There were two men once upon a time that went on pilgrimage; the one began when he was young and the other began when he was old.

The young man had strong corruptions to grapple with, whereas the old man's corruptions were decayed with the decays of nature.

The young man trod his steps as even as did the old one, and was every way as light as he; who, now, or which of them, had their graces shining clearest, since both seemed to be alike?
Why, the young man's, doubtless, answered Mr.Honest.

For that which heads against the greatest opposition gives best demonstration that it is strongest.

A young man, therefore, has the advantage of the fairest discovery of a work of grace within him.
