We are studying Pilgrim's Progress on Wednesday nights at church. Tonight's was on Passion and Patience. This is part of the section that we covered tonight:
I saw, moreover in my dream, that Interpreter took him by the hand, and had him into a little room, where two children sat. The name of the eldest was Passion, and the name of the other was Patience. Passion seemed to be much discontented, but Patience was very quiet. Then Christian asked:
What is the reason for the discontent of Passion?
Inter.: The governor of them would have him stay for his best things till the beginning of next year; but he will have all now; but Patience is willing to wait.
Then I saw one came Passion, and brought him a bag of treasure, poured it down at his feet; the which he took up and rejoiced therein, and withal laughed Patience to scorn. But I beheld but a while, and he had lavished all away, and had nothing left him but rags.
