7、d a settled home and place of business.He had little schooling,and he describes his early surroundings as poor and mean.When he was not yet sixteen his mother died;in two months his father married again;and the son enlisted as a soldier in the Civil War in November,1644,though whether on the Parliam
8、entary or Royalist side is not certain.The armies were disbanded in 1646,and about two years later Bunyan married a wife whose piety redeemed him from his delight in rural sport and the habit of profane swearing.He became much interested in religions,but it was only after a tremendous spiritual conf
9、lict,lasting three or four years,that he found peace.His struggles are related with extraordinary vividness and intensity in his“Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.”In 1655,the year in which he lost his wife,he began to exhort,and two years later he became a regular Non-conformist preacher,cont
10、inuing,however,to practise his trade.His success as a preacher roused opposition among the regular clergy,and in 1658 he was indicted at the assizes.His writing began with a controversy against the Quakers,and shows from the first the command of a homely but vigorous style.With the reenactment of th
11、e laws against non-conformity at the Restoration,Bunyan became subject to more severe persecution,and with a short intermission he was confined to prison from 1660 till 1672.Again and again he might have been released,but he refused to promise to desist from preaching,and there was no alternative fo
12、r the justices but to keep him in confinement.Sometimes lax jailers permitted him to preach 百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 7/416 at church meetings;he frequently ministered to his fellow-prisoners;and he supported his family,now looked after by a second wife,by making laces.He had appa
13、rently abundant leisure,for he wrote in prison a large number of books,the first one of importance being that already mentioned,“Grace Abounding”(1666).“The Pilgrims Progress”was also written in jail,but probably during a later confinement of six months in 1675.In 1672 Charles II suspended the laws
14、against Non-conformists and Roman Catholics,and Bunyan was released.He was called to be minister to a Non-conformist congregation in Bedford,and preached in the barn which served them as a church.But his ministrations were not confined to Bedford.He made preaching tours over a wide district,and even
15、 to London,and attracted great crowds of listeners.Meanwhile he continued to write.The first edition of“The Pilgrims Progress”in 1678 was followed by others with additions,and in 1684 by the second part.“The Life and Death of Mr.Badman”appeared in 1680;“The Holy War made by Shaddai upon Diabolus”in
16、1682.If the works left in manuscript at his death be included,the total of his books amounts to nearly sixty.He died in 1688,leaving a widow and six children,and a personal estate of less than 100.“The Pilgrims Progress”became at once popular,and has continued to be by far the most widely read of al
17、l his works,and one of the most universally known of English books.Though in the form of an allegory,the narrative interest is so powerful,the drawing of permanent types of human character is so vigorous,and the style is so simple and direct that it takes rank as a great work of fiction.The best sid
18、es of English Puritanism have here their most adequate and characteristic expression,while the intensity of Bunyans religious fervor and the universality of the spiritual problems with which he deals,raise the work to a place among the great religious classics of the world.THE AUTHORS APOLOGY FOR HI
19、S BOOK 百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 8/416 WHEN at the first I took my Pen in hand Thus for to write;I did not understand That I at all should make a little Book In such a mode;Nay,I had undertook To make another,which when almost done,Before I was aware I this begun.And thus it was:I
20、 was writing of the Way And Race of Saints,in this our Gospel-day,Fell suddenly into an Allegory About their Journey,and the way to Glory,In more than twenty things which I set down:This done,I twenty more had in my Crown,And they again began to multiply,Like sparks that from the coals of fire do fl
21、y.Nay then,thought I,if that you breed so fast,Ill put you by yourselves,lest you at last Should prove an infinitum,and eat out The Book that I already am about.Well,so I did;but yet I did not think To shew to all this World my Pen and Ink In such a mode;I only thought to make I knew not what:nor di
22、d I undertake Thereby to please my Neighbor;no not I;I did it mine own self to gratifie.Neither did I but vacant seasons spend In this my Scribble;nor did I intend But to divert myself in doing this From worser thoughts which make me do amiss.Thus I set Pen to Paper with delight,And quickly had my t
23、houghts in black and white.百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 9/416 For having now my Method by the end,Still as I pulld,it came;and so I pennd It down,until it came at last to be For length and breadth the bigness which you see.Well,when I had thus put mine ends together,I shewd them othe
24、rs,that I might see whether They would condemn them,or them justifie;And some said,Let them live;some,Let them die;Some said,John,print it;others said,Not so:Some said,It might do good;others said,No.Now was I in a straight,and did not see Which was the best thing to be done by me:At last I thought,
25、Since you are thus divided,I print it will,and so the case decided.For,thought I,some I see would have it done,Though others in that Channel do not run.To prove then who advised for the best,Thus I thought fit to put it to the test.I further thought,if now I did deny Those that would have it thus,to
26、 gratifie,I did not know but hinder them I might Of that which would to them be great delight.For those which were not for its coming forth I said to them,Offend you I am loth,Yet since your Brethren pleased with it be,Forbear to judge till you do further see.If that thou wilt not read,let it alone;
