1794. Discovering from Luke xvi. 19, the lamentable state of the damned, and may fitly serve as a warning word to sinners, both old and young, by faith in Jesus Christ, to avoid the same place of torment, with a discovery of the usefulness of the scriptures, as our same conduct for avoiding the torments of hell. This is the original book written in 1794, and thus, the Old English text is somewhat faded and spotted. Its rarity makes it well worth the effort to read, even with its defects.

Born in 1628 in Elstow, Bedfordshire, England, John Bunyan was the son of a tinker and received minimal formal education. At sixteen, he joined the Parliamentary Army during the English Civil War, serving for three years before returning to his hometown to practice his father's trade. His early life was marked by internal spiritual conflicts and a quest for religious understanding.After marrying, Bunyan became deeply involved with a nonconformist group known as the Bedford Meeting, where he eventually emerged as a prominent preacher. His refusal to cease preaching without official sanction led to his arrest and a twelve-year imprisonment. During this time, he penned Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, a spiritual autobiography detailing his religious experiences and struggles.Following his release, Bunyan continued his ministry and writing, producing The Pilgrim's Progress in 1678, which achieved immediate acclaim and has since become a classic of English literature. He remained an influential figure in his community until his death in 1688, leaving behind a legacy of profound religious writings that continue to inspire readers worldwide.
