
is not communicated to every one,
nor to every one that did see your

126
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.080
Jesus bleed. There were that stood
by, and that saw the blood run

127
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:43.799
from the heart to the ground.
And yet were so far off this that

128
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.240
instead of lamenting, they laughed at
him, and instead of becoming his disciples,

129
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:52.919
did harden their hearts against him.
So that all you have, my

130
00:11:54.039 --> 00:12:00.279
daughters, you have by peculiar impression
made by divine contemplating upon what I have

131
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:07.639
spoken to you. Remember that was
told you that the hen, by her

132
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.600
common call, gives no meat to
her chickens. This you have, therefore

133
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:18.440
by a special grace. Now I
saw in my dream that they went on

134
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:24.120
until they were come to the place
that simple and sloth and presumption lay and

135
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.799
slept in. When Christian went by
on pilgrimage, and behold they were hanged

136
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:35.799
up in irons, a little way
off on the other side. Mercy then

137
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.440
said Mercy to him that was their
guide and conductor. What are these three

138
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:46.519
men? And for what are they
hanged there? Mister Greatheart? These three

139
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:52.240
men were men of very bad qualities. They had no mind to be pilgrims

140
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:58.080
themselves, and whomsoever they could they
hindered. They were sloth, and folly

141
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:03.399
themselves. And whomsoever they could persuade, they made so too, and withal

142
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.519
taught them to presume that they should
do well. At last they were asleep

143
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:15.399
when Christian went by, and now
you go by. They are hanged mercy.

144
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.159
But could they persuade any to be
of their opinion, mister Greatheart,

145
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:28.559
Yes, they termed several out of
the way. There was slow pace that

146
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:33.240
they persuaded to do as they.
They also prevailed with one short wind,

147
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.000
with one no heart, with one
linger after lust, and with one sleepy

148
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:43.879
head, and with a young woman
her name was Dull, to turn out

149
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.559
of the way and be calm as
they Besides, they brought up an ill

150
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:54.200
report of your lord, persuading others
that he was a hard taskmaster. They

151
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:58.080
also brought up an evil report of
the good land, saying it was not

152
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.240
half so good as some pretended was. They also began to vilify his servants,

153
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.600
and to count the best of them
meddlesome, troublesome, busybodies. Further,

154
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.399
they would call the bread of God
husks, the comforts of his children,

155
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.840
fancies, the travel and labor of
pilgrims, things to no purpose.

156
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:24.759
Christiana nay, said Christiana. If
they were such, they shall never be

157
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:30.279
bewailed by me. They have but
what they deserve. And I think it

158
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.600
is well that they stand so near
the highway that others may see and take

159
00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:39.600
warning. But had it not been
well if their crimes had been engraven in

160
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:43.519
some plate of iron or brass,
and left here where they did their mischiefs,

161
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:50.360
for caution to other bad men,
Mister greatheart, so it is as

162
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:56.159
you may well perceive, if you
will go a little to the wall mercy.

163
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.840
No, no, let them hang, and their names wrought, and

164
00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:05.360
their crimes, and if forever against
them, I think it a high favor

165
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:11.799
that they were hanged before we came
hither. Who knows else what they might

166
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.919
have done to such poor women as
we are. Then she turned it into

167
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:20.080
a song, saying, now,
then you three hang there and be a

168
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.559
sign to all that shall against the
truth. Combine, and let him that

169
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:30.080
comes after fear this end. If
unto pilgrims, he is not a friend.

170
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.000
And thou, my soul, of
all such men, beware that unto

171
00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:41.960
holiness opposers are. Thus they went
on till they came to the foot of

172
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:46.320
the hill difficulty, where again the
good mister Greatheart took an occasion to tell

173
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.879
them what happened there when Christian himself
went by. So he had them first

174
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:58.600
to the spring. Lo saith he
this is the spring that Christian drank of,

175
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.759
or he went up this hill,
and then it was clear and good.

176
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.440
But now it is dirty, with
the feet of some that are not

177
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:12.879
desirous that pilgrims here should quench their
thirst Ezekiel thirty four, eighteen and nineteen.

