He is warned about lions guarding a nearby palace named Beautiful by two men called Mistrust and Timorous but when encountering the lions the porter of the palace's lodge named Watchful tells him that the lions should not be feared as they are chained and are merely a trial of faith. The porter welcomes him to the palace which he reveals was built as a place of rest for pilgrims by the lord of the hill, the son of the Ancient of days. In the palace he meets four women called Discretion, Piety, Charity and Prudence. When morning has arrived the women accompany him down the hill and Christian arrives to the Valley of Humiliation. | | While climbing the hill Christian falls asleep and loses his roll but manages to find it after returning to search for it.

With the weapons and armor he had received from the four women, Christian is able to defeat Apollyon after a long battle and continues his journey. Soon he arrives to another valley named the Valley of the Shadow of Death. It is a completely dark desert with and a ditch on one side and on the other a quagmire, both of which he is in danger of falling in and he can hear frightening sounds around him. He finally reaches the end of the valley where he encounters a pile of bones. Formerly two giants named [[Pagan]] and [[Pope]] had killed many of the people passing through but Pagan had died long ago and Pope had become so stiff he could no longer do anything outside his cave. | + | Christian soon meets a monster named [[Apollyon]] who claims to be his king and refuses to allow him passage.

| | Then Christian meets Faithful who had left the City of Destruction soon after him and he tells Christian about his journey. First he met a woman named Wanton who attempted to tempt him but was able to escape him. Next he met a man named [[Adam]] the First from the town of [[Deceit]] who wanted him to marry his three daughters but soon escaped him as well. He next met [[Moses]] on the Hill Difficulty who wanted to punish him for his former sins without mercy but was saved by man with holes in his hands, whom he recognized as his Lord. In the Valley of Humiliation he met a man called Discontent and another called Shame who attempted to make him abandon his journey but he disregarded them. Soon they are met by a man named Talkative. Faithful is impressed by his manner of speech but Christian warns him that Talkative only talks of religion and has none in his heart. Faithful challenges him on this and Talkative leaves angrily. They are met again by Evangelist who warns them about a nearby town where they may suffer for their faith but assures them that if they face death they will be rewarded. | | Then Christian meets Faithful who had left the City of Destruction soon after him and he tells Christian about his journey.

| − | Meanwhile, Christian escapes from Vanity and is accompanied by one of its inhabitants named Hopeful. They arrive at a river called the 'river of God' and the 'river of the water of life' with many fruit trees on its banks and meadows on either side. The way following the river is rough so Christian decides to in stead follow a meadow called By-Path on one side of the path. They are met by a man named Vain-confidence going to the Celestial City. Soon it becomes dark and Vain-confidence accidentally falls into a deep pit and dies. It begins to rain and the two decide to rest under a shelter. They fall asleep and in the morning are captured by Giant Despair, the lord of Doubting Castle and thrown into his dungeon. Advised by his wife Diffidence, Despair tries to convince the Pilgrims to commit suicide but they refuse. After many days Christian remembers he has a key called Promise with which he manages to unlock the dungeon door and the castle gate. Before continuing their journey, the two erect a pillar warning future pilgrims of Giant Despair. | + | Meanwhile, Christian escapes from Vanity and is accompanied by one of its inhabitants named Hopeful.
