Excerpt from The Jerusalem Sinner Saved: The Pharisee and the Publican; The Trinity and a Christian; The Law and a Christian, &C &C
After the pleasant sketches of pens so graceful as Southey's and Montgomery's after the elaborate biography of Mr Philip, whose researches have left few desiderata for any subsequent devotee indeed, after Bunyan's own graphic and characteristic narrative, the task on which we are now entering is one which, as we would have courted it the less, so we feel that we have peculiar facilities for performing it. Our main object is to give a simme and coherent account of a most unusual man - and then we should like to turn to some instructive purpose the peculiar ities of his singular history. And no less singular works.
John bunyan was born at Elstow, near Bedford, in 1628. His father was a brazier or tinker, and brought up his son as a crafts~ man of like occupation. There is no evidence for the gipsy origin of the house of Bunyan; and though extremely poor, John's father gave his son such an education as poor men could then obtain for their children. He was sent to school and taught to read and write.
