1688 - John Bunyan, English preacher, theologian, and author dies (Source)
"'But, brother,' said Mr. Great-Heart, 'I have it in my commission to 'comfort the feeble-minded,' and 'to support the weak.' You must needs go along with us: we will wait for you; we will lend you our help; we will deny ourselves some of the things, both opinionate and practical, for your sake; we will not enter into 'doubtful disputations' before you; we will be 'made all things' to you, rather than you shall be left behind." - John Bunyan (1628-1688).
This quote is from John Bunyan's book, Pilgrim's Progress. You can read, listen, and download Pilgrim's Progress for free by going to https://www.ccel.org/ccel/bunyan/pilgrim.html. I read that Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) read this book over 100 times during his lifetime. According to Wikipedia, Pilgrim's Progress has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print!
