Bunyan, John, 1628-1688

"Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners"

But yet, notwithstanding, said I,
they that have a mind to use it, they have their liberty; that is,
I would not keep them from it; but for our parts, we can pray to
God without it. Blessed be His name!
With that, one of them said, Who is your God? Beelzebub?
Moreover, they often said, that I was possessed with the spirit of
delusion, and of the devil. All which sayings I passed over; the
Lord forgive them! And further, I said, Blessed be the Lord for
it; we are encouraged to meet together, and to pray, and exhort one
another; for, we have had the comfortable presence of God among us.
For ever blessed be His holy name!
Keel. Justice Keelin called this pedler's French, saying, that I
must leave off my canting. The Lord open his eyes!
Bun. I said that we ought to exhort one another daily, while it is
called to-day, etc.
Keel. Justice Keelin said that I ought not to preach; and asked me
where I had my authority? with other such like words.
Bun. I said that I would prove that it was lawful for me, and such
as I am, to preach the Word of God.
Keel. He said unto me, By what Scripture?
Bun.
