John Bunyan in Later Life

In his later days John Bunyan's figure was tolerably familiar in London. He preached regularly in Southwalk—in an open space near the Falcon—and people thronged to hear him, so that he could count upon a regular congregation of some 500 souls. John Wesley's father heard him preach on Newington Green. That he had many friends in London is evident from the number of people who attended his funeral, and from the handsome tomb that soon after his death was built over his grave. Twenty or thirty years ago this tomb, which had fallen into decay, was restored, but has already assumed a time-worn, weather-worn appearance.—Sel.
