{Verse 242}

A book by John Bunyan about his journey to the Celestial City.
{Verse 242}

Now I saw that there stood behind the multitude a chariot and a couple of horses, waiting for Faithful, who (so soon as his adversaries had despatched him) was taken up into it, and straightway was carried up through the clouds, with sound of trumpet, the nearest way to the Celestial Gate.

Brave FAITHFUL, bravely done in word and deed;

 Judge, witnesses, and jury have, instead

 Of overcoming thee, but shown their rage:

 When they are dead, thou'lt live from age to age*.

*In the New Heaven and New Earth. {Verse footnote from one edition}
