In the “Pilgrim’s Progress” we read: “After this it was noised abroad
that Mr. Valiant-for-truth was taken with a summons by the same post as
the other; and had this for a token that the summons was true, ‘That his
pitcher was broken at the fountain.’ When he understood it he called
for his friends, and told them of it. Then, said he, I am going to my
Father’s; and though with great difficulty I am got thither, yet now I do
not repent me of all the trouble I had been at to arrive where I am. My
sword I give to him that succeeds me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and
skill to him that may get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a
witness for me that I have fought His battle who now will be my rewarder.
When the day that he must go hence was come, many accompanied him to the
river side, into which as he went he said, ‘Death, where is thy sting?’
And as he went down deeper, he said, ‘Grave, where is thy victory?’ So he
passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.”
