In The Similitude Of A Dream With Notes And Sketch
In this plight, therefore, he went home and refrained himself as long as he could, that his wife and children should not perceive his distress.
But he could not be silent long, because his trouble increased.
Wherefore at length, he brakes his mind to his wife and children, and thus he began to talk to them.
O my dear wife, said he, and you the children of my bowels, I, your dear friend, am in myself undone by reason of a burden that lieth hard upon me; moreover.
I am for certain informed that this our city will be burned with fire from heaven; in which fearful overthrow, both myself, with thee my wife, and you my sweet babes, shall miserably come to ruin, except (the which yet I see not) some way of escape can be found, whereby we may be delivered.
At this his relations were sore amazed; not for that they believed that what he had said to them was true, but because they thought that some frenzy distemper had got into his head; therefore.
It drawing towards night, and they hope that sleep might settle his brains, with all haste they got him to bed.
But the night was as troublesome to him as the day; wherefore, instead of sleeping, he spent it in sighs and tears.
So, when the morning came, they would know how he did. He told them, Worse and worse: he also set to talking to them again, but they began to be hardened.
They also thought to drive away his distemper by harsh and surly carriages to him; sometimes they would deride, sometimes they would chide, and sometimes they would quite neglect him.
Wherefore he began to retire himself to his chamber, to pray for and pity them, and also to condole his own misery.
He would also walk solitarily in the fields, sometimes reading, and sometimes praying: and thus for some days, he spent his time.
Now, I saw, upon a time, when he was walking in the fields, that he was, as he was wont, reading in his book, and greatly distressed in his mind; and, as he read, he burst out, as he had done before, crying, “What shall I do to be saved?”
Pli. At this Pliable began to be offended, and angrily said to his fellow, Is this the happiness you have told me all this while of?
If we have such ill speed at our first setting out, what may we expect between this and our journey’s end ? May I get out again with my life, you shall possess the brave country alone for me.
And with that he gave a desperate struggle or two, and got out of the mire on that side of the slough which was next to his own house : so away he went, and Christian saw him no more.
Wherefore Christian was left to tumble in the Slough of Despond alone ; but still he endeavored to struggle to that side of the slough that was farthest from his own house, and next to the wicket-gate ;
the which he did, but could not get out because of the burden that was upon his back : but I beheld in my dream, that a man came to him, whose name was Help, and asked him what he did there.
Chk. Sir, said Christian, I was bid to go this way by a man called Evangelist, who directed me also to yonder gate, that I might escape the wrath to come. And as I was going thither, I fell in here.
Help. But why did not you look for the steps ?
Cjhr. Fear followed me so hard that I fled the next way, and fell in.
Help. Then said he, Give me thine hand : so he gave him his hand, and he drew him out, and he set him upon sound ground, and bid him go on his way.
Then I stepped to him that plucked him out, and said, ” Sir, wherefore, since over tiiis place is the way from the city of Destruction to yonder gate, is it, that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security ? “
