weary of my inward sickness; I would fain be where I shall die no
more, and with the Company that shall continually cry, _Holy, Holy,
Holy_.

Then said _Charity_ to _Christian_, Have you a family? Are you a
married man?

_Chr._ I have a Wife and four small Children.

_Char._ And why did you not bring them along with you?

_Chr._ Then _Christian_ wept, and said, Oh, how willingly would I have
done it, but they were all of them utterly averse to my going on
Pilgrimage.

_Char._ But you should have talked to them, and have endeavoured to
have shewen them the danger of being behind.

_Chr._ So I did, and told them also what God had shewed to me of the
destruction of our City; but I seemed to them as one that mocked, and
they believed me not.

_Char._ And did you pray to God that he would bless your counsel to
them?

_Chr._ Yes, and that with much affection; for you must think that my
Wife and poor Children were very dear unto me.

_Char._ But did you tell them of your own sorrow, and fear of
destruction? For I suppose that destruction was visible enough to you.
