The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

Then Christian and Hopeful looked upon one another with tears
gushing out — yet they said nothing to the Shepherds.
Then I saw in my dream, that the Shepherds led them to another place,
where there was a door in the side of a hill. They opened the door, and
bid the Pilgrims to look in. Peering in, they saw that it was very dark and
smoky. They also thought that they heard a rumbling noise as of fire,
and a cry of some who were tormented, and that they smelled the scent
of brimstone.
"What does this mean?" Christian inquired.
The Shepherds told them, "This is a Byway to Hell — a way that
hypocrites go. Namely, such as sell their birthright — with Esau. And
such as sell their master — with Judas. And such as blaspheme the
Gospel — with Alexander. And such as lie and deceive — with Ananias
and his wife Sapphira."
Then Hopeful questioned the Shepherds, "I perceive that all of these
once had a reputation as being Pilgrims, just as we do — had they not?”
SHEPHERDS: "Yes, and some held to it for a long time, too.”
HOPEFUL: "How far they went on in pilgrimage — yet notwithstanding,
they were thus miserably cast away!"
SHEPHERDS: "Some not so far as these mountains — and some went
further.
