THE AUTHOR'S WAY
OF SENDING FORTH HIS SECOND PART OF THE PILGRIM

GO now, my little book, to every place
Where my first Pilgrim has but shown his face,
Call at the door. If any say, "Who's there?"
Then answer thou, "Christiana is here."
If they bid thee come in, then enter thou,
With all thy boys; and then, as thou know'st how,
Tell who they are, also from whence they came;
Perhaps they know them by their looks or name.
But, if they should not, ask them yet again
If formerly they did not entertain
One Christian, a Pilgrim. If they say
They did, and were delighted in his way,
Then let them know, that those related were
Unto him; yea his wife and children are.
