ti?e t&tlartm’s p?ogrefe. 13 Timo. Well, I fee you have a mind to go a Fooling 3too ; butt^ke Heed in Time and be Wife; while we .f'are out of Danger, we are out; but when we'are in, f we are in. So.Mrs Timorous returned to her Houfe, ie‘ and Chrifiiana betook herfeif to her Journey But f when Timorous was got home to her Houfe, (he fends for fome of her Neighbours, to wit, Mr. Bat's-Eyest _? Mrs biconfderate, Mrs. Light-mind, and , Mrs. Know-nothing. So when they weie , Timorous ac- f come to her Houfe, fhe falls to filing quaints his f of the Story of Chrijiiana, and of her Friends what j intended Journey. And thus Ihe be- the good Chri- gan her Tale; _ & fFana intends y ngBi to do. , Timo. Neighbours, havinjPbut little to do this Mor- f ning, I went to give Chrifiiana a Viflt, and when I came at the Door, I knocked, as you know ’tis our Cuflom :• And Ihe anfwered. If you come in God's Name, r come in. ;So in I w ent, thinking all was well: But when I came in, I found her preparing herfeif to de¬ part the Town, fhe and alfo her Children. So I asked , her, what was htr Meaning by that ? And she told me in short, That she was now of a Mind to go on Pil- . grimage, as did her Husband. She told me alfo a Dream that she had, and how the King of the Coun¬ try where her Husband was, had fent her an inviting Letter to come thither. Then faid Mrs. Know-nothing, And Mrs. Know- what do you think Jhe will go 1 nothing. Timo. Ay, go she will, whatever come on’t; and methinks I know it by this; for that which was my great Argument toperfuade her to flay at Home, (to wit, the Troubles she was like to meet, with in the Way) is one great argument with her, to put her forward on her Journey. For she told me in fo many Words, The Bitter goes before the Sweet, v Yea and forafmuch as ic doth, it makes the Sweet the Sweeter. 1. i? /
