"Absolutely!" said Mr. Malice, "For I hate the very looks of him!" Then Mr. Love-lust remarked, "I could never stomach him!" "Neither could I!" added Mr. Live-loose, "For he would always be condemning my way!" "Hang him, hang him!" Mr. Heady demanded. "He is a sorry base fellow!" exclaimed Mr. High-mind. "My heart revolts against him!" sniveled Mr. Enmity. "He is a rogue!" Mr. Liar declared. "Hanging is too good for him!" snarled Mr. Cruelty. "Let us dispatch him out of the way!" snapped Mr. Hate-light. Then Mr. Implacable exclaimed, "I would not be reconciled to him for all the world! Therefore, let us immediately charge him to be deserving of death! ”And so they did. Therefore Faithful was condemned at once. He was taken from the court, and back to his cage — and from there, he was to be put to the most cruel death that could be invented. Then they brought him out, to punish him according to their law. First, they scourged him, then they buffeted him, then they lanced his flesh with knives! After that, they stoned him with stones, then pierced Page 144 of 253
him with their swords. Last of all, they burned him to ashes at the stake! Thus Faithful came to his end. Now I saw that behind the multitude, there was a chariot with horses waiting for Faithful, who, as soon as his adversaries had murdered him — was taken up into it. He was immediately carried up through the clouds, with the sound of the trumpet, to the nearest way to the Celestial Gate. But as for Christian, he had some reprieve, and was sent back to the prison — and remained there for a time. Then He who overrules all things, having power over the rage of His enemies in His own hand — so brought it about that Christian escaped from them, and went on his way. As he went, he sang, "Well, Faithful, you have faithfully professed, Unto your Lord, with Whom you shall be blessed, When faithless ones, with all their vain delights, Are crying out under their Hellish plights, Page 145 of 253
