the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o mr._n badman_n present_v to_o the_o world_n in_o a_o familiar_a dialogue_n between_o mr._n wiseman_n and_o mr._n attentive_a by_o john_n bunyan_n the_o author_n of_o the_o pilgrim_n progress_n london_n print_v by_o j._n a._n for_o nath._n ponder_n at_o the_o peacock_n in_o the_o poultry_n near_o the_o church_n 1680._o the_o author_n to_o the_o reader_n courteous_a reader_n as_o i_o be_v consider_v with_o myself_o what_o i_o have_v write_v concern_v the_o progress_n of_o the_o pilgrim_n from_o this_o world_n to_o glory_n and_o how_o it_o have_v be_v acceptable_a to_o many_o in_o this_o nation_n it_o come_v again_o into_o my_o mind_n to_o write_v as_o then_o of_o he_o that_o be_v go_v to_o heaven_n so_o now_o of_o the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o the_o ungodly_a and_o of_o their_o travel_n from_o this_o world_n to_o hell_n the_o which_o in_o this_o i_o have_v do_v and_o have_v put_v it_o as_o thou_o see_v under_o the_o name_n and_o title_n of_o mr._n badman_n a_o name_n very_o proper_a for_o such_o a_o subject_a i_o have_v also_o put_v it_o into_o the_o form_n of_o a_o dialogue_n that_o i_o may_v with_o more_o ease_n to_o myself_o and_o pleasure_n to_o the_o reader_n perform_v the_o work_n and_o although_o as_o i_o say_v i_o have_v put_v it_o forth_o in_o this_o method_n yet_o have_v i_o as_o little_a as_o may_v be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o road_n of_o my_o own_o observation_n of_o thing_n yea_o i_o think_v i_o may_v true_o say_v that_o to_o the_o best_a of_o my_o remembrance_n all_o the_o thing_n that_o here_o i_o discourse_n of_o i_o mean_v as_o to_o matter_n of_o fact_n have_v be_v act_v upon_o the_o stage_n of_o this_o world_n even_o many_o time_n before_o my_o eye_n here_o therefore_o courteous_a reader_n i_o present_v thou_o with_o the_o life_n and_o death_n of_o mr._n badman_n indeed_o yea_o i_o do_v trace_v he_o in_o his_o life_n from_o his_o childhood_n to_o his_o death_n that_o thou_o may_v as_o in_o a_o

tread_v in_o his_o path_n thereto_o and_o let_v i_o entreat_v thou_o to_o forbear_v quirk_v and_o mock_v for_o that_o i_o say_v mr._n badman_n be_v dead_a but_o rather_o grave_o inquire_v concern_v thyself_o by_o the_o word_n whether_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o his_o lineage_n or_o no_o for_o mr._n badman_n have_v leave_v many_o of_o his_o relation_n behind_o he_o yea_o the_o very_a world_n be_v overspread_v with_o his_o kindred_n true_o some_o of_o his_o relation_n as_o he_o be_v go_v to_o their_o place_n and_o long_a home_n but_o thousand_o of_o thousand_o be_v leave_v behind_o as_o brother_n sister_n cousin_n nephew_n beside_o innumerable_a of_o his_o friend_n and_o associate_n i_o may_v say_v and_o yet_o speak_v nothing_o but_o too_o much_o truth_n in_o so_o say_v that_o there_o be_v scarce_o a_o fellowship_n a_o community_n or_o fraternity_n of_o man_n in_o the_o world_n but_o some_o of_o mr._n badmans_n relation_n be_v there_o yea_o rare_o can_v we_o find_v a_o family_n or_o household_n in_o a_o town_n where_o he_o have_v not_o leave_v behind_o he_o either_o brother_n nephew_n or_o friend_n the_o butt_n therefore_o that_o at_o this_o time_n i_o shoot_v at_o be_v wide_a and_o it_o will_v be_v as_o impossible_a for_o this_o book_n to_o go_v into_o several_a family_n and_o not_o to_o arrest_v some_o as_o for_o the_o king_n messenger_n to_o rush_v into_o a_o

i_o survive_v they_o as_o that_o be_v a_o great_a question_n to_o i_o i_o may_v also_o write_v of_o their_o life_n however_o whether_o my_o life_n be_v long_o or_o short_a this_o be_v my_o prayer_n at_o present_a that_o god_n will_v stir_v up_o witness_n against_o they_o that_o may_v either_o convert_v or_o confound_v they_o for_o wherever_o they_o live_v and_o roll_v in_o their_o wickedness_n they_o be_v the_o pest_n and_o plague_n of_o that_o country_n england_n shake_v and_o totter_v already_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o burden_n that_o mr._n badman_n and_o his_o friend_n have_v wicked_o lay_v upon_o it_o yea_o our_o earth_n reel_v and_o stagger_v to_o and_o fro_o like_o a_o drunkard_n the_o transgression_n thereof_o be_v heavy_a upon_o it_o courteous_a reader_n i_o will_v treat_v

leisure_n will_v serve_v thou_o to_o enter_v in_o and_o behold_v the_o state_n in_o which_o he_o be_v lay_v betwixt_o his_o deathbed_n and_o the_o grave_a he_o be_v not_o bury_v as_o yet_o nor_o do_v he_o stink_v as_o be_v design_v he_o shall_v before_o he_o lie_v down_o in_o oblivion_n now_o as_o other_o have_v have_v their_o funeral_n solemnize_v according_a to_o their_o greatness_n and_o

his_o desert_n four_o thing_n be_v usual_a at_o great_a man_n funeral_n which_o we_o will_v take_v leave_n and_o i_o hope_v without_o offence_n to_o allude_v to_o in_o the_o funeral_n of_o mr._n badman_n first_o they_o be_v sometime_o when_o dead_a present_v to_o their_o friend_n by_o their_o complete_o wrought_a image_n as_o lively_a as_o by_o cunning_a man_n hand_n they_o can_v be_v that_o the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o may_v be_v renew_v to_o their_o survivor_n the_o remembrance_n of_o they_o and_o their_o deed_n and_o this_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o answer_v in_o my_o discourse_n of_o mr._n badman_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v draw_v he_o forth_o in_o his_o featour_n and_o action_n from_o his_o childhood_n to_o his_o grey_a hair_n here_o therefore_o thou_o have_v he_o lively_o set_v forth_o as_o in_o cutts_n both_o as_o to_o the_o minority_n flower_n and_o seniority_n of_o his_o age_n together_o with_o those_o action_n of_o his_o life_n that_o he_o be_v most_o
