I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man\u003cbr\u003eclothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his\u003cbr\u003eown house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. I\u003cbr\u003elooked, and saw him open the book, and read therein; and as he read, he\u003cbr\u003ewept and trembled; and, not being able longer to contain, he brake out\u003cbr\u003ewith a lamentable cry, saying, \"What shall I do?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  [1] Bedford jail, in which Bunyan was twelve years a prisoner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this plight, therefore, he went home, and restrained himself as long\u003cbr\u003eas he could, that his wife and children should not perceive his\u003cbr\u003edistress; but he could not be silent long, because that his trouble\u003cbr\u003eincreased. Wherefore at length he brake his mind to his wife and\u003cbr\u003echildren; and thus he began to talk to them: \"Oh my dear wife,\" said he,\u003cbr\u003e\"and you my sweet children, I, your dear friend, am in myself undone by\u003cbr\u003ereason of a burden that lieth hard upon me; moreover, I am told to a\u003cbr\u003ecertainty that this our city will be burned with fire from heaven; in\u003cbr\u003ewhich fearful overthrow, both myself, with thee, my wife, and you, my\u003cbr\u003esweet babes, shall miserably come to ruin, except some way of escape\u003cbr\u003ecan be found whereby we may be delivered.\" At this all his family were\u003cbr\u003esore amazed; not for that they believed that what he had said to them\u003cbr\u003ewas true, but because they thought that some frenzy or madness had got\u003cbr\u003einto his head; therefore, it drawing towards night, and they hoping that\u003cbr\u003esleep might settle his brain, with all haste they got him to bed. But\u003cbr\u003ethe night was as troublesome to him as the day; wherefore, instead of\u003cbr\u003esleeping, he spent it in sighs and tears. So when the morning was come,\u003cbr\u003ethey would know how he did. He told them, Worse and worse: he also set\u003cbr\u003eto talking to them again; but they began to be hardened. They also\u003cbr\u003ethought to drive away his madness by harsh and surly treatment of him:\u003cbr\u003esometimes they would ridicule, sometimes they would chide, and sometimes\u003cbr\u003ethey would quite neglect him. Wherefore he began to retire himself to\u003cbr\u003ehis chamber, to pray for and pity them, and also to sorrow over his own\u003cbr\u003emisery; he would also walk solitary in the fields, sometimes reading,\u003cbr\u003eand sometimes praying; and thus for some days he spent his time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Sidenote: CHRISTIAN'S DISTRESS OF MIND]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, I saw, upon a time, when he was walking in the fields, that he was\u003cbr\u003e(as he was wont) reading in his book, and greatly distressed in his\u003cbr\u003emind; and as he read, he burst out as he had done before, crying, \"What\u003cbr\u003eshall I do to be saved?\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI saw also that he looked this way and that way, as if he would run; yet\u003cbr\u003ehe stood still, because (as I perceived) he could not tell which way to\u003cbr\u003ego. I looked then, and saw a man named Evangelist coming to him, who\u003cbr\u003easked, \"Wherefore dost thou cry?\"","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083769037040,"sku":"2940014515894","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014515894_p0.jpg?v=1763610504","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014515894","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
