. Der Fortschritt des Pilgers von dieser Welt zu dem, was kommen wird, geliefert unter der Ähnlichkeit eines Traumes. Trost sprichend, bis er fühlte, daß er das Wort von Gott empfing, war zweifellos mit ihm ein Som*ce von großer Originalität und Kraft. Aber es könnte, in einem anderen Geist, havedegeneriert in bloßen Aberglauben und Fanatismus. Bunyan oughtto hat alle Verheißungen, die er in Gods Word fand, als Verheißungen an sich selbst genommen: Und die Tatsache, dass sie in Gods Wordwaren, hätte ausreichend sein Fundament für seinen Glauben sein sollen, auf dem er ruhen konnte.auch sollte er keinen Durchgang in zwei geteilt haben und Götter eingeschränkt haben

But it might, in another mind, havedegenerated into mere superstition and fanaticism. Bunyan oughtto have taken all the promises he found in Gods Word to sinnersas promises to himself: and the fact that they were in Gods Wordshould have been sufficient foundation for his faith to rest upon.Neither should he have split a passage in two, and restricted Godsgrace to one half of it, but should at once have received the whole, not putting by the Word of Promise when he found it. And indeed, the fierceness of the second period of temptation didat length drive him from that habit, as he himself says, in a verystriking and instructive passage in the Grace Abounding : By thistemptation I was greatly holden off from my former foolish practiceof putting by the Word of Promise when it came into my mind;but now, like a man sinking, I would catch at all I saw.
