paved with gold, and on them walked many men, with crowns on their heads, palms in their hands, and golden harps to sing praises with! There were also some angelic beings with wings, and they sang back and forth without intermission, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord!" After that, they closed up the gates. When I had seen all of this — I wished that I myself was among them. Now while I was gazing upon all these things, I turned my head to look back, and saw Ignorance come up to the river side. He soon got over the river, and without half of the difficulty which Christian and Hopeful met with. For it happened that one called Vain-hope, a ferryman, was there — and with his boat he helped Ignorance cross the river. Then I saw that Ignorance ascended the hill, and came up to the gate all alone. There was no man to meet him with the least encouragement. When he arrived at the gate, he looked up to the writing that was above it, and then began to knock — supposing that entrance would quickly be given to him. But he was asked by the men who looked over the top of the gate, "Where have you come from? What do you want?" He answered them, "I have eaten and drank in the presence of the King — and He has taught in our streets!” Then they asked him for his certificate, that they might go in and show it to the King. So he fumbled in his bosom for one — but found none. Then they asked, "Have you no certificate?" But the man answered not a word. So they told the King about Ignorance — but He would not go down to Page 240 of 253
see him. Instead He commanded the two Shining Ones who had conducted Christian and Hopeful to the City — to go out and take Ignorance, bind him hand and foot, and cast him away. So they took Ignorance up, and carried him through the air, to the door which I had seen in the side of the hill — and threw him in there! Then I saw that there was a way to Hell, even from the very gates of Heaven — as well as from the city of Destruction! Page 241 of 253
