CHRISTIAN: What I promised thee was in my nonage: and besides, I count that the Prince, under whose banner now I stand, is able to absolve me, yea, and to pardon also what I did as to my compliance with thee. And besides, O thou destroying Apollyon, to speak truth, I like His service, His wages, His servants, His government, His company and country better than thine. Therefore leave off to persuade me further. I am His servant, and I will follow Him.
