CHR. Whither are you going? MEN. They said, Back! back! and we would have you to do so too, if either life or peace is prized by you. CHR. Why, what's the matter? said Christian. MEN. Matter! said they; we were going that way as you are going, and went as far as we durst; and indeed we were almost past coming back; for had we gone a little further, we had not been here to bring the news to thee. CHR. But what have you met with? said Christian. MEN. Why, we were almost in the Valley of the Shadow of Death; but that, by good hap, we looked before us, and saw the danger before we came to it. CHR. But what have you seen? said Christian.
