Then I saw, in my dream, that still he went on in great dread of the wild beasts; he heard them roar, yet they did him no harm; but when he had gone by them he went on with joy, till he came and stood in front of the lodge where Watchful dwelt. Christian.--Sir, what house is this? May I rest here to night? Watchful.--This house was built by the Lord of the Hill to give aid to those who climb up it for the good cause. Tell me, whence come you? Christian.--I am come from the Town of Destruction, and am on my way to Mount Zion; but the day is far spent, and I would, with your leave, pass the night here. Watchful.--What is your name? Christian.--My name is now Christian, but at first it was Graceless. Watchful.--How is it you came so late? The sun is set. Christian then told him why it was. Watchful.--Well, I will call one that lives here, who, if she like your talk, will let you come in, for these are the rules of the house. So he rang a bell, at the sound of which there came out at the door a grave and fair maid, whose name was Discretion. When Watchful told her why Christian had come there, she said: What is your name? It is Christian, said he, and I much wish to rest here to night, and the more so for I see this place was build by the Lord of the Hill, to screen those from harm who come to it. So she gave a smile, but the tears stood in her eyes; and in a short time she said: I will call forth two or three more of our house, and then she ran to the door and brought in Prudence, Piety, and Charity, who met him and said: Come in, thou blest of the Lord; this house was built by the King of the Hill for such as you. Then Christian bent down his head, and went with them to the house. Piety.--Come, good Christian, since our love prompts us to take you in to rest, let us talk with you of all that you have seen on your way. Christian.--With a right good will, and I am glad that you should ask it of me. Prudence.--And, first, say what is it that makes you wish so much to go to Mount Zion? Christian.--Why there I hope to see Him that did die on the Cross; and there I hope to be rid of all those thing that to this day grieve and vex me. There, they say, is no death; and there I shall dwell with such as love the Lord. Charity.--Have you a wife and babes? Christian.--Yes, I have. Charity.--And why did you not bring them with you? Christian then wept, and said: Oh, how glad should I have been to do so! but they would not come with me, nor have me leave them. Charity.--And did you pray to God to put it in their hearts to go with you? Christian.--Yes, and that with much warmth, for you may think how dear they were to me. Thus did Christian talk with these friends till it grew dark, and then he took his rest in a large room, the name of which was Peace; there he slept till break of day, and then he sang a hymn.
