_Interpreter._ I will shew thee one thing more, and thou shalt go. So he led him into a chamber where was one rising out of bed, who shook and trembled exceedingly: then said _Christian_, “Why dost thou tremble thus?” This night, said he, as I was in my sleep, I dreamed, and behold the heavens were exceeding black: also it thundered and lightened on every side. So I looked up and saw the skies divide: and I heard a great sound of a trumpet: and I saw one descend, sitting on a cloud, attended with the thousands of heaven; they were all arrayed with flaming fire: also the heavens were in a burning flame. I then heard a voice out of the fire saying, “Arise ye dead and come to judgment;” and behold the rocks rent, the graves were opened, and the dead that were therein came forth: some of those looked up, and were exceeding glad, and some sought to hide themselves under the mountains. Then I saw him who sat upon the cloud open a book, and bid the world draw near; yet was there a distance, by reason of a fierce flame which issued out, and came before him. I heard it also proclaimed to them that attended on him who sat upon the cloud, “Gather together the tares and chaff, and cast them into the lake that burneth with brimstone;” and the bottomless pit opened her mouth, and there came forth smoak and coals of fire. It was also proclaimed, “Gather the wheat into my garner;” and I saw many caught up in the clouds, but I was left. I then called to the mountains to fall upon me, and the rocks to cover me, but in vain: for the man that sat upon the cloud still kept his eye upon me. Then came all my sins to my remembrance, and fear was on every side; so I awoke. Then said the _Interpreter_ to _Christian_, “Keep these things in thy mind, that they may be as a goad in thy side wherever thou goest; and the comforter be always with thee, and guide thee in the way that leads to the city.” Now I saw in my dream, that the highway up which I was to go, was fenced on every side with a wall, called _salvation_. Up this way he ran, till he came at a place where stood a cross, and somewhat below, a sepulchre. Just as _Christian_ came to the cross, his burthen loosed, fell off, and rolled down, till it came to the mouth of the sepulchre, where it fell in; and I saw it no more. Then was _Christian_ glad, and said with a merry heart, _The life that I now ♦live, I live by faith in the Son of God; who loved me, and gave himself for me_. ♦ “life” replaced with “live” Then he stood awhile to look and wonder, even till the tears ran down his cheeks; and as he stood, three shining ones came and saluted him with, _Peace be unto thee_. Then the first said unto him, _thy sins are forgiven thee_; the second striped him of _his rags, and cloathed_ him with change of raiment; and the third _set a mark on his forehead_, and gave him a roll, with a seal upon it, which he bid him look on as he ran, and give it at the gate of the city.
