John Bunyan and the Pilgrim’s Progress
Fisher's Drawing Room Scrap Book, 1836. Behold how he engageth all his Wits, Also his Snares, Lines, Angles, Hooks, and Nets. So when he was got in, the man of the Gate asked him who directed him thither? Then Prudence thought good to ask him a few questions, and desired his answer to them. Then said Christian to the Porter, Sir, what house is this?

Who was that that bid him forbear? Now, whereas thou sawest that so soon as the first began to sweep, the dust did so fly about that the Room by him could not be cleansed, but that thou wast almost choaked therewith; this is to shew thee, that the Law, instead of cleansing the heart by its working from sin, doth revive, put strength into, and increase it in the soul, even as it doth discover and forbid it, for it doth not give power to subdue. Must here be the beginning of my bliss? If it be good, I will; for I stand in need of good counsel.
The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan Plot Summary
Yea, dark or bright, if they their Silver drops Cause to descend, the Earth, by yielding Crops, Gives praise to both, and carpeth not at either, But treasures up the Fruit they yield together; Yea, so commixes both, that in her Fruit None can distinguish this from that: they suit Her well, when hungry; but, if she be full, She spues out both, and makes their blessings null. They shewed him Moses' Rod; the Hammer and Nail with which Jael slew Sisera; the Pitchers, Trumpets and Lamps too, with which Gideon put to flight the Armies of Midian: Then they shewed him the Ox's goad wherewith Shamgar slew six hundred men: They shewed him also the Jaw-bone with which Samson did such mighty feats: They shewed him moreover the Sling and Stone with which David slew Goliah of Gath; and the Sword also with which their Lord will kill the Man of Sin, in the day that he shall rise up to the prey. Bunyan died in 1688. What is your name? There was also in the same place two other ways besides that which came straight from the Gate; one turned to the left hand and the other to the right, at the bottom of the Hill; but the narrow way lay right up the Hill, and the name of the going up the side of the Hill is called Difficulty. Now he had not run far from his own door, but his Wife and Children, perceiving it, began to cry after him to return; but the Man out his fingers in his ears, and ran on, crying Life! So when I came to myself again I cried him mercy; but he said, I know not how to shew mercy; and with that knocked me down again. Nay, I think I may say, that if what they saw in me did hinder them, it was in my great tenderness in sinning against God, or of doing any wrong to my Neighbor.

Along a road filled with monsters and spiritual terrors, Christian confronts such emblematic characters as Worldly Wiseman, Giant Despair, Talkative, Ignorance, and the demons of the Valley of the Shadow of Death. He went thus till he came again within sight of the Arbor where he sat and slept; but that sight renewed his sorrow the more, by bringing again, even afresh, his evil of sleeping into his mind. And as he was troubled thereabout he espied two men come tumbling over the Wall, on the left hand of the narrow way; and they made up apace to him. And this truly resembleth Talkative; he cheweth the Cud, he seeketh knowledge, he cheweth upon the Word; but he divideth not the Hoof, he parteth not with the way of sinners; but as the Hare, he retaineth the foot of a Dog or Bear, and therefore is unclean. I am now a man of Despair, and am shut up in it, as in this Iron Cage. In a word, it is every whit dreadful, being utterly without Order. He doth not lay the blessing in the knowing of them, but in the doing of them.
She wonders if Christiana will actually go on pilgrimage. Till I could stay no longer; for there was great talk presently after you were gone out, that our City would in short time with Fire from Heaven be burned down to the ground. After 30years the show is again attracting attention both locally and abroad and the score and libretto are being updated and made more flexible for large and small productions. I could not tell what to say at first. Then I saw in my Dream they went very lovingly on together, and had sweet discourse of all things that had happened to them in their Pilgrimage; and thus Christian began: Chr. In 1671, while still in prison, he was chosen as pastor of the Bedford Meeting. The Lions were chained, but he saw not the chains.
But how doth it happen that you come so late? As of 2007 the original version is difficult to find, but the 1978 version has been released on both VHS and DVD. How is it then thou hast run away from thy King? He is the son of one Say-well; he dwelt in Prating Row; and is known of all that are acquainted with him, by the name of Talkative in Prating Row; and notwithstanding his fine tongue, he is but a sorry fellow. And what company shall we have there? He is known to Christian as a fellow resident of the City of Destruction, living on Prating Row. Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? Surely this man will make a very excellent Pilgrim. If I go back to mine own country, that is prepared for Fire and Brimstone, and I shall certainly perish there. May we but stand before impartial men, To his poor One I dare adventure Ten, That they will take my meaning in these lines Far better than his lies in Silver Shrines.
So after he had received and given many wounds to those that attempted to keep him out, he cut his way through them all, and pressed forward into the Palace, at which there was a pleasant voice heard from those that were within, even of those that walked upon the top of the Palace, saying, Come in, Come in; Eternal Glory thou shalt win.

Faithful is burned to death, but Christian breaks out of jail before he can suffer the same fate, and Hopeful helps to smuggle him away … only for them both to be imprisoned again, this time by the Giant named Despair, who lives at Doubting Castle. Then said Christian, What means this? This done, they went to their rest again. I come from the City of Destruction, but am going to Mount Zion, that I may be delivered from the wrath to come.

And last she asked his name; so he said, It is Christian, and I have so much the more a desire to lodge here to-night, because, by what I perceive, this place was built by the Lord of the Hill, for the relief and security of Pilgrims.
I slept in the Arbor that stands on the Hillside; nay, I had notwithstanding that, been here much sooner, but that in my sleep I lost my evidence, and came without it to the brow of the Hill; and then feeling for it, and finding it not, I was forced with sorrow of heart to go back to the place where I had slept my sleep, where I found it, and now I am come. Feeble-Mind lingers in order to be left behind, he is encouraged to accompany the party by Greatheart. The Westminster Review, Volume 138. How is it then that thou art so quickly turned aside? No, not I, said the other, because I have laid my hand to the Plow. Well, at my first setting out, I had hopes of that man; but now I fear he will perish in the overthrow of the City, for it is happened to him according to the true Proverb, The Dog is turned to his Vomit again, and the Sow that was washed to her wallowing in the Mire.
