23:34
The name of the one was Simple , another Sloth , and the third Presumption . -LCB- 96 -RCB- Christian then seeing them lie in this case went to them , if peradventure he might awake them , and cried , You are like them that sleep on the top of a mast , for the Dead Sea is under you -- a gulf that hath no bottom . -LSB- Prov . 23:34 -RSB- Awake , therefore , and come away ; be willing also , and I will help you off with your irons . He also told them , If he that `` goeth about like a roaring lion '' comes by , you will certainly become a prey to his teeth . -LSB- 1 Pet . 5:8 -RSB- With that they looked upon him , and began to reply in this sort : Simple said , `` I see no danger '' ; Sloth said , `` Yet a little more sleep '' ; and Presumption said , `` Every fat must stand upon its own bottom ; what is the answer else that I should give thee ?
