Excerpt from Staff and Scrip, or Help for the Pilgrim on the Journey of Life: Furnished by the Contemplation of Divine Truth, Exhibited in the World's History, and in Figures, Allegories, and SimilitudesThe scrip is not woven and lettered with threads of gold, nor is the carving of the staff in the highest style of art. Both are intended for plain people who work their passage through the world and pay their fare as they go. Both scrip and staff will do good service all the journey through, and the pilgrim will like both the better when he gets near his home.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
