I saw moreover in my Dream, that the Interpreter took him by the hand, and had him into a little room, where sat two little Children, each one in his chair. The name of the eldest was Passion, and the name of the other Patience. Passion seemed to be much discontent; but Patience was very quiet.

ᎾᏉᏃ ᏧᏁᎶᏗ ᎤᏛᏛᏅᎩ ᏗᎵᏰᎢᎸᏍᏗᏍᎬ ᎤᎿᎸᏣᏘ ᏂᎦᎥ ᎠᎵᏑᎵᎪᎨᏍᎬᎢ.

Then Christian asked, What is the reason of the discontent of Passion?

ᎠᏁᏢᏗᏍᎩᏃ ᏧᏁᏨ ᎯᎠ ᏄᏪᏒᎩ, ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏖᎮᎵᏕᎯᏍᎩᏂ ᎤᏚᎵᎭ ᎤᎧᏘᏗᏍᏗᏱ ᎤᏤᎵᎦ ᎣᏌᏂ ᎠᏥᏁᏗᏱ ᎬᏂ ᏔᎵᏁ ᏩᏓᎴᏂᏍᎬ ᎤᏕᏘᏴᏌᏗᏒᎢ; ᎠᏎᏃ ᎪᎯᏉ ᎨᏒ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎤᏚᎵᎭ; ᎬᏂᏗᏳᏍᎩᏂ ᎣᏏᏉ ᎤᏰᎸᎭ ᎤᎧᏘᏗᏍᏗᏱ.

The Interpreter answered, The Governor of them would have him stay for his best things till the beginning of the next year; but he will have all now; but Patience is willing to wait.

ᎾᏉᏃ ᎥᏥᎪᎥᎩ ᎠᏏᏴᏱ ᎤᎷᏤᎸᎩ ᎤᎿᎸᏣᏘ ᎠᎴ ᎤᏲᎮᎸᎩ ᏕᎦᎶᏗ ᎠᎧᎵ ᏧᎬᏩᎶᏗ, ᎠᎴ ᏚᎳᏍᎬ ᎤᏪᏐᏅᏴᎩ: ᎾᏍᎩᏃ ᎤᏭᏖᏒᎩ ᎠᎴ ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏨᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎤᏰᏣᏍᏔᏅᎩ ᎠᏙᏢᏗᏍᎬ ᎬᏂᎯᏳ. ᎠᏎᏃ ᏄᏬᎯᏨᎾᏉ ᏫᏓᏆᎧᎿᏅ ᏂᎦᏛ ᎤᏤᏬᏅᎯ ᎨᏒᎩ, Ꮭ ᎠᎴ ᎪᎱᏍᏗ ᏳᏘᏰᎴ ᏧᏓᏓᎦᎸᎢᏛ ᏗᏄᏬ ᎤᏩᏒ.

Then I saw that one came to Passion, and brought him a bag of treasure, and poured it down at his feet, the which he took up and rejoiced therein; and withal, laughed Patience to scorn. But I beheld but a while, and he had lavished all away, and had nothing left him but Rags.

Chr. Then said Christian to the Interpreter, Expound this matter more fully to me.

Inter. So he said, These two Lads are figures: Passion, of the men of this world; and Patience, of the men of that which is to come; for as here thou seest, Passion will have all now this year, that is to say, in this world; so are the men of this world: they must have all their good things now, they cannot stay till next year, that is, until the next world, for their portion of good.

That proverb, A Bird in the Hand is worth two in the Bush, is of more authority with them than are all the Divine testimonies of the good of the world hand to come. But as thou sawest that he had quickly lavished all away, and had presently left him nothing but Rags; so will it be with all such men at the end of this world.

Chr. Then said Christian, Now I see that Patience has the best wisdom, and that upon many accounts. 1. Because he stays for the best things, 2. And also because he will have the Glory of his, when the other has nothing but Rags.

Inter. Nay, you may add another, to wit, the first must glory of the next world will never wear out; but these are suddenly gone, Therefore Passion had not but things so much reason to laugh at Patience, because he had his good things first, as Patience will have to laugh at Passion, because he had his best things last; for first must give place to last, because last must have his time to come: but last gives place to nothing; for there is not another to succeed. He therefore that hath his portion first, must needs have a time to spend it; but he that hath his portion last, must have it lastingly; therefore it is said of Dives, In thy lifetime thou receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. [Luke 16:25]

Chr. Then I perceive ’tis not best to covet things that are now, but to wait for things to come.

Inter. You say truth: For the things which are seen are Temporal; but the things that are not temporal seen are Eternal. [2 Corinthians 4:18] But though this be so, yet since things present and our fleshly appetite are such near neighbors one to another; and, again, because things to come and carnal sense are such strangers one to another; therefore it is that the first of these so suddenly fell into amity, and that distance is so continued between the second. [Romans 7:15-25]
