334 and Faithful met Talkative? That same was also a notable one.

He was a confident fool; yet many follow his ways.

He had liked to have deceived Faithful.

Ay, but Christian put him into a way quickly to find him out.

Thus they went on till they came to the place where Evangelist met with Christian and Faithful, and foretold them what should befall them at Vanity Fair. Then said their guide, "Hereabouts did Christian and Faithful meet with Evangelist, who foretold them of their troubles which they should meet with at Vanity Fair."

Hon. Say you so? I dare say it was a hard chapter, then, that he did read unto them!

It was; but he gave them encouragement withal. But what do we talk of them? they were a couple of lion-like men: they had set their faces like flint. Do not you remember how undaunted they were when they stood before the judge?

Well. Faithful bravely suffered.

So he did, and as brave things came on't; for Hopeful and some others, as the story relates it, were converted by his death.

Well, but pray go on, for you are well acquainted with things.

Above all that Christian met with after he had passed through Vanity Fair, one Byends was the arch one.
