all these things?'

"_Christian._ 'Yes, and they put me in hope and fear.'

"_Interpreter._ 'Well, keep all things so in thy mind that they
may be as a goad in thy sides, to prick thee forward in the way
thou must go.'

"Then Christian began to gird up his loins, and to address himself
to his journey.

"Then said the Interpreter, 'The Comforter be always with thee,
good Christian, to guide thee in the way that leads to the city.'

"So Christian went on his way.

"Now I saw in my dream that the highway up which Christian had to
go was fenced on either side with a wall, and that wall was called
Salvation. Up this way, therefore, did burdened Christian run,
but not without great difficulty, because of the load on his back.
He ran thus till he came at a place somewhat ascending, and upon
that place stood a cross, and a little below in the bottom a
sepulchre.

"So I saw in my dream that just as Christian came up with the
cross, his burden loosed from off his shoulders, and fell from off
his back, and began to tumble, and so continued to do till it came
to the mouth of the sepulchre, where it fell in, and I saw it no
more.
