And with that, Apollyon ſpred forth his Dragons wings, and ſped him away, that Chriſtian'' for a ſeaſon ſaw him no more.

I never ſaw him all the while, give ſo much as one pleaſant look, till he perceived he had wounded Apollyon with his two edged Sword, then indeed he did ſmile, and look upward: but 'twas the dreadfulleſt fight that ever I ſaw.
