O brave Talkative. Talk. What you will: I will talk of things Heavenly, or things Earthly; things Moral, or things Evangelical; things Sacred, or things Prophanes; things paſt, or things to come; things forraign, or things at home; things more Eſſential, or things Circumſtantial: provided that all be done to our profit.
Faithful beguiled by TalkativeFaith. Now did Faithful begin to wonder; and ſtepping to Chriſtian, (for he walked all this while by himſelf,) he ſaid to him (but ſoftly) What a brave Companion have we got! Surely this man will make a very excellent Pilgrim.
Chriſtian makes a diſcovery of Talkative, telling Faithful who he was. Chr: At this Chriſtian modeſtly ſmiled, and ſaid, This man with whom you are ſo taken, will beguile with this tongue of his, twenty of them that know him not.
Faith: Do you know him then?
Chr. Know him! Yes,better then he knows himſelf.
Faith. Pray what is he?
Chr. His name is Talkative, he dwelleth in our Town; I wonder that you ſhould be a ſtranger to him, only I conſider that our Town is large.
