Enchanted Ground they enter the land of Beulah.

This leth upon the borders of heaven, in sight

of the Celestial City. Its beauties and its fruits.

Two shining oues meet them. To their conster-

nation, they are led to a river which separates

them from the city. The shining ones assure

them that they must go through it, and that only

Enoch and Elijah had found any other way to

the gate. They enter the river. Hopeful is calm,

bat Christian is almost in despair. The discovery

of jesus reassures him, and they reach the far-

fter bank, leaving their mortal garments in the

river. A convoy of angels conducts them above

the regions of the air to the gate. They present

their credentials, and enter upon the joy of their

Lord. Meanwhile, Ignorance crosses the river

with ease, with the aid of a ferryman named
Valu-hope. He ascends unattended to the gate
and knocks for admittance. Having no creden-
tials, he is rejected. Two shining ones are com-
man led to bear him through the air to the gate
of the pit in the hill side. There they thrust him
fa. So there is a way to hell from the very gate
of heaven...........

carefully catechised, and commended to the far-

ther instructions of their mother, the works of

nature, the Bible, and the Church...............197-203

ing that she leads a life of benevolence, retires in

tian's encounter with Apollyon, and the marks
of the fight. They enter the Valley of the Shadow

cordial welcome. The duty of Christians to be

married and to raise up a godly seed. A speech

on the behalf of woman, showing that though

she listened to Satan in Eden, she was the

mother of the Saviour. The supper at the inn,

and its courses. Gains exhorts them to "drink
freely" of the "pure blood of the grape," but
says nothing in favour of a beverage which if
used "freely" will produce the worst results

Matthew and Gaius fall into the common error

of supposing that the forbidden fruit of Eden

was the apple. The spiritual advantage of hav-

ing to crack "hard nuts" of doctrine. An after-

dinner riddle-how a man may give, and yet

have ten times more........ Pages 219-222

CHAP. XI. More riddles. The decays of nature in

the aged not to be confounded with the triumphs

of grace. An exercise in exegesis. They seek a

CHAP. XIII. They journey on slowly on account

of the feebleness of the women and children.

third Psalm, and are led "into green pastures

and by the still waters." The young mothers

commit their infant children to One who prom-

ises "to gather the lambs with his arms and

carry them in his bosom." Other provisions of

this covenant with believing parents. Mr. Great-

heart, Old Honest, and the four sons of Christi-

ana kill Giant Despair and demolish his castle.

They release Despondency and his daughter

Much-afraid. The pilgrims rejoice over this vic-

tory, and the cripple, Ready-to-halt, and Miss

Much-afraid indulge in a dance on the occasion,

which seems, unlike modern dancing, to have

had nothing lascivious or indecent about it. They

arrive at the Delectable Mountains, and are wel-

comed by the shepherds. They are shown the

wonders of the place. Mercy receives the present

of a wonderful mirror..

...........229-234

CHAP. XIV. They encounter another hero, one Mr.

Valiant-for-truth still covered with blood from

a recent conflict. They arrive at the Enchanted

Christian Behaviour, being the Fruits of True Christi-

anity; teaching Husbands, Wives, Parents, Children,

Masters, Servants, &c., how to Walk so as to please

God; with a Word of Direction to all Backsliders.

The epistle to the Reader. The Author writes to

show the relations of good works to faith, to

apply the doctrine to particular classes, to pre-

sent the subject in a compact form, to bear his

testimony to the power of faith to purify the

heart, and to induce Christians to do well the

special work assigned them. Pages 247, 218

PROPOSITION I. Good works do flow from faith:

1. They can have no other source. 2. Faith re-

veals proportionately the truth which excites to

good works. 3. Faith lays hold of the strength

of Christ, which enables the soul to practice good

works. Objection. Why is it so hard for men of

faith to practice good works? Answer, 1. Be-

cause they are weak in faith. 2. Faith sets up so

high a standard of good works that believers

undervalue their own attainments... 249-25%

PROPOSITION II. Every one that believeth should

be careful that his works are good. Men have

erred extensively both in works of doctrine and

of worship. Tests of a good work: 1. It must

have the word for its authority. 2. It must flow

from faith. 3. It must be rightly timed and

placed. 4. It must be done cheerfully.........252-254

Good works in the master of a family.-These must
have respect to its spiritual and outward wel-
fare. 1. He must rule it. 2. He must lead it to
public worship. 3. He must call godly men into
it. 4. He must attend to family devotions. 3.
He must exclude ungodly books.

