From the pilgrims progress.. (Chr stands for Christian) Apollyon. Whence come you, and whither are you bound? Chr. I am come from the city of Destruction, which is the place of all evil, and am going to the City of Zion. Apol. By this I perceive thou art one of my subjects; for all that country is mine, and I am the prince and god of it. How is it, then, that thou hast run away from thy king? Were it not that I hope thou mayest do me more service, I would strike thee now at one blow to the ground. Chr. I was born indeed in your dominions; but your service was hard, and your wages such as a man could not live on, for the wages of sin is death; "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 therefore, when I was come to years, I did as other prudent persons do, look out, if perhaps I might mend myself.
