A conversion story - Part 1

From the Pilgrims Progress by John Bunyan:

True conversion: Hopeful’s testimony.

Hopeful is telling Christian how he was converted - as he and Christian are walking across the enchanted ground - On their way to Mount Zion (Heaven).

Part 1: Hopeful as an unsaved, unregenerate sinner.

Christian began and said, I will ask you a question. How came you to think at first of so doing as you do now?”

Hopeful: Do you mean, how came I at first to look after the good of my soul?

Christian: Yes, that is my meaning.

Hopeful: I continued a great while in the delight of those things which were
seen and sold at our fair; things which, I believe now, would have, had I
continued in them, still drowned me in perdition and destruction.

Christian: What things are they?

Hopeful: All the treasures and riches of the world. Also, I delighted much in rioting, revelling, drinking, swearing, lying, uncleanness, Sabbath-breaking, and what not, that tended to destroy the soul.
