When christians unto carnal men give ear,
Out of their way they go and pay for't dear,
For master Worldly-wiseman can but show

A saint the way to bondage and to woe.

Page 27. The Gate represents Christ himself, as received by the penitent sinner for all the purposes of salvation. Scot.

These following lines are here inserted under an engraving:

He that would enter in, must first without

Stand knocking at the gate, nor need he doubt

That is a knocker, but to enter in :

For God can love him and forgive his sin.

31. The Interpreter represents the teaching of

the Holy Spirit according to the Scripture.

32. This is the true picture of a gospel minister, one whom the Lord has called and qualified for preaching the everlasting gospel.

39. Such is the disposition of a soul that is determined to win Christ and enjoy the kingdom of glory.--In spite of all opposition he resolutely forces bis way, and presses towards the mark for the prize of his high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Mason.

52. The hill difficulty represents those seasons and situations which require peculiar self-denial and difficult exertion.

The following verses are here inserted;

Shall they who wrong begin yet rightly end;
Shall they at all have safety for their friend?
No, no; in headstrong manner they set out,
And headlong they will fall at last no doubt.

54. The pleasant arbour is a word of grace.

59. This house means a visible church of Christ, to which he might be joined, and enjoy the blessing and comfort of the communion of saints. Mason.

In the old copies are the foilowing lines;
Difficulty is behind, fear is before,

Though he's got on the hill, the lions roar ;

A christian man is seldom well at ease

When one fright's o'er another doth him seize. Page 68. The celebration of the Lord's supper is here emblematically described.

72. The Delectable mountains, as seen at a distance, denote those distinct views of the privileges and consolations attainable in this life, with which christians are sometimes favoured, when attending on divine ordinances, or diligently making a subsequent improvement of them. -78. Christian was wounded in his understanding, faith, and conversation.

79. Beside the verses by which Christian gave thanks to his great deliverer, we meet in the old copies with these lines:

A more unequal fight can hardly be,

Christian must fight an angel; but, you see,
The valiant man, by handling sword and shield,
Doth make him, though a dragon, quit the field.

80. The Valley of the Shadow of death seems intended to represent a variety of inward discouragements, distress, conflict, and alarm, which arise from prevailing darkness of mind, and want of lively spiritual affection; by which a man is rendered reluctant to religious duties, and heartless in performing them; and this makes way for manifold fears, dangers, and temptations. Scot.

84. The following lines are in here:

Poor man, where art thou now, thy day is night;
Good man! be not cast down, thou yet art right :
The way to heaven lies by the gates of hell,
Cheer up, hold out, with thee it shall go well.

87. This ascent may denote those moments of encouragement in which tempted believers rise superior to their difficulties; and are animated to desire the company of their brethren, whom dejection, under humiliating experiences, disposes them to shun. Scot.

119. Vanity fair represents the wretched state of things, in those populous places, especially where true religion is neglected and persecuted; and indeed of the

whole world lying in wickedness, as distinguished from the church of redeemed sinners. Scot.

lines :

120. Here are inserted the following lines: Behold Vanity Fair, the Pilgrims there

Are chained and stoned beside;

Even so it was when our Lord passed here,
And on mount Calvary died.

130. Faithful's defence is introduced by these

Now Faithful play the man, speak for thy God;
Fear not the wicked's malice nor his rod :
Speak boldly man, the truth is on thy side;
Die for it and to life in triumph ride.

133. The following lines are here introduced;
Brave Faithful! bravely done in word and deed,
Judge, witnesses, and jury have, instead
Of overcoming thee, but shewn their rage,
When thou art dead, thou'lt live from age to age
156. These lines are here inserted :

The Pilgrims now, to gratify the flesh,
Will seek its ease; but, oh! how they afresh
Do thereby plunge themselves new griefs into !
Who seek to please the flesh themselves undo.

163. The Delectable Mountains seem intended to represent those calm seasons of peace and comfort which consistent believers often experience in their old age. Scot. The following lines are added here:

Mountains delectable they now ascend,

Where Shepherds be, who to them do commend
Alluring things, and things that cautions are:

Pilgrims are steady kept by faith and fear.

182. The way which seemed as straight as the right way, and, in entering of which, there was no stile to climb over, must denote some very plausible and gradual deviation from the simplicity of the gospel, in principle or practice. Scct.

188. The enchanted ground may represent a state of worldly prosperity, joined with freedom from trials.

Page 217. Perhaps the author hers alluded to those preintimations of death which some persons seem to receive; and he seems to have ascribed them to guardian angels watching over every believer. Death, and admission into the city, were the only difficulties that awaited the Pilgrims.

297. These lines are here introduced under a plate. Behold here how the slothful are a sign

Hung up 'cause holy ways they did decline: See here too, how the child doth play the man, The weak grows strong when Greatheart leads the van. 304. Grim, or Bloody-man, seems intended to represent persecutors, who sought to deter christians from the communion of the saints, but were conquered through the example and exhortations of such courageous combatants, as encouraged even the weak to overcome their fears.

334. Perhaps the shepherd's boy may refer to the obscure but quiet station of some pastors over small congregations, who live almost unknown to their brethren, but are, in a measure, useful and very comfortable.

343. Giant Maul appears to represent formal superstitious teachers and speculative moralists.

oopery.

392. The monster here described seems to mean

400. The following lines are here added;
Though Doubting Castle be demolished,
And Giant Despair too hath lost his head;
Sin can rebuild the Castle, make't remain,
And make Despair the Giant live again.

410. These seem to represent certain wild enthusiasts, who, without having duly considered any religious subject, assault believers with specious reasonings, cavilling objections, confident assertions, and uncharitable censures.
