They also shewed him some of the Engines with which some of his Servants had done wonderful things. They shewed him _Moses'_ Rod; the Hammer and Nail with which _Jael_ slew _Sisera_; the Pitchers, Trumpets, and Lamps too, with which _Gideon_ put to flight the Armies of _Midian_. Then they shewed him the Oxes goad wherewith _Shamger_ slew six hundred men. They shewed him also the Jaw-bone with which _Samson_ did such mighty feats. They shewed him moreover the Sling and Stone with which _David_ slew _Goliath_ of _Gath_; and the Sword also with which their Lord will kill the Man of Sin, in the day that he shall rise up to the prey. They shewed him besides many excellent things, with which _Christian_ was much delighted. This done, they went to their rest again. Then I saw in my Dream, that on the morrow he got up to go forwards, but they desired him to stay till the next day also; and then, said they, we will (if the day be clear) shew you the Delectable Mountains, which, they said, would yet further add to his comfort, because they were nearer the desired Haven then the place where at present he was. So he consented and staid. When the morning was up, they had him to the top of the House, and bid him look South; so he did: and behold at a great distance he saw a most pleasant Mountainous Country, beautified with Woods, Vinyards, Fruits of all sorts, Flowers also; Springs and Fountains, very delectable to behold. Then he asked the name of the Country. They said it was _Immanuel's Land_; and it is as common, said they, as this _Hill_ is, to and for all the Pilgrims. And when thou comest there, from thence, said they, thou maist see to the gate of the Coelestial City, as the Shepheards that live there will make appear. Now he bethought himself of setting forward, and they were willing he should: but first, said they, let us go again into the Armory. So they did; and when they came there they harnessed him from head to foot with what was of proof, lest perhaps he should meet with assaults in the way. He being therefore thus acoutred, walketh out with his friends to the Gate, and there he asked the Porter if he saw any Pilgrims pass by. Then the Porter answered, Yes.

How far do you think he may be before? _Por._ He has got by this time below the Hill.
