Mr. Gifford made it much his business to deliver the people of God from all those false and unsound rests that by nature we are prone to make and take to our souls. He pressed us to take special heed that we took not up any truth upon trust as from this or that, or any other man or men but to cry mightily to God that He would convince us of the reality thereof, and set us down therein by his own Spirit in the holy word.

Hanging is too good for him said Mr. Cruelty.John Bunyan
Such is the effect of the grace of God in the heart of a pilgrim while on one hand he sees the propensity of his evil nature to every sin which has been committed by others, and is humbled he also confesses, that, by no power of his own, is he preserved, but ever gives the glory to the God of all grace, by whose power alone he is kept from falling.
John Bunyan
As I walked through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place where was a Den, and I laid me down in that place to sleep and, as I slept, I dreamed a dream. I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. I looked, and saw him open the book, and read therein and, as he read, he wept, and trembled and, not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry, saying, What shall I do.
John Bunyan
They are for religion when in rags and contempt, but I am for him when he walks in his golden slippers in the sunshine and with applause.
John Bunyan
My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it.
