Bible Note: "His name was Ignorance..." (From "The Pilgrim's Progress") 'Here, therefore, they met with a very brisk lad that came out of that country, and his name was Ignorance... 'When Christian saw that the man was wise in his own conceit, he said to Hopeful whisperingly, “There is more hope of a fool than of him.” (Prov. 26:12.) And said, moreover, “When he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool. (Eccl. 10:3.) What, shall we talk farther with him, or outgo him at present, and so leave him to think of what he hath heard already, and then stop again for him afterwards, and see if by degrees we can do any good to him? Then said Hopeful, '“Let Ignorance a little while now muse On what is said, and let him not refuse Good counsel to embrace, lest he remain Still ignorant of what’s the chiefest gain. God saith, those that no understanding have, (Although he made them,) them he will not save.” 'HOPEFUL: He further added, It is not good, I think, to say so to him all at once; let us pass him by, if you will, and talk to him anon, even as he is able to bear it.' ____________________ The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan Christian Classics Ethereal Library http://www.ccel.org/ccel/bunyan/pilgrim.html |
