"...as Tender-consicence went along, an old man met him along the way, whose names was Carnal-security, and he spoke to Tender-conscience... Intemperance... was the wife of Carnal-security. ...these two had built this palace to inveigle pilgrims, and seduce them out of their way, to the heavenly country: as the palace called Bountiful was built for the relief, comfort, and direction of pilgrims in their journey. But poor Tender-conscience knew nothing of all this. He that had so lately escaped the snare that Spiritual-pride had laid for him, was now caught in the gins of Carnal-security."