In temporal things.-1. He must obtain a livell
hood for it. 2. He must be moderate in his labour.
3. He must insist upon harmony in the family,
not suffering children to domineer over servants
or over each other, counting a personal injury 25
slight, but an injury done to God of great impor
tance. In case of a believing wife, treat her as
Christ his Church. In case of an unbelieving
wife, with meekness instruct and recover her.

Good works in parents. To instruct and correct

their children

251-257

Good works in masters.-Get servants that fear God

if possible; or, if not, seek their conversion; not

overtasking them, nor threatening them, nor de-

ceiving them, nor circumventing them.....258, 39

Good works in a wife.-1. She should look upon her

husband as her head. 2. She should be subject

to him. 3. She should shun gossip, an idle

tongue, not usurping authority over her hus

band, avoiding immodest and showy apparel,

4. Yet she is not to be a slave, but to be in author-

ity next to her husband. All this to be especially

observed toward an unbelieving husband, and

still more toward a froward husband.........

....259-261

Good works in children.—To honour their parents,

to aid them to remember their love and care.

261-93

Good works in servants.-Faithfulness and obedi-

ence toward believing, unbelieving, and froward

masters

267,34

Good works in neighbours.-To be upright, kimi,

meek, discountenancing sin in them, guarding

the tongue, and a headstrong, obstinate way,

and eschewing covetousness, are duties among

neighbours........

Showing that Jesus Christ would have Mercy in the

first place offered to the Biggest Sinners; to which

is added an answer to those grand objections that lie

in the way of them that would believe, for the Com-

fort of those that fear they have sinned against the

Holy Ghost.

Introduction.

323, 321

The disciples were commanded to preach, "begin-

ning at Jerusalem." By a Jerusalem sinner,

Bunyan means one who has had peculiar privi-

leges and has attained peculiar depravity. His

proposition is, that Christ is willing to save the

biggest sinners.

325-330

I. The reason is-1. The biggest sinners have the
most need. 2. It redounds most to the fame
of his name. 3. It gives special encouragement
to others. 4. It specially weakens the kingdom
of Satan. 5. Such sinners, when converted. are

the best helps to the Church, because of the severe

contests with the devil they have in parting

from him, and because of their knowledge of his

secrets. 6. Such sinners are apt to love most.

The author here refers to a story that Mary of

Bethany was the same Mary who was a publie

sinner, and who anointed Jesus' feet at the house

of Simon. 7. Because grace finds the best matter

to kindle upon in such sinners. 8. By saving

such sinners, others are left more completely

without excuse..

...Pages 330-316

II. The application-1. Such salvation shows the
heart of Christ. 2. It shows the sufficiency of
the merits of Christ. 3. It gives encouragement
to all to come to Christ..

.316-366

The Holy War, made by Shaddai upon Diabolus

for the Regaining the Metropolis of the World;

or the Losing and Taking again of the Town of

Mansoul.

The Author's Preface (in verse). Answer to the

charge of plagiarism in the "Pilgrim's Progress,”

The history of Mansoul well known to many,

especially to the author. He knew Mansoul in

its sin and allegiance to Diabolus. He witnessed

the attack by Emmanuel, the final capture, and

the blessedness introduced by the victory. He

also was present through the long struggle which

followed for the final possession. He is then

uttering no fable, as many authors do........367-369

The continent of Universe. The fair and delicate

town of Mansoul-its beauty, dominion, defences,

and entrances

...870, 371

The history of Diabolus, the enemy of Mansoul;

his origin and fall. Diabolus has a consultation

with his officers, and it is agreed that Mansoul

shall be assaulted by Diabolus alone in the guise

of a familiar animal, concealing his intentions

by all manner of deceit, while one Tisiphone

should lie in ambuscade to shoot Captain Resist-

ance as soon as he should appear upon the walls.

371-373

Diabolus appears before Ear-gate and demands

audience of the chief men. While he is speak-

ing, Captain Resistance is shot. Ill-pause then

makes a speech. The people eat the forbidden

fruit, are made drunk thereby, and open the

gates to Diabolus and his crew. He is chosen

king. He deposes the Mayor, Lord Understand-

ing, and the Recorder, Mr. Conscience. He dark-

ens Understanding by building a wall before

the windows of his house. Debauches Con-

science, and then persuades Mansoul that the

Recorder is crazy.

