A
Relation of My Imprisonment


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


Published in conjunction with a later version of Grace Abounding. Unpublished until 1765.

This is not the 1765 edition.

Now as Satan laboured by reproaches and slanders, to make me vile among my countrymen, that, if possible, my preaching might be made of none effect, so there was added hereto a long and tedious imprisonment, that thereby I might be frighted from my service for Christ, and the world terrified, and made afraid to hear me preach, of which I shall in the next place give you a brief account.
