that they touched not the Common Prayer, etc., but to mind the Word

of God, which giveth direction to Christians in every point, being



able to make the man of God perfect in all things through faith in

Jesus Christ, and thoroughly to furnish him unto all good works. 2



Tim. iii. 17. Also how I having, I say, somewhat more liberty, did

go to see the Christians at LONDON; which my enemies hearing of,



were so angry, that they had almost cast my jailor out of his

place, threatening to indict him, and to do what they could against



him. They charged me also, that I went thither to plot and raise

division, and make insurrection, which, God knows, was a slander;



whereupon my liberty was more straitened than it was before; so

that I must not now look out of the door. Well, when the next



sessions came, which was about the 10th of the 11th month (1661), I

did expect to have been very roundly dealt withal; but they passed



me by, and would not call me, so that I rested till the assizes,

which was held the 19th of the first month (1662) following; and



when they came, because I had a desire to come before the judge, I

desired my jailor to put my name into the calendar among the



felons, and made friends of the judge and high-sheriff, who

promised that I should be called: so that I thought what I had



done might have been effectual for the obtaining of my desire: but

all was in vain; for when the assizes came, though my name was in



the calendar, and also though both the judge and sheriff had

promised that I should appear before them, yet the justices and the



clerk of the peace, did so work it about, that I, notwithstanding,

was deferred, and was not suffered to appear: and although I say,



I do not know of all their carriages towards me, yet this I know,

that the clerk of the peace (Mr Cobb) did discover himself to be



one of my greatest opposers: for, first he came to my jailor and

told him that I must not go down before the judge, and therefore



must not be put into the calendar; to whom my jailor said, that my

name was in already. He bid him put it out again; my jailor told



him that he could not: for he had given the judge a calendar with

my name in it, and also the sheriff another. At which he was very



much displeased, and desired to see that calendar that was yet in

my jailor's hand, who, when he had given it him, he looked on it,



and said it was a false calendar; he also took the calendar and

blotted out my accusation, as my jailor had written it (which



accusation I cannot tell what it was, because it was so blotted

out), and he himself put in words to this purpose: That John



Bunyan was committed to prison; being lawfully convicted for

upholding of unlawful meetings and conventicles, etc. But yet for



all this, fearing that what he had done, unless he added thereto,

it would not do, he first ran to the clerk of the assizes; then to



the justices, and afterwards, because he would not leave any means

unattempted to hinder me, he came again to my jailor, and told him,



that if I did go down before the judge, and was released, he would

make him pay my fees, which he said was due to him; and further,



told him, that he would complain of him at the next quarter

sessions for making of false calendars, though my jailor himself,



as I afterwards learned, had put in my accusation worse than in

itself it was by far. And thus was I hindered and prevented at



that time also from appearing before the judge: and left in

prison.



Farewell.

JOHN BUNYAN.



A CONTINUATION OF Mr BUNYAN'S LIFE; BEGINNING WHERE HE LEFT OFF,

AND CONCLUDING WITH THE TIME AND MANNER OF HIS DEATH AND BURIAL:



TOGETHER WITH HIS TRUE CHARACTER, ETC.

READER, the painful and industrious author of this book, has



already given you a faithful and very moving relation of the

beginning and middle of the days of his pilgrimage on earth; and



since there yet remains somewhat worthy of notice and regard, which

occurred in the last scene of his life, the which, for want of



time, or fear, some over-censorious people should impute it to him

as an earnest coveting of praise from men, he has not left behind



him in writing. Wherefore, as a true friend, and long acquaintance

of Mr BUNYAN'S that his good end may be known, as well as his evil



beginning, I have taken upon me, from my knowledge, and the best

account given by other of his friends, to piece this to the thread



too soon broke off, and so lengthen it out to his entering upon

eternity.



He has told you at large, of his birth and education; the evil

habits and corruptions of his youth; the temptations he struggled



and conflicted so frequently with, the mercies, comforts, and

deliverances he found, how he came to take upon him the preaching" target="_blank" title="n.说教 a.说教的">preaching
