THE AUTHOR'S WAY

OF SENDING FORTH HIS SECOND PART OF THE PILGRIM


 * O now, my little book, to every place
 * Where my first Pilgrim has but shown his face,
 * Call at the door. If any say, "Who's there?"
 * Then answer thou, "Christiana is here."
 * If they bid thee come in, then enter thou,
 * With all thy boys; and then, as thou know'st how,
 * Tell who they are, also from whence they came;
 * Perhaps they know them by their looks or name.


 * But, if they should not, ask them yet again
 * If formerly they did not entertain
 * One Christian, a Pilgrim. If they say
 * They did, and were delighted in his way,
 * Then let them know, that those related were
 * Unto him; yea his wife and children are.