..........373-376

Diabolus next makes Lord Wil-be-will his lieu-

tenant, with Mr. Vile-affections for his deputy.

The image of Shaddai defaced. Other officers of

Diabolus.

376-378

A message sent to Shaddai concerning these trans-

actions, who forms a plan with his son for the

reoccupation of Mansoul. Diabolus endeavours

to conceal this plan from Mansoul, induces them

to take a new oath of allegiance, proclaims un-

bounded liberty in all fleshly lusts, and arms the

people with an iron helmet to cover the head, a

breastplate to harden the heart, a tongue set on

fire of hell for a sword, the shield of unbelief, and

with a peculiar piece called "a dumb and prayer-

less spirit."

Meanwhile, Shaddai organizes an army under

Captains Boanerges, Conviction, Judgment,

and Execution, stout, rough-hewn men, whom

Shaddai was accustomed to put in the van

378-383

of his armies. They entrench in front of Ear-

gate........

·Pages 383, &

Diabolus makes a speech to the citizens which

sets them running about and crying, "The men

that have turned the world upside down are

come hither also.".........

381, 3-5

Boanerges utters his summons at Ear-gate, but

no one appears to listen. At last a conference

takes place, and each of the four captains de-

livers his message. They demand the imme-

diate surrender of Ill-pause. Their demands

refused by Mr. Incredulity, the mayor, who de-

clares his belief that they are no soldiers of the

King, but only vagabonds...

6་་་་

The attack commences, directed chiefly against
Ear-gate, but is unsuccessful. Mr. Tradition, Mr.
Human-wisdom, and Mr. Man's-invention en-
list in the army of Shaddai, but are taken pris-
oners, and enter the army of Diabolus under
Captain Anything. The captains succeed in
tearing off the roof from the house of Mr. Under-
standing with their missiles, so that he had much
more light than heretofore. They also kill Mr.
Swearing, Mr. Whoring, Mr. Fury, Mr. Stand-to-
lies, Mr. Drunkenness, and Mr. Cheating, and
dismount two great guns at Ear-gate, calicd
Heady and High-mind. Mansoul in constant
alarm day and night. Perplexed thoughts. Con-
science, the old recorder, utters words like greal
claps of thunder, so that the town would have
surrendered had it not been for old Incredulity
and the fickleness of Lord Will-be-will......30-21
At last, Lord Will-be-will proposes a surrender
upon conditions drawn up by Mr. Il-pause,
which are indignantly rejected. A mutiny in
Mansoul in consequence, convoked by Mr. Cən-
science and Lord Understanding, who are east
into prison by Diabolus.........
.........391-291

The captains send a petition to Shaddai for rein-

forcements. They are sent under command of

Prince Emmanuel.

844-05

The town now completely invested. Mounts are

erected against it, as Mount Gracious, with its

white flag, and Mount Justice, with its red flag.

Mansoul is silent. A parley between Emmanuel

and Diabolus, but in a language which Mansoul

cannot understand. Emmanuel then addresses

Mansoul directly, but double guards are set at

Ear-gate, and nothing is heard....................357-491

An attack is then prepared, when Mr. Loth-to-
stoop appears and proposes to surrender half
the town to Emmanuel. This rejected, he pro-
poses that Diabolus shall have a private place
within to live in, and Emmanuel all the rest.
This rejected, he proposes that Diabolus susti
enjoy the hospitalities of the town on an occa-
sional visit. This rejected, he proposes that the
Diabolonians of the town be allowed to remaia
unmolested..

Other similar propositions being rejected, a gene-
ral attack commences by all the captains..402-404
Diabolus then vainly proposes reformation instenl
of surrender.
404, 405
Ear-gate is broken down, and Emmanuel's forces
enter. They force the strong castle of Mr. Con-
science, who is full of fear and perplexity. In-
pause slain. A capitulation proposed. Noanswer
returned, since the proposal came only from
Lord Understanding and Mr. Consciener. The
castle of Diabolus forced. He is summoned
from his den by Emmanuel in person, stripped
of his armour, and exhibited in the market-place
and sent away into a salt desert. Mr. Conscience,
