While climbing the hill Christian falls asleep and loses his roll but manages to find it after returning to search for it. 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.
