1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:06.519
First half of part to you the
sixth stage. Now I saw that they

2
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:10.359
went on to their ascent that was
a little way off, cast up to

3
00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:15.359
be a prospect for pilgrims. This
was the place from whence Christian had the

4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:20.679
first sight of Faithful his brother.
Wherefore here they sat down and rested.

5
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:25.839
They also here did eat and drink
and make merry, for that they had

6
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:31.280
gotten deliverance from this so dangerous an
enemy. As they sat thus and did

7
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:36.439
eat, Christiana asked the guide if
he had caught no hurt in the battle.

8
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.600
Then said mister Greatheart, no,
save a little on my flesh.

9
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:46.320
Yet that also shall be so far
from being to my detriment, that it

10
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.960
is at present a proof of my
love to my master and you, and

11
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:58.079
shall be a means by grace to
increase my reward at last. Christiana,

12
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.679
But were you not afraid, good
sir, when you saw him come with

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:07.799
his club. Mister Greatheart, it
is my duty, said he, to

14
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.239
mistrust mine own ability, that I
may have reliance on him who is stronger

15
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:18.439
than all. Christiana, But what
did you think would he fetch you down

16
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.920
to the ground at the first blow, mister Greatheart? Why I thought quoth

17
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.719
he that so my master himself was
served. And yet he it was that

18
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:36.760
conquered at last. Second Corinthians four
ten and eleven, Romans eight thirty seven.

19
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.400
Matthew, when you all have thought
what you please, I think God

20
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.480
has been wonderfully good unto us,
both in bringing us out of this valley

21
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.079
and in delivering us out of the
hand of this enemy. For my part,

22
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:56.159
I see no reason why we should
distrust our God any more, since

23
00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:00.200
he has, now, and in
such a place as this, given us

24
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:07.439
such testimony of his love. Then
they got up and went forward. Now

25
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:10.319
a little before them stood in oak
and under it. When they came to

26
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.400
it, they found an old pilgrim, fast asleep. They knew that he

27
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.560
was a pilgrim by his clothes and
his staff and his girdle. So the

28
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.960
guide, mister Greatheart, awaked him, and the old gentleman, as he

29
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.960
lifted up his eyes, cried out, what's the matter. Who are you?

30
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:36.039
And what is your business here?
Mister Greatheart, Come man, be

31
00:02:36.159 --> 00:02:40.280
not so hot, Here are none
but friends. Yet the old man gets

32
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.199
up and stands upon his guard,
and will know of them what they are.

33
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.360
Then said the guide, my name
is Great Heart, I am the

34
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.879
guide of these pilgrims that are going
to the celestial country. Mister Honest,

35
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.159
then said mister Honest, I cry
you mercy. I feared that you had

36
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.639
been of the company of those that
some time ago did rob little faith of

37
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.960
his money. But now I look
better about me. I perceive you are

38
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:15.639
honest a people. Mister Greatheart.
Why what would or could you have done

39
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:21.960
to have helped yourself if indeed we
had been of that company mister Honest done,

40
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.280
why I would have fought as long
as breath had been in me.

41
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.479
And had I so done, I
am sure you could never have given me

42
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:34.360
the worst aunt. For a Christian
can never be overcome unless he shall yield

43
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:40.360
of himself. Mister Greatheart, Well
said father honest, quoth the guide.

44
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:45.840
For by this I know thou art
a cock of the right kind, For

45
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:51.919
thou hast said the truth, mister
Honest. And by this also I know

46
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.759
that thou knowest what true pilgrimages for
all others do think that we are the

47
00:03:55.800 --> 00:04:03.159
soonest overcome of any Mister Greatheart,
Well, now we are so happily met.

48
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:06.800
Pray, let me crave your name
and the name of the place you

49
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:14.719
came from, mister Honest. My
name I cannot tell you, but I

50
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.480
came from the town of Stupidity.
It lieth about four degrees beyond the City

51
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:26.279
of Destruction. Mister Greatheart, Oh
are you that countryman? Then I deem

52
00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.480
I have half a guess of you. Your name is Old Honesty, is

53
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.680
it not, mister Honest? So
the old gentleman blushed and said, not

54
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:40.439
honesty in the abstract. But Honest
is my name, and I wish that

55
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.040
my nature may agree to what I
am called. But sir, said the

56
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:48.399
old gentleman, how could you guess
that I am such a man, since

57
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:55.439
I came from such a place.
Mister Greatheart. I had heard of you

58
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.360
before by my Master, for he
knows all things that are done on the

59
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.639
earth. But I have often wondered
that any should come from your place,

60
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:10.560
for your town is worse than is
the city of Destruction itself. Mister Honest,

61
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:15.519
Yes, wely more off from the
sun, and so are more cold

62
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:18.920
and senseless. But were a man
in a mountain of ice, yet if

63
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.040
the sun of righteousness will arise upon
him, his frozen heart shall feel a

64
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:30.879
thaw. And thus it has been
with me, mister Greatheart, I believe

65
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:32.959
it, Father, honest, I
believe it, for I know the thing

66
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:39.519
is true. Then the old gentleman
saluted all the pilgrims with a holy kiss

67
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:44.079
of charity, and asked them their
names and how they had fared since they

68
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:50.639
set out on their pilgrimage. Christiana
then said, Christiana my name. I

69
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:56.319
suppose you have heard of good Christian
was my husband, and these four are

70
00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.720
his children. But can you think
how the old gentleman was taken when she

71
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.079
told him who she was. He
skipped, he smiled. He blessed them

72
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:10.040
with a thousand good wishes, saying, mister, honest, I have heard

73
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:13.839
much of your husband, and of
his travels and wars which he underwent in

74
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.680
his days. Be it spoken to
your comfort. The name of your husband

75
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:23.120
rings all over these parts of the
world. His faith, his courage,

76
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:29.839
his enduring and his sincerity under all
had made his name famous. Then he

77
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.720
turned him to the boys and asked
them of their names, which they told

78
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:39.319
him. Then said he unto them, Matthew, be thou like Matthew the

79
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:46.800
publican, not in vice, but
in virtue. Matthew ten three. Samuel

80
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.519
said he be thou like Samuel the
prophet, a man of faith and prayer,

81
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:58.319
Psalm ninety nine six. Joseph said, he be thou like Joseph in

82
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:04.959
Potiphar's house haste, and one that
flees from temptation Genesis thirty nine. And

83
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:10.720
James be thou like James the Just, and like James the brother of our

84
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:16.040
Lord, Acts one thirteen. Then
they told him of Mercy, and how

85
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:20.160
she had left her town and her
kindred to come along with Christiana and with

86
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:26.959
her sons. At that, the
old honest man said, Mercy is thy

87
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:31.240
name. By Mercy, shalt thou
be sustained and carried through all those difficulties

88
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:34.959
that shall assault thee in thy way, till thou shalt come thither, where

89
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:41.560
thou shalt look the fountain of Mercy
in the face with comfort. All this

90
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:46.680
while the guide, mister Greatheart,
was very well pleased and smiled upon his

91
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.720
companions. Now, as they walked
along together, the guide asks the old

92
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:58.439
gentleman if he did not know one
mister Fearing that came on pilgrimage out of

93
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:05.680
his parts. Mister honest, yes, very well, said he. He

94
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:09.120
was a man that had the root
of the matter in him, But he

95
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.519
was one of the most troublesome pilgrims
that ever I met with in all my

96
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:20.199
days. Mister Greatheart, I perceive
ye knew him, for ye have given

97
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.399
a very right character of him.
Mister Honest, knew him. I was

98
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.959
a great companion of his. I
was with him most an end when he

99
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.759
first began to think upon what would
come upon us hereafter. I was with

100
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.679
him, mister Greatheart. I was
his guide from my master's house to the

101
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:46.679
gates of the celestial city. Mister
Honest, Then ye knew him to be

102
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:52.600
a troublesome one, Mister Greatheart,
I did so, but I could very

103
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:58.360
well bear it, for men of
my calling are oftentimes entrusted with the conduct

104
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:03.679
of such as he was. Mister
Honest. Well, then pray let us

105
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.159
hear a little of him, and
how he managed himself under your conduct,

106
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:15.320
mister Greatheart. Why he was always
afraid that he should come short of whither

107
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:20.559
he had a desire to go.
Everything frightened him that he heard anybody speak

108
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.000
of, if it had but the
least appearance of opposition in it. I

109
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:28.919
heard that he lay roaring at the
slow of Despond for above a month together,

110
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:33.679
nor durst Eve, for all he
saw several go over before him venture.

111
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.679
Though they, many of them,
offered to lend him their hands,

112
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.080
he would not go back again,
neither the celestial city. He said he

113
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:46.879
should die if he came not to
it. And yet he was dejected at

114
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.759
every difficulty, and stumbled at every
straw that anybody cast in his way.

115
00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.159
Well after he had lain at the
slow of despond a great while, as

116
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.200
I have told you once unshiny morning. I do not know how he ventured

117
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:07.519
and so got over, but when
he was over, he would scarce.

118
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.240
Believe it, he had I think
a slow of despond in his mind,

119
00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:16.000
a slow that he carried everywhere with
him, or else he could never have

120
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.159
been as he was. So he
came up to the gate, you know

121
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.279
what I mean, that stands at
the head of this way. And there

122
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:30.279
also he stood a good while before
he would venture to knock. When the

123
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.080
gate was opened, he would give
back and give place to others, and

124
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:39.159
say that he was not worthy for
or he got before some to the gate,

125
00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.960
Yet many of them went in before
him. There the poor man would

126
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.320
stand shaking and shrinking. I dare
say it would have pitied one's heart to

127
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:52.080
have seen him, nor would he
go back again. At last, he

128
00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:56.039
took the hammer that hanged on the
gate in his hand and gave a small

129
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.480
rap or two than one opened to
him. But he shrunk back as before.

130
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:07.120
He that open stepped out after him
and said, thou trembling one,

131
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:11.919
what wantest thou? With that he
fell down to the ground. He that

132
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.200
spoke to him wondered to see him
so faint, So he said to him,

133
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.240
peace be to thee up, for
I have set open the door to

134
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:26.159
thee. Come in, for thou
art blessed. With that, he got

135
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.159
up and went in, trembling,
And when he was in he was ashamed

136
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:35.440
to show his face. Well after
he had been entertained there. While,

137
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.759
as you know how the manner is, he was bid go on his way,

138
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.559
and also told the way he should
take. So he went on till

139
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:48.639
he came out to our house.
But as he behaved himself at the gate,

140
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:54.399
so he did at my master the
Interpreter's door. He lay there about

141
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:58.919
in the cold a good while before
he would adventure to call. Yet he

142
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:01.559
would not go back, and the
nights were long and cold. Then,

143
00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.279
nay, he had a note of
necessity in his bosom to my master to

144
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.960
receive him and grant him the comfort
of his house, and also to allow

145
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.120
him a stout and valiant conductor,
because he was himself so chicken hearted a

146
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.840
man. And yet for all that, he was afraid to call at the

147
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:26.440
door. So he lay up and
down thereabouts till poor man, he was

148
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:31.000
almost starved. YEA, so great
was his dejection, that, though he

149
00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:35.080
saw several others for knocking get in, yet he was afraid to venture.

150
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.120
At last, I think I looked
out of the window, and, perceiving

151
00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:43.480
a man to be up and down
about the door, I went out to

152
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:46.360
him and asked what he was.
But poor man, the water stood in

153
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:52.000
his eyes, so I perceived what
he wanted. I went therefore in and

154
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.519
told it in the house, and
we showed the thing to our lord.

155
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.320
So he sent me out again to
entreat him to come in. But I

156
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.799
dare say I had hard work to
do it. At last he came in,

157
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.120
and I will say that for my
Lord. He carried it wonderful lovingly

158
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:13.919
to him. There were but a
few good bits at the table, but

159
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.440
some of it was laid upon his
trencher. Then he presented the note,

160
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.480
and my Lord looked thereon and said
his desire should be granted. So when

161
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:28.039
he had been there a good while, he seemed to get some heart and

162
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.639
to be a little more comfortable.
For my master, you must know,

163
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:37.679
is one of very tender bowls,
especially to them that are afraid. Wherefore

164
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:43.559
he carried it so towards him as
might tend most to his encouragement. Well,

165
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.759
when he had had a sight of
the things of the place and was

166
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.000
ready to take his journey to go
to the city, my lord, as

167
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.759
he did to Christian before, gave
him a bottle of spirits and some comfortable

168
00:13:56.799 --> 00:14:01.480
things to eat. Thus we set
forward, and I went before him.

169
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.919
But the man was but a few
words. Only he would sigh aloud.

170
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:11.840
When we were come to where the
three fellows were hanged, he said that

171
00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:16.000
he doubted that that would be his
end. Also, only he seemed glad

172
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:22.200
when he saw the cross and the
sepulcher there. I confess he desired to

173
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:26.080
stay a little to look, and
he seemed for a while after to be

174
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:31.399
a little cheery. When he came
to the hill difficulty, he'd made no

175
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.840
stick at that, nor did he
much fear the lions. For you must

176
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.000
know that his troubles were not about
such things as these. His fear was

177
00:14:41.039 --> 00:14:46.320
about his acceptance at last. I
got him in at the House Beautiful,

178
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.879
I think before he was willing.
Also, when he was in, I

179
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.919
brought him acquainted with the damsels of
the place. But he was ashamed to

180
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.320
make himself much in company. He
desired much to be alone. Yet he

181
00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.440
always loved good talk, and often
would get behind the screen to hear it.

182
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:09.879
He also loved much to see ancient
things and to be pondering them in

183
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:13.600
his mind. He told me afterward
that he loved to be in those two

184
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:18.679
houses from which he came last,
to wit at the Gate, and that

185
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.960
of the Interpreter, but that he
does not be so bold as to ask.

186
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:28.639
When we went, also from the
House Beautiful, down the hill into

187
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:31.960
the valley of Humiliation, he went
down as well as ever I saw a

188
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.120
man in my life, for he
cared not how mean he was, so

189
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.039
he might be happy at last.
Yeah, I think there was a kind

190
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.320
of sympathy betwixt that valley and him, for I never saw him better in

191
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:50.720
all his pilgrimage than he was in
that valley. Here he would lie down,

192
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:56.279
embrace the ground and kiss the very
flowers that grew in this valley Lamentations

193
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.120
three twenty seven to twenty nine.
He would, I'll be up every morning

194
00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.159
by break of day, tracing and
walking to and fro in the valley.

195
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.399
But when he was come to the
entrance of the Valley of the Shadow of

196
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.600
Death, I thought I should have
lost my man, not for that he

197
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:17.919
had any inclination to go back that
he always abhorred. But he was ready

198
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:22.320
to die for fear. Oh the
hobgoblins will have me. The hobgoblins will

199
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.720
have me, he cried he,
and I could not beat him out of

200
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:32.200
it. He made such a noise
and such an outcry here that had they

201
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:34.919
but heard him, it was enough
to encourage them to come and fall upon

202
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:42.639
us. But this I took very
great notice of that this valley was as

203
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:47.639
quiet as when we went through it, as ever I knew it before.

204
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:52.159
Since I suppose those enemies here had
now a special check from our Lord and

205
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.879
a command not to meddle until mister
Fearing had passed over it. It would

206
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.440
be too tedious to tell of all. We will therefore only mention a passage

207
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.200
or two more. When he was
come to Vanity, fair. I thought

208
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.960
he would have fought with all the
men in the fair. I feared there

209
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.839
we should have been both knocked on
the head, so hot was he against

210
00:17:15.839 --> 00:17:21.960
their fooleries. Upon the enchanted ground, he was very wakeful. But when

211
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.519
he was come at the river,
there was no bridge. There again he

212
00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:30.799
was in a heavy case. Now
now he said he should be drowned for

213
00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:34.599
ever, and so never see that
face with comfort that he had come so

214
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:41.000
many miles to behold. And here
also I took notice of what was very

215
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.400
remarkable. The water of that river
was lower at this time than ever I

216
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:51.400
saw it in all my life.
So he went over at last, not

217
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.839
much above Wetshod. When he was
going up to the gate, I began

218
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:59.400
to take leave of him, and
to wish him a good reception above.

219
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.599
So he said, I shall,
I shall. Then parted we asunder,

220
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:11.279
and I saw him no more,
mister honest. Then it seems he was

221
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.920
well at last, mister greatheart.
Yes, yes, I never had doubt

222
00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.039
about him. He was a man
of a choice spirit. Only he was

223
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:26.440
always kept very low, and that
made his life so burdensome to himself and

224
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:33.599
so troublesome to others Psalm eighty eight. He was above many tender of sin.

225
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:37.599
He was so afraid of doing injuries
to others that he often would deny

226
00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:44.799
himself of that which was lawful,
because he would not offend Romans fourteen twenty

227
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:52.119
one, First Corinthians eight thirteen.
Mister honest, But what should be the

228
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:56.319
reason that such a good man should
be all his days so much in the

229
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:03.480
dark, mister greatheart. There are
two sorts of reasons for it. One

230
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:07.599
is the wise God will have it, so some must pipe and some must

231
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:14.319
weep. Matthew eleven sixteen. Now, mister Fearing was one that played upon

232
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.000
the bass. He and his fellows
sound the sack, but whose notes are

233
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.359
more doleful than the notes of other
music are. Though indeed some say the

234
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:27.200
bass is the ground of music,
And for my part, I care not

235
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:32.920
at all for that profession, which
begins not in heaviness of mind. The

236
00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:37.680
first string that the musician usually touches
is the bass when he intends to put

237
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:42.160
all in tune. God also plays
upon this string first, when he sets

238
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:47.680
the soul in tune. For himself. Only there was the imperfection of mister

239
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.000
Fearing. He could play upon no
other music but this till towards his latter

240
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:59.000
end. I make bold to talk
thus metaphorically for the ripening of the wits

241
00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:03.400
of young readers, and because in
the Book of Revelation, the saved are

242
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:07.839
compared to accompany musicians that play upon
their trumpets and harps and sing their songs

243
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:17.240
before the throne Revelations five, eight, fourteen, two and three. Mister

244
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:22.279
honest, he was a very zealous
man, as one may see by the

245
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.480
relation you have given of him.
Difficulties, lions or vanity fair he feared

246
00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:32.279
not at all. It was only
sin, death and hell that were to

247
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.680
him a terror, because he had
some doubts about his interest in that celestial

248
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:42.599
country. Mister greatheart, you say
right, those were the things that were

249
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.720
his troublers, And they, as
you have well observed, arose from the

250
00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:52.200
weakness of his mind thereabout, not
from weakness of spirit. As to the

251
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.279
practical part of a pilgrim's life,
I dare believe that, as the proverb

252
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:02.160
is, he could have bitter firebrand
that stood in his way, But the

253
00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:06.359
things with which he was oppressed,
no man ever yet could shake off with

254
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:14.839
ease. Christiana then said Christiana,
this relation of mister fearing has done me

255
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:18.359
good. I thought nobody had been
like me. But I see there were

256
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:23.039
some semblance betwixt this good man and
me. Only we differed in two things.

257
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.920
His troubles were so great that they
broke out, but mine I kept

258
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:33.400
within. His also lay so hard
upon him, they made him that he

259
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:38.799
could not knock at the houses provided
for entertainment. But my trouble was always

260
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:45.759
such as made me knock the louder
mercy. If I might also speak my

261
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.359
heart, I must say that something
of him has also dwelt in me.

262
00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:53.720
For I have ever been more afraid
of the lake and the loss of a

263
00:21:53.799 --> 00:22:00.799
place in Paradise than I have been
of the loss other things. Oh thought,

264
00:22:00.839 --> 00:22:04.680
I may I have the happiness to
have a habitation. There tis enough,

265
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:12.519
though I part with all the world
to win it. Matthew then,

266
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:18.000
said Matthew. Fear was one thing
that made me think that I was far

267
00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:22.920
from having that within me which accompanies
salvation. But if it were so with

268
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.480
such a good man as he,
why may it not also go well with

269
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:33.599
me? James, No fears,
no grace, said James. Though there

270
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.880
is not always grace where there is
the fear of hell. Yet to be

271
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.680
sure, there is no grace where
there is no fear of God. Mister

272
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:48.359
Greatheart, well, said James,
thou hast hit the mark. For the

273
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.440
fear of God is the beginning of
wisdom. And to be sure, they

274
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.720
that want the beginning have neither middle
nor end. But we will here conclude

275
00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.160
our discourse of mister Fearing, after
we have sent after him. This farewell

276
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.839
well, mister Fearing, Thou didst
fear thy God, and was afraid of

277
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:12.160
doing anything while here that would have
thee betrayed? And didst thou fear the

278
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:18.079
lake and pit? Would others do
so too? For as for them that

279
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:23.799
want Thy wit, they do themselves
undo. Now I saw that they still

280
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:29.000
went on in their talk, For
after mister Greatheart had made an end with

281
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.160
mister Fearing, mister Honest began to
tell them of another. But his name

282
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:38.240
was mister Selfwell, he pretended himself
to be a pilgrim, said mister Honest.

283
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.920
But I persuade myself. He never
came in at the gate that stands

284
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:51.240
at the head of the way,
mister Greatheart, had you ever any talk

285
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:56.160
with him about it? Mister Honest, yes, more than once or twice.

286
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:02.240
But he would always be like himself
self willed. He neither cared for

287
00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:06.880
man, nor argument, nor yet
example. What his mind prompted him to

288
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.000
that he would do, and nothing
else could he be got to do.

289
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:18.039
Mister Greatheart, Pray what principles did
he hold? For I suppose you can

290
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:25.119
tell, mister Honest. He held
that a man might follow the vices as

291
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:29.240
well as the virtues of pilgrims,
and that if he did both, he

292
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:36.319
should be certainly saved. Mister Greatheart, how if he had said, it

293
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:40.039
is possible for the best to be
guilty of the vices as well as to

294
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:44.759
partake of the virtues of pilgrims,
he could not much have been blamed for

295
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.240
indeed, we are exempted from no
vice, absolutely, but on condition that

296
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.119
we watch and strive. But this, I perceive is not the thing.

297
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:57.440
If I understand you right, Your
meaning is that he was of opinion that

298
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:03.440
it was allowable so to be mister
Honest, Aye, aye, so I

299
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:11.000
mean, and so he believed and
practiced, mister Greatheart. But what ground

300
00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:15.640
had he for his so saying,
mister Honest? Why he said he had

301
00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:22.240
the scripture for his warrant. Mister
Greatheart, prithee mister honest, present us

302
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:29.400
with a few particulars. Mister honest, so I will. He said,

303
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:33.240
to have to do with other men's
wives had been practiced by David, God's

304
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:37.279
beloved, and therefore he could do
it. He said, to have more

305
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.160
woman than one was a thing that
Solomon practiced, and therefore he could do

306
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.559
it. He said that Sarah and
the godly midwives of Egypt lied, and

307
00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:52.039
so did save Rahab, and therefore
he could do it. He said that

308
00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:56.720
the disciples went at the bidding of
their master and took away the owner's ass,

309
00:25:56.759 --> 00:26:00.960
and therefore he could do so too. He said that Jacob got the

310
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:04.640
inheritance of his father in a way
of gall and dissimulation, and therefore he

311
00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:11.599
could do so too, mister Greatheart, high base. Indeed, and are

312
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:18.119
you sure he was of this opinion, mister honest, I heard him plead

313
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.279
for it, Bring scripture for it, bring arguments for it, etc.

314
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:27.559
Mister Greatheart, an opinion that is
not fit to be with any allowance in

315
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:34.559
the world. Mister honest, you
must understand me rightly. He did not

316
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:38.799
say that any man might do this, but that they who had the virtues

317
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:45.839
of those that did such things might
also do the same, mister greatheart.

318
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.359
But what more false than such a
conclusion. For this is as much as

319
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:56.720
to say that because good men heretofore
have sinned of infirmity, therefore he had

320
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:02.440
allowance to do it of a presumptuous
mind. Or that if because a child,

321
00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:06.039
by the blast of the wind,
or for that it stumbled at a

322
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:11.279
stone, fell down and defiled itself
in the mire, therefore he might wilfully

323
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.920
lie down and wallow like a ball
therein. Who could have thought that anyone

324
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:21.640
could so far have been blinded by
the power of lust? But what is

325
00:27:21.680 --> 00:27:26.519
written must be true. They stumble
at the word, being disobedient, who

326
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:33.440
unto also they were appointed first Peter
two eight. His supposing that such may

327
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.319
have the godly men's virtues, who
addict themselves to their vices, is also

328
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:41.240
a delusion, as strong as the
other, to eat up the sin of

329
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:48.160
God's people Joseiah for eight. As
a dog licks up filth, is no

330
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:52.599
sign that one is possessed with their
virtues. When all can I believe that

331
00:27:52.599 --> 00:27:56.000
one who is of this opinion can
at present have faith or love in him.

332
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:02.559
But I know you have made strong
objection against him, prithee, What

333
00:28:02.599 --> 00:28:08.279
can he say for himself, mister
honest? Why he says to do this

334
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:12.279
by way of opinion seems abundantly more
honest than to do it, and yet

335
00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:19.200
hold contrary to it in opinion,
mister Greatheart, a very wicked answer.

336
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:25.200
For though to let loose the bridle
to lusts, while our opinions are against

337
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:30.319
such things is bad. Yet to
sin and plead a toleration, so to

338
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:34.880
do is worse. The one stumbles, behold as accidentally the other leads them

339
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:41.960
into the snare. Mister Honest,
there are many of this man's mind that

340
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:47.319
have not this man's mouth, and
that makes going on pilgrimage of so little

341
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:52.119
esteem. As it is, Mister
Greatheart, you have said the truth,

342
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:57.759
and it is to be lamented.
But he that feereth the King of Paradise

343
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:04.640
shall come out of them. Christiana, there are strange opinions in the world.

344
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:10.400
I know one that said it was
time enough to repent when we come

345
00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:17.880
to die. Mister Greatheart, such
are not overwise that man would have been

346
00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:21.599
loath. Might he have had a
week to run twenty miles in his life

347
00:29:22.039 --> 00:29:26.440
to defer his journey to the last
hour of that week. Mister, honest

348
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:32.720
you say right, and yet the
generality of them who count themselves pilgrims do

349
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:36.680
indeed do. Thus. I am, as you see, an old man,

350
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:40.720
and have been a traveler in this
road many a day, and I

351
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:45.599
have taken notice of many things.
I have seen some that have set out

352
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.119
as if they would drive all the
world before them, who yet have in

353
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:53.039
a few days died as they in
the wilderness, and so never got sight

354
00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:59.119
of the promised land. I have
seen some that have promised nothing at first

355
00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:03.640
setting out be pilgrims, and who
one would have thought could not have lived

356
00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:08.359
a day, that have yet proved
very good pilgrims. I have seen some

357
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:14.519
who have run hastily forward, that
again have after a little time, run

358
00:30:14.599 --> 00:30:18.839
just as fast back again. I
have seen some who have spoken very well

359
00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:23.319
of a pilgrim's life at first,
that after a while have spoken as much

360
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:29.880
against it. I have heard some, when they first set out for paradise

361
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:33.920
say positively, there is such a
place, who, when they have been

362
00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:37.640
almost there, have come back again
and said there is none. I have

363
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:41.119
heard some vaunt what they would do
in case they should be a post,

364
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:47.559
that have even at a false alarm
fled Faith the pilgrim's way and awe.

365
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.319
Now as they were thus on their
way, they came one running to meet

366
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.880
them, and said, gentlemen,
and you of the weaker sort, if

367
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.799
you love life, shift for yourself
else, for the robbers are before you.

368
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:10.079
Mister Greatheart. Then said mister Greatheart, they be the three that set

369
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:15.480
upon little Faith. Heretofore well said
he. We are ready for them.

370
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.759
So they went on their way.
Now they looked at every turning when they

371
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:23.599
should have met with the villains.
But whether they heard of mister Greatheart,

372
00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.960
or whether they had some other game, they came not up to the pilgrims.

373
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.640
Christiana then wished for an inn to
refresh herself and her children, because

374
00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:38.519
they were weary. Then said,
mister honest, there is one and little

375
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:45.960
before us. We were a very
honorable disciple, one Gaius Dwells, Romans

376
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:52.359
sixteen twenty three. So they all
concluded to turn in thither and the rather

377
00:31:52.519 --> 00:31:56.119
because the old gentleman gave him so
good a report. When they came to

378
00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.799
the door, they went in not
knocking, for folks used not to knock

379
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:04.519
at the door of an inn.
Then they called for the master of the

380
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.960
house, and he came to them. So they asked if they might lie

381
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:14.119
there that night. Gaius, yes, gentlemen, if you be true men,

382
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:19.440
for my house is for none but
pilgrims. Then were Christiana, Mercy

383
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.279
and the boys. The more glad
for that the innkeeper was a lover of

384
00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:27.799
pilgrims. So they called for rooms, and he showed them one for Christiana

385
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:31.480
and her children and Mercy, and
another for mister Greatheart and the old gentleman.

386
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:39.279
Mister Greatheart, then said mister Greatheart, good, Gaius, what hast

387
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:44.319
thou for supper? For these pilgrims
have come far today and are weary.

388
00:32:46.519 --> 00:32:52.240
Gaius, it is late, said
Gaius, so we cannot conveniently go out

389
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:54.680
to seek food. But such as
we have you shall be welcome to.

390
00:32:55.160 --> 00:33:01.880
If that will content, is the
great Heart. We will be content with

391
00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:06.480
what thou hast in the house,
for as much as I have proved thee

392
00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:12.119
thou art never destitute of that which
is convenient. Then he went down and

393
00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.160
spent to the cook, whose name
was Taste that which is good, to

394
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:20.960
get ready supper for so many pilgrims. This done, he comes up again,

395
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:23.599
saying, come, my good friends. You are welcome to me,

396
00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:28.400
and I am glad that I have
a house to entertain you in. And

397
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:32.079
while supper is making ready, if
you please, let us entertain one another

398
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:39.920
with some good discourse, so they
all said content. Gaius then said Gaius,

399
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.039
whose wife is this aged matron?
And whose daughter is this young damsel?

400
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:52.680
Mister greatheart, This woman is the
wife of one Christian, the pilgrim

401
00:33:52.680 --> 00:33:57.720
of former times, and these are
his four children. The maid is one

402
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:01.039
of her acquaintance, one that she
had persuaded to come with her on pilgrimage.

403
00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:06.720
The boys take all after their father, and covert to tread in his

404
00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:09.559
steps. Yea. If they do, but see any place where the old

405
00:34:09.559 --> 00:34:14.960
pilgrim hath lain, or any print
of his foot, it ministereth joy to

406
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:21.000
their hearts, and they covert to
lie or tread in the same. Gaius

407
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.800
then said, Gaius, is this
Christian's wife? And are these Christians children?

408
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:32.239
I knew your husband's father, yea, also his father's father. Many

409
00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:38.440
have been good of this stock.
Their ancestors dwelt first at Antioch Acts eleven

410
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:45.559
twenty six Christians, progenitors, I
suppose you have heard your husband talk of

411
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.280
them, were very worthy men.
They have, above any that I know,

412
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:54.239
showed themselves men of great virtue and
courage for the Lord of the pilgrims

413
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.760
his ways, and them that loved
him. I have heard of many of

414
00:34:59.800 --> 00:35:02.960
your husband's relations that have stood all
trials for the sake of the truth.

415
00:35:05.360 --> 00:35:07.719
Stephen, that was one of the
first of the family. From whence your

416
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:14.760
husband Sprang was knocked on the head
with stones Acts seven, fifty nine and

417
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:20.320
sixty James. Another of this generation
was slain with the age of the sword,

418
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:27.079
Acts twelve two. To say nothing
of Paul and Peter men anciently of

419
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:30.320
the family. From whence your husband
came. There was Ignacious who has cast

420
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:36.639
the lions. Romanus whose flesh was
cut by pieces from his bones, and

421
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:40.840
Polycarp that played the man in the
fire. There was he that was hanged

422
00:35:40.880 --> 00:35:45.480
up in a basket in the sun
for the wasps to eat, And he

423
00:35:45.599 --> 00:35:49.519
whom they put into a sack and
cast him into the sea to be drowned.

424
00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.480
It would be impossible utterly to count
up all of that family who have

425
00:35:54.599 --> 00:36:00.960
suffered injuries and death for the love
of a pilgrim's life. Nor can I

426
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:05.280
but be glad to see that thy
husband has left behind him four such boys

427
00:36:05.320 --> 00:36:09.480
as these. I hope they will
bear up their father's name and tread in

428
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:17.079
their father's steps, and come to
their father's end. Mister Greatheart. Indeed,

429
00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:22.599
Sir, they are likely lads.
They seem to choose heartily their father's

430
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:30.199
ways. Gaius, that is it
that I said. Wherefore Christian's family is

431
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:34.159
alike, still to spread abroad upon
the face of the ground, and yet

432
00:36:34.199 --> 00:36:37.840
to be numerous upon the face of
the earth. Let Christiana look out some

433
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:42.840
damsels for her sons, to whom
they may be betrothed, et cetera,

434
00:36:42.960 --> 00:36:46.480
that the name of their father and
the house of his progenitors may never be

435
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:53.599
forgotten in the world. Mister Honest, tis pity his family should fall and

436
00:36:53.679 --> 00:37:00.760
be extinct, Gaius, fall,
it cannot but be diminished. It may,

437
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:06.559
but let Christiana take my advice,
and that is the way to uphold

438
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:12.599
it. And Christiana said this Innkeeper. I am glad to see THEE and

439
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:16.840
thy friend Mercy together here a lovely
couple. And if I may advise,

440
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:23.119
take Mercy into a nearer relation to
THEE, if she will let her be

441
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:28.440
given to Matthew, thy eldest son. It is the way to preserve a

442
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:32.920
posterity in the earth. So this
match was concluded, and in process of

443
00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:40.960
time they were married. But more
of that hereafter. Jesus also proceeded and

444
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.760
said, I will now speak on
the behalf of women, to take away

445
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:51.360
their reproach. For as death and
the curse came into the world by a

446
00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:58.440
woman Genesis three, so also did
life and health. God set forth his

447
00:37:58.519 --> 00:38:04.960
son maid of a woman. And
Galatians four four yea to show how much

448
00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:08.480
they that came after to abhor the
act of the mother. This sex and

449
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:15.000
the Old Testament coveted children if happily
this or that woman might be the mother

450
00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:20.079
of the Savior of the world.
I will say again that when the Savior

451
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:25.880
was come, women rejoiced in him
before either men or angel. Luke one

452
00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:31.000
forty two to forty six. I
read not that ever any man did give

453
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:37.519
unto Christ so much as one groat, but the women followed him and ministered

454
00:38:37.559 --> 00:38:43.880
to him of their substance Luke eight
