The second part of a brief account of the life of John Bunyan, who was born in the English County of Bedfordshire, in November, 1628. After following his father's trade as a Tinker, he served in the parliamentary army (1644-1647). He was first imprisoned in 1660 for refusing to stop preaching about Jesus Christ, and with few exceptions was detained until 1672. He was briefly imprisoned again in 1675, but was released after serving six months. He became pastor of his church in Bedford, was a very popular preacher and a very prolific writer. But without question his memory will endure until the end of time for his most influential written work, namely that of the allegory 'The Pilgrim's Progress'. In terms of his theology he was quite assuredly a Puritan.
On a journey to London in August 1688, he became very wet, caught a severe cold, and subsequently died there. He is buried in the non-conformist burial grounds at Bunhill Fields, just off City Road, in North London.
