Want of Religious Sympathy At Home
"Pilgrim's Progress."
John 7:1-18
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.…


When Bunyan's Pilgrim became alarmed about his state he found no sympathy from his friends. He told them of his fears, but "at this his relatives were sore amazed, nor for that they believed what he had said to them was true, but because they thought some frenzy distemper had got into his head, therefore, it drawing toward night, and they, hoping that sleep might settle his brains, with all haste they got him to bed. When the morning was come they would know how he did. He told them worse and worse. They thought to drive away his distemper by harsh and surly carriage to him; sometimes they would deride; sometimes they would chide, and sometimes they would quite neglect him."
