Twern't >Richard, Twas Fred. Hi Mike, Perce was commending me (or so I read the reply to my post, which had quoted Fred's top post (which makes attribution complex)). Either way, what is more amusing is the anal-retentive attention given to forcing the metaphor of the Camel to come out "correctly" by successive writers and critics (thus proving it is easier to go to hell through accuracy than get to heaven with style). Of course, none of this matches the absolutely amateur religious instruction on what constitutes an atheist - again, the toboggan run to hell paved with definitions, examples and references reaching back to the dawn of the crusades as proof. Style is found in: "Now I saw in my dream that Christian and Hopeful forsook Mr. By-ends, and kept their distance before him; but one of them looking back, saw three men following Mr. By-ends, and behold, as they came up with him, he made them a very low bow; and they also gave him a compliment. The men's names were Mr. Hold-the-world, Mr. Money-love, and Mr. Save-all; men that Mr. By-ends had formerly been acquainted with; for in their minority they were schoolfellows, and were taught by one Mr. Gripe-man, a schoolmaster in Love-gain, which is a market town in the county of Coveting, in the north. This schoolmaster taught them the art of getting, either by violence, cozenage, flattery, lying, or by putting on the guise of religion; and these four gentlemen had attained much of the art of their master, so that they could each of them have kept such a school themselves. "Well, when they had, as I said, thus saluted each other, Mr. Money-love said to Mr. By-ends, Who are they upon the road before us? (for Christian and Hopeful were yet within view). "BY-ENDS. They are a couple of far countrymen, that, after their mode, are going on pilgrimage. "MONEY-LOVE. Alas! Why did they not stay, that we might have had their good company? for they, and we, and you, Sir, I hope, are all going on pilgrimage. "BY-ENDS. Why, they, after their headstrong manner, conclude that it is duty to rush on their journey all weathers; and I am for waiting for wind and tide. They are for hazarding all for God at a clap; and I am for taking all advantages to secure my life and estate. They are for holding their notions, though all other men are against them; but I am for religion in what, and so far as the times, and my safety, will bear it. They are for religion when in rags and contempt; but I am for him when he walks in his golden slippers, in the sunshine, and with applause."
