[Bunyan Characters - Third Series by Alexander Whyte]@TWC D-Link bookBunyan Characters - Third Series CHAPTER I--THE BOOK 8/12
We shall have another painful but profitable evening before a communion season with Mr.Prywell, and so we shall eat of that bread and drink of that cup.
Emmanuel's livery will occupy us one evening, Mansoul's Magna Charta another, and her annual Feast-day another.
Her Established Church and her beneficed clergy will take up one evening, some Skulkers in Mansoul another, the devil's last prank another, and then, to wind up with, Emmanuel's last speech and charge to Mansoul from his chariot-step till He comes again to accomplish her rapture.
All that we shall see and take part in; unless, indeed, our Captain comes in anger before the time, and spears us to the earth when He finds us asleep at our post or in the act of sin at it, which may His abounding mercy forbid! And now take these three forewarnings and precautions. 1.
First:--All who come here on these coming Sabbath evenings will not understand the _Holy War_ all at once, and many will not understand it at all.