27、Some love the meat,some love to pick the bone:Yea,that I might them better palliate,I did too with them thus Expostulate:百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 10/416 May I not write in such a stile as this?In such a method too,and yet not miss Mine end,thy good?why may it not be done?Dark Clo
28、uds bring Waters,when the bright bring none.Yea,dark or bright,if they their Silver drops Cause to descend,the Earth,by yielding Crops,Gives praise to both,and carpeth not at either,But treasures up the Fruit they yield together;Yea,so commixes both,that in her Fruit None can distinguish this from t
29、hat:they suit Her well,when hungry;but,if she be full,She spues out both,and makes their blessings null.You see the ways the Fisher-man doth take To catch the Fish;what Engines doth he make?Behold how he engageth all his Wits,Also his Snares,Lines,Angles,Hooks,and Nets.Yet Fish there be,that neither
30、 Hook,nor Line,Nor Snare,nor Net,nor Engine can make thine;They must be gropd for,and be tickled too,Or they will not be catchd,whateer you do.How doth the Fowler seek to catch his Game By divers means,all which one cannot name?His Gun,his Nets,his Lime-twigs,Light,and Bell;He creeps,he goes,he stan
31、ds;yea who can tell Of all his postures?Yet theres none of these Will make him master of what Fowls he please.Yea,he must Pipe and Whistle to catch this;Yet if he does so,that Bird he will miss.If that a Pearl may in a Toads head dwell,And may be found too in an Oyster-shell;百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard
32、Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 11/416 If things that promise nothing do contain What better is than Gold;who will disdain,That have an inkling of it,there to look,That they may find it?Now my little Book(Though void of all those Paintings that may make It with this or the other man to take)Is not without thos
33、e things that do excel What do in brave,but empty notions dwell.Well,yet I am not fully satisfied,That this your Book will stand,when soundly tryd.Why,whats the matter?It is dark.What tho?But it is feigned:What of that I tro?Some men,by feigning words as dark as mine,Make truth to spangle,and its ra
34、ys to shine.But they want solidness.Speak man thy mind.They drowned the weak;Metaphors make us blind.Solidity indeed becomes the Pen Of him that writeth things Divine to men;But must I needs want solidness,because By Metaphors I speak?Were not Gods Laws,His Gospel-Laws,in olden time held forth By Ty
35、pes,Shadows,and Metaphors?Yet loth Will any sober man be to find fault With them,lest he be found for to assault The highest Wisdom.No,he rather stoops,And seeks to find out what by Pins and Loops,By Calves,and Sheep,by Heifers,and by Rams,By Birds,and Herbs,and by the blood of Lambs,God speaketh to
36、 him.And happy is he That finds the light and grace that in them be.百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 12/416 Be not too forward therefore to conclude That I want solidness,that I am rude:All things solid in shew not solid be;All things in parables despise not we;Lest things most hurtful l
37、ightly we receive,And things that good are,of our souls bereave.My dark and cloudy words they do but hold The Truth,as Cabinets inclose the Gold.The Prophets used much by Metaphors To set forth Truth;yea,whoso considers Christ,his Apostles too,shall plainly see,That Truths to this day in such Mantle
38、s be.Am I afraid to say that Holy Writ,Which for its Stile and Phrase puts down all Wit,Is everywhere so full of all these things,Dark Figures,Allegories?Yet there springs From that same Book that lustre,and those rays Of light,that turns our darkest nights to days.Come,let my Carper to his Life now
39、 look,And find there darker lines than in my Book He findeth any;Yea,and let him know,That in his best things there are worse lines too.May we but stand before impartial men,To his poor One I dare adventure Ten,That they will take my meaning in these lines Far better than his lies in Silver Shrines.
40、Come,Truth,although in Swaddling-clouts,I find,Informs the Judgment,rectifies the Mind,Pleases the Understanding,makes the Will Submit;the Memory too it doth fill 百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 13/416 With what doth our Imagination please;Likewise it tends our troubles to appease.Sound
41、 words I know Timothy is to use,And old Wives Fables he is to refuse;But yet grave Paul him nowhere doth forbid The use of Parables;in which lay hid That Gold,those Pearls,and precious stones that were Worth digging for,and that with greatest care.Let me add one word more.O man of God,Art thou offen
42、ded?Dost thou wish I had Put forth my matter in another dress,Or that I had in things been more express?Three things let me propound,then I submit To those that are my betters,as is fit.1.I find not that I am denied the use Of this my method,so I no abuse Put on the Words,Things,Readers;or be rude I

44、clare Things unto thee,that excellentest are.2.I find that men(as high as Trees)will write Dialogue-wise;yet no man doth them slight For writing so;Indeed if they abuse Truth,cursed be they,and the craft they use 百年哈佛 50 部经典 英文版 Harvard Classics 第 15 卷 天路历程 14/416 To that intent;but yet let Truth be
45、 free To make her sallies upon thee and me,Which way it pleases God.For who knows how,Better than he that taught us first to Plow,To guide our Mind and Pens for his Design?And he makes base things usher in Divine.3.I find that Holy Writ in many places Hath semblance with this method,where the cases
46、Do call for one thing,to set forth another;Use it I may then,and yet nothing smother Truths golden Beams:nay,by this method may Make it cast forth its rays as light as day.And now,before I do put up my Pen,Ill shew the profit of my Book,and then Commit both thee and it unto that hand That pulls the
