His answer was ,”If you let me out today, I will preach again tomorrow.” Bunyan’s Death 1688年，有一位父亲将其子赶出家门，因他离家出走。这个年轻人到了班扬那里，央求他与其父谈一谈，以便能与父亲和好。班扬骑马冒雨赶去，见到了那个父亲。父子俩在他的劝说下和好。但班扬由此得了重感冒，并死于此。 In his last sermon Bunyan said: “Live like the children of God, that you may look your Father in the face with the comfort of another day.”
