Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? The man answered, Because I fear that this burden is
upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet
[Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if I be not fit to go to prison, I am not fit, Om
sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry
Then said Evangelist, If this be thy condition, why standest thou still? He answered, Because know not whither to go. Then he gave him a
parchment roll, and there was written within, Flee from the wrath to come. [Matt. 3.7)
The man therefore read it, and looking upon Evangelist very
carefully, said, Whither must I fly? Then said Evangelist, pointing with his finger over
a very wide field, Do you see yonder wicket-gate? [Matt. 7:13,14) The man said, No. Then said the other, Do you see yonder shining light? [Ps.
119:105; 2 Pet. 1:19] He said, I think I do. Then said Evangelist, Keep that light in your eye, and go up directly thereto: so shalt thou see the gate;
at which, when thou knockest, it shall be told thee what thou shalt do.
