Pilgrim's Progress

by John Bunyan

“This parlor is the heart of a man who was never sanctified by the sweet grace of the gospel. The dust is his sin and inward corruption which has defiled the whole man. The one who began to sweep at first is the law, but she who brought water and sprinkled it is the gospel.

I just heard someone woke reference this analogy of the gospel as to why women must be the salvific gender (facepalm).
