- 1678 — John Bunyan. The Pilgrim's Progress.
- Then I stepped to him that plucked him out, and said, Sir, wherefore, since over this place is the way from the City of Destruction to yonder gate, is it that this plat is not mended, that poor travellers might go thither with more security?
- Legality's house for help; but, behold, when he was got now hard by the hill, it seemed so high, and also that side of it that was next the wayside did hang so much over, that Christian was afraid to venture further, lest the hill should fall on his head; wherefore there he stood still and wotted not what to do.
- What dost thou here, Christian? said he: at which words Christian knew not what to answer; wherefore at present he stood speechless before him.
