CHAP. XIII.
IN this same thorowfaring land, men find also a crafty murderer, that both high and low, wide and farr runneth all over this same land, and he is namedaƲn∣belief.
2. Of this wicked Villain, it behoveth us to beb very wary; for by him there are many murdered, and so they remain with∣out the Rest, because they lose the Com∣pass, and forsake the Cross through un∣belief; and also, because they cover their eyes from the Light of heaven, and will no longer behold the Leading Star.
3. Therefore herein there is great dan∣ger to pass thorow, namely, for all those
descriptionPage 62
that will follow their own counsel, and arec fainthearted, or wavering in faith, keeping no diligent watch unto the Com∣pass, and (for fear of sustaining damage) do hastily cast the Cross from them.
4. But the travellers that give no re∣gard unto their own counsel or opinion, shall not fear the danger of sustaining damage, but shall continue ofd good courage: for it is all nothing and vanity, whatsoever meeteth them upon the way. It is all to be overcome through the pati∣ence; for there through it consumeth it self,e like unto smoke, and there is nothing at all found that is any-what, or that re∣maineth over but the good land, with his holy Inhabitants and godly Riches.
5. Therefore let men travel thorow boldlyf with faith and a firm hope, and not doubtg nor grow wavering: then is there nothing that can endamage nor destroy them.
