The Pilgrim's Pꝛogreſs

Chr. It was as God would have it, for when I was under the fears of deſtruction, I did not know whither to go; but by chance there came a Man, even to me, (as I was trembling and weeping) whoſe name is b b How he got into the Way to Sion Evangeliſt and he directed me to the Wicket-Gate, which elſe I ſhould never found; and ſo ſet me into the way that hath led me directly to this Houſe.

Piety. But did you not come by the Houſe of the Interpreter?

Chr. Yes, and did ſee ſuch things there, the remembrance of which will flick by me as long as I live; ſpecially three c c A reherſal of what he ſaw in the way. things, to wit, How of what he Chriſt, in deſpite of Satan, maintains maintains work of Grace in the heart; how the Man had ſinned himſelf quite out of hopes of Gods mercy; and alſo the Dream of him that thought in his ſleep the day of Judgement was come.

Piety. Why? Did you hear him tell his Dream?

Chr. Yes, and a dreadful one it was. I thought it made my heart ake as he was telling of it, but yet I am glad I heard it.

Piety.
