You may say that Robespierre was morbid and unbalanced, and you may say the same of Bunyan.
But, like all real men, Bunyan had the worst opinion of himself.
The women in Bedford, to whom Bunyan had opened his mind, had been naturally interested in him.
There was no difficulty in convincing Bunyan that he was in a bad way.
To justify Bunyan he must come down and die again, and that was not to be thought of.
Now, says Bunyan, there remained only the hinder part of the tempest.
A man like Bunyan, who really believed this, might well be alarmed.
It was believed at that moment by Oliver Cromwell as completely as by Bunyan himself.
Bunyan was generally charitable in his judgment upon others.
I will give one more extract from Bunyan's pastoral addresses.
