Atten. Well, my good Neighbour Wiseman, I perceive that the Sun grows
low, and that you have come to a conclusion with Mr. Badmans Life and
Death; and therefore I will take my leave of you. Only first, let me
tell you, I am glad that I have met with you to day, and that our
hap was to fall in with Mr. Badmans state. I also thank you for your
freedom with me, in granting of me your reply to all my questions: I
would only beg your Prayers; that God will give me much grace, that I
may neither live nor die as did Mr. Badman.
Wise. My good Neighbour Attentive, I wish your welfare in Soul and
Body; and if ought that I have said of Mr. Badmans Life and-Death, may
be of Benefit unto you, I shall be heartily glad; only I desire you to
thank God for it, and to pray heartily for me, that I with you may be
kept by the Power of God through Faith unto Salvation.
Atten. Amen. Farewell.
Wise. I wish you heartily Farewell.
MARGIN NOTES
_General note_. When Mr. Badman was printed much of the text was
annotated with notes in the margins. These are unlike our modern
footnotes in that they may apply to a range of text rather than at a
single point. However, in this Project Gutenberg eText it has not been
possible to reproduce the margin notes as such and hence they have been
turned into footnotes.—DP.

released “The Holy War.”—DP.
