Heavenly Footman

O R,
A description of the man that gets to Heaven; together with the way
he runs in, the marks he goes by; also, some
D I R E C T I O N S
how to run so as to obtain.With an epistle to all the
slothful and careless people.


By J O H N.B U N Y A N.


1698.


VIII. A SHORT EXPOSTULATION.

Well then, sinner, what sayest thou? Where is thy heart? Wilt thou run? Art thou resolved to strip? Or art thou not? Think quickly, man, it is no dallying in this matter. Confer not with flesh and blood; look up to heaven, and see how thou likest it; also to hell, of which thou mayst understand something by my book, called,
A few Sighs from Hell; or the Groans of a damned Soul; which I wish thee to read seriously over and accordingly devote thyself. If thou dost not know the way, inquire at the Word of God. If thou wantest company, cry for God's Spirit. If thou wantest encouragement, entertain the promises. But be sure thou begin by times; get into the way; run apace and hold out to the end; and the Lord give thee a prosperous journey. Farewell.