178
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.879
Thereat mercy said, and why so
envious? True? But said their

179
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:25.919
guide it will do if taken up
and put into a vessel that is sweet

180
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:30.000
and good, for then the dirt
will sink to the bottom, and the

181
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:36.200
water come out by itself more clear. Thus therefore Christiana and her companions were

182
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:40.799
compelled to do. They took it
up and put it into an earthen pot,

183
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:44.240
and so let it stand till the
dirt was gone to the bottom,

184
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:51.799
and then they drank thereof. Next
he showed them the two by ways that

185
00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:56.200
were at the foot of the hill, where formality and hypocrisy lost themselves,

186
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:03.320
and said he these are dangerous paths. Two were here cast away when Christian

187
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.200
came by. And although as you
see these ways are since stopped up with

188
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:11.880
chains, posts and a ditch.
Yet there are those that will choose to

189
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:19.119
adventure here, rather than take the
pains to go up this hill. Christiana,

190
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:26.359
the way of transgressors is hard Proverbs
thirteen fifteen. It is a wonder

191
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:33.119
that they can get into these ways
without danger of breaking their necks, Mister

192
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:38.160
Greatheart, they will venture, yea
If at any time any of the King's

193
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:42.680
servants do happen to see them,
and do call upon them and tell them

194
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.880
that they are in the wrong way, and do bid them beware of the

195
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:52.440
danger, then they railingly return them
answer and say, as for the word

196
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.279
that thou hast spoken unto us in
the name of the King, we will

197
00:17:56.279 --> 00:18:00.000
not hearken unto thee, but we
will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth out of

198
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:07.880
our own mouths Jeremiah forty four,
sixteen and seventeen. Nay, if you

199
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:11.480
look a little further, you shall
see that these ways are made cautionary enough,

200
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:17.519
not only by these posts and ditch
and chain, but also by being

201
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:22.880
hedged up. Yet they will choose
to go there, Christiana. They are

202
00:18:22.920 --> 00:18:27.839
idle. They love not to take
pains uphill. Way is unpleasant to them.

203
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.160
So it is fulfilled unto them,
as it is written, the way

204
00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:38.839
of the slothful man is full of
thorns Proverbs fifteen nineteen. YEA, they

205
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:44.000
will rather choose to walk upon a
snare than to go up this hill and

206
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.079
the rest of this way to the
city. Then they set forward and began

207
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.079
to go up the hill. And
up the hill they went. But before

208
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.920
they got to the top, Christiana
began to pant, and said, I

209
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:02.640
dare say this is a breathing hill, no marvel of they that love their

210
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:08.599
ease more than their souls choose to
themselves a smoother way. Then said Mercy,

211
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.480
I must sit down. Also,
the least of the children began to

212
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:18.119
cry, Come, Come, said
great Heart, sit not down here,

213
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.960
for a little above is the Prince's
arbor. Then he took the little boy

214
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.400
by the hand and led him up
there too. When they were come to

215
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.119
the arbor, they were very willing
to sit down, for they were all

216
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:37.720
in a pelting heat. Then said
Mercy, how sweet is rest to them

217
00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:42.680
that labor Matthew eleven twenty eight.
And how good is the Prince of Pilgrims

218
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:48.519
to provide such resting places for them? Of this arbor. I have heard

219
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:52.240
much, but I never saw it
before. But here let us beware of

220
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:59.720
sleeping, for as I have heard
it cost poor Christian dear, then said

221
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:03.599
miss the great Heart to the little
ones. Come, my pretty boys,

222
00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:08.200
how do you do? What think
you now of going on pilgrimage? Sir

223
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:14.480
said the least. I was almost
beat out of heart, But I thank

224
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.559
you for lending me a hand at
my need. And I remember now what

225
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.119
my mother hath told me, namely
that the way to heaven is as a

226
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.759
ladder, and the way to hell
is as down a hill. But I

227
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:32.519
had rather go up the ladder to
life than down the hill to death.

228
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:38.119
Then said Mercy. But the proverb
is to go down the hill is easy,

229
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.480
But James said, for that was
his name, the day's coming,

230
00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:48.880
when, in my opinion, when
going down the hill will be the hardest

231
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:53.559
of all. Tis a good boy, said his master. Thou hast given

232
00:20:53.559 --> 00:21:00.680
her a right answer. Then Mercy
smiled, but the little boy did blush.

233
00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:06.799
Christiana, Come, said Christiana.
Will you eat a bit to sweeten

234
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:11.000
your mouths while you sit here to
rest your legs? For I have here

235
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.680
a piece of pomegranate which mister interpreter
put into my hand. Just when I

236
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:19.119
came out of his door. He
gave me also a piece of an honeycomb

237
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:23.400
and a little bottle of spirits.
I thought he gave you something, said

238
00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:29.200
Mercy, because he called you aside. Yes, so he did, said

239
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:33.799
the other. But said Christiana,
it shall be still as I said it

240
00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:37.400
should when at first we came from
home. Thou shalt be a sharer in

241
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.920
all the good that I have,
because thou so willingly didst become my companion.

242
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.279
Then she gave to them, and
they did eat, both Mercy and

243
00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:52.359
the boys. And said Christiana to
mister greatheart, sir, will you do

244
00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:57.920
as me? But he answered,
you are going on pilgrimage, and presently

245
00:21:57.960 --> 00:22:03.640
I shall return much good. May
what you have do you at home?

246
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:10.079
I eat the same every day.
And Part two the third stage
