<p>Secondly, Thou must abhor his labouring to render the cross odious unto thee; for thou art to prefer it “before the treasures in Egypt.”<a href="endnotes.xhtml#note-63" id="noteref-63" epub:type="noteref">63</a> Besides, the King of glory hath told thee, that he that “will save his life shall lose it.”<a href="endnotes.xhtml#note-64" id="noteref-64" epub:type="noteref">64</a> And, “He that comes after Him, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple.”<a href="endnotes.xhtml#note-65" id="noteref-65" epub:type="noteref">65</a> I say, therefore, for man to labour to persuade thee, that that shall be thy death, without which, <em>The Truth</em> hath said, thou canst not have eternal life; this doctrine thou must abhor.</p>
<p>Thirdly, Thou must hate his setting of thy feet in the way that leadeth to the ministration of death. And for this thou must consider to whom he sent thee, and also how unable that person was to deliver thee from thy burden.</p>
<p>He to whom thou wast sent for ease, being by name Legality, is the son of the bond woman which now is, and is in bondage with her children;<a href="endnotes.xhtml#note-66" id="noteref-66" epub:type="noteref">66</a> and is, in a mystery, this mount Sinai, which thou hast feared will fall on thy head. Now, if she, with her children, are in bondage, how canst thou expect by them to be made free? This Legality, therefore, is not able to set thee free from thy burden. No man was as yet ever rid of his burden by him; no, nor ever is like to be: ye cannot be justified by the works of the law; for by the deeds of the law no man living can be rid of his burden: therefore, <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Worldly-wiseman is an alien, and <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Legality is a cheat; and for his son Civility, notwithstanding his simpering looks, he is but a hypocrite, and cannot help thee. Believe me, there is nothing in all this noise, that thou hast heard of these sottish men, but a design to beguile thee of thy salvation, by turning thee from the way in which I had set thee. After this, Evangelist called aloud to the heavens for confirmation of what he had said: and with that there came words and fire out of the mountain under which poor Christian stood, that made the hair of his flesh stand up. The words were thus pronounced: “As many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, Cursed is everyone that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.”<a href="endnotes.xhtml#note-67" id="noteref-67" epub:type="noteref">67</a></p>
<p>Now Christian looked for nothing but death, and began to cry out lamentably; even cursing the time in which he met with <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Worldly-wiseman; still calling himself a thousand fools for hearkening to his counsel: he also was greatly ashamed to think that this gentleman’s arguments, flowing only from the flesh, should have the prevalency with him as to cause him to forsake the right way. This done, he applied himself again to Evangelist, in words and sense as follows:-</p>

<p><b><abbr epub:type="z3998:given-name">Chr.</abbr></b> Sir, what think you? Is there hope? May I now go back, and go up to the wicket-gate? Shall I not be abandoned for this, and sent back from thence ashamed? I am sorry I have hearkened to this man’s counsel. But may my sin be forgiven?</p>
<p><b><abbr epub:type="z3998:given-name">Evan.</abbr></b> Then said Evangelist to him, Thy sin is very great, for by it thou hast committed two evils; thou hast forsaken the way that is good, to tread in forbidden paths; yet will the man at the gate receive thee, for he has goodwill for men; only, said he, take heed that thou turn not aside again, “lest thou perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little.”<a href="endnotes.xhtml#note-68" id="noteref-68" epub:type="noteref">68</a> Then did Christian address himself to go back; and Evangelist, after he had kissed him, gave him one smile, and bid him Godspeed. So he went on with haste, neither spake he to any man by the way; nor, if any asked him, would he vouchsafe them an answer. He went like one that was all the while treading on forbidden ground, and could by no means think himself safe, till again he was got into the way which he left, to follow <abbr>Mr.</abbr> Worldly-wiseman’s counsel. So, in process of time, Christian got up to the gate. Now, over the gate there was written, “Knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”<a href="endnotes.xhtml#note-69" id="noteref-69" epub:type="noteref">69</a></p>
<p>He knocked, therefore, more than once or twice, saying⁠—</p>
