	John Bunyan
		John Bunyan was received into the Baptist church in Bedford by immersion in 1653.
		As John Bunyan was married with children to support, and he could have walked out of the jail a free man at any time if he simply promised to stop preaching publicly without a license, one must ask if he really did the right thing.
		Bunyan was not a martyr, nor was he ever violently persecuted, but his convictions, whether admirable or misplaced, were quite strong and vexed the local authorities who viewed him more as a troublemaker than any real threat.

	John Bunyan on the Sabbath (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Bunyan's arguments are, that the appearances of nature show no difference of days- that no Sabbath or other day was set apart for worship before the giving of the law at Sinai.
		Bunyan then gives five proofs that the answer is no. If the identical question were asked today it would read, "Was the Sabbath commandment a Creation Ordinance given to Adam or was it first made known to Israel at Sinai?" This is the key point in the whole argument.
		Bunyan does not argue from the "good and necessary consequences deduced" by logic from a system of "one covenant and two administrations." Bunyan used Bible verses to establish his points.

		Of course Bunyan must remain in prison unless his persecutors would yield, which it was not likely they would do unless it pleased God to change their mind and heart, or to interpose by his gracious providence, as he really at length in his own good time did interpose, for Bunyan's deliverance.
		Bunyan was forty-four years of age when he was released from prison in September, 1672; and the next most memorable event of his life, after the Pilgrim's Progress, was that of the production and publication of the Holy War.
		Bunyan's style, so far as it was not a tendency born in him, grew out of his habitual and exclusive familiarity with the English Bible.

		Since Bunyan's vocabulary and style of punctuation reflected the speaking voice of an accomplished preacher (the "crime" for which he was imprisoned for twelve years), this almost amounted to restoring the correct meter to a poem long printed with incorrect versification.
		I don't find Bunyan an edifying guide to the religious life (see below), but he is in many ways an appealing human being, and a remarkable writer, the author of the last great medieval allegories in English, which are at the same time among the first modern novels.
		Bunyan successfully exposes the weaknesses of the alternative ideas by refuting them one by one in the context of his pilgrimage allegory.
