“Then said he, ’I am going to my Father’s; and though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me that I have fought His battles who now will be my rewarder.’.... So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.”
― John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress, Part 2: Christiana

“But was you not afraid, good sir, when you see him come with his club?"

― John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress
