then in that place one Vain-Hope, a ferry-man, that with his boat helped him over; fo he, as the other, I faw, did ascend the hill, to come up to the gate, only he came alone; neither did any man meet him with the leaft encouragement. When he was come up to the gate, he looked up to the writing that was above, and then began to knock, fuppofing that entrance should have been quickly adminiftered to him: But he was asked by the men that looked over the top of the gate, Whence come you? And what he would have? He answered, I have eat and drank in the prefence of the King, and he has taught in our streets. Then they afked him for his certificate, that they might go in and fhew it to the King; fo he fumbled in his bofom for one, and found none. Then faid they, Have you none? But the man answered never a word. So they told the King, but he would not come down to fee him, but commanded the two fhining ones that conducted Chriftian and Hopeful to the city, to go out and take Ignorance, and bind him hand and foot, and have him. away. Then they took him up, and carried him through the air to the door that I faw on the fide of the hill, and put him in there. Then I faw that there was a way to Hell, even from the gates of Heaven, as well as from the city of Destruction.So I awoke, and behold it was a dream.

own imperfect perfonal obedience, they will fink beneath the weight of that tremendous woe, which declares that curfed is man that trufteth in man, and that maketh flesh his arm. The redeemed of the Lord will be received into heaven with fhouts of praife, and fongs of honor ;- and the finner fent to hell with eternal difgrace.

The

The CONCLUSION.

NOW, Reader, I have told my Dream to thee,

See if thou canst interpret it to me,

Or to thyself, or neighbour; but take beed
Of misinterpreting, for that, instead
Of doing good, will but thyself abuse:
By misinterpreting, evil enfues.

Take heed alfo that thou be not extreme,
In playing with the outfide of my dream:
Nor let my figure or fimilitude

Put thee into a laughter, or a feud:
Leave this for boys and fools; but as for thee,
Do thou the fubftance of my matter fee.
Put by the curtains, look within my veil,
Turn up my metaphors, and do not fail;
There, if thou feekeft them, fuch thing thou'lt find
As will be helpful to an honest mind.

What of my drofs thou findeft here, be bold
To throw away, but yet preferve the gold.
What if my gold be wrapped up in ore?
None throws away the apple for the core.
But if thou shalt caft all away as vain,
I know not but 'twill make me dream again.

WAY

Second Part of the PILGRIM.

Go now, my little BOOK, to every place,
Where my First Pilgrim has but fhewn his face:
Call at their door: if any fay, Who's there?
Then answer thou, CHRISTIANA is here.
If they bid thee Come in, then enter thou,
With all thy boys: and then thou knoweft how;
Tell who they are, also from whence they came;
Perhaps they know them by their looks or name:
But if they should not, afk them yet again,
If formerly they did not entertain
One Chriftian, a Pilgrim? If they fay
They did, and were delighted in his way,
Then let them know, that those related were
Unto him; yea, his wife and children are.
Tell them that they have left their house and home,
Are turned Pilgrims, feek a world to come:
That they have met with hardships in the way,
That they do meet with troubles night and day;
That they have trod on ferpents, fought with devils,
Have alfo overcome a many evils.

Yea, tell them alfo of the next who have,
Of love to Pilgrimage, been ftout and brave
Defenders of that way, and how they still
Refuse this world, to do their Father's will.
Go, tell them alfo of those dainty things,
That Pilgrimage unto the Pilgrims brings:
Let them acquainted be too, how they are
Beloved of their King, under his care;
