Be not afraid, however; with the hand of that appearance Mr.
Honest will get safe across.
Yet perhaps it is in sequences that this artist best displays himself.
He loves to look at either side of a thing: as, for instance, when he shows us both sides of the wall--'Grace Inextinguishable' on the one side, with the devil vainly pouring buckets on the flame, and 'The Oil of Grace' on the other, where the Holy Spirit, vessel in hand, still secretly supplies the fire.

He loves, also, to show us the same event twice over, and to repeat his instantaneous photographs at the interval of but a moment.

So we have, first, the whole troop of pilgrims coming up to Valiant, and Great-heart to the front, spear in hand and parleying; and next, the same cross-roads, from a more distant view, the convoy now scattered and looking safely and curiously on, and Valiant handing over for inspection his 'right Jerusalem blade.' It is true that this designer has no great care after consistency: Apollyon's spear is laid by, his quiver of darts will disappear, whenever they might hinder the designer's freedom; and the fiend's tail is blobbed or forked at his good pleasure.

But this is not unsuitable to the illustration of the fervent Bunyan, breathing hurry and momentary inspiration.

He, with his hot purpose, hunting sinners with a lasso, shall himself forget the things that he has written yesterday.
