English (original)

And so I penned It down, until at last it came to be, For length and breadth, the bigness which you see.

— John Bunyan

none could enter into Life, but those that were in downright earnest

the Wall, I thought, was the Word

and the Gap which was in this Wall, I thought was Jesus Christ

forasmuch as the Passage was wonderful narrow

here was only room for Body and Soul, but not for Body and Soul, and Sin

See that your cause be good, else Christ will not undertake it.
