[Bunyan Characters - Third Series by Alexander Whyte]@TWC D-Link bookBunyan Characters - Third Series CHAPTER XXI--MASTER THINK-WELL, THE LATE AND ONLY SON OF OLD MR 9/14
This you may see in Psalm cvii.
43.' And in her plain, silent, hidden, motherly way Mistress Piety adorned her old minister's doctrine of the holy heart that he was always preaching about, till she shared her soft and holy heart with her son, as his father had shared his clear and deep, if too unlearned, head. We have one grandmother at least signalised in the Bible; but no grandfather, so far as I remember.
But amends are made for that in the _Holy War_.
For Think-well would never have been the man he became had it not been for the old Recorder, his grandfather on his mother's side. Some superficial people said that there was too much severity in the old Recorder; but his grandson who knew him best, never said that.
He was the best of men, his grandson used to stand up for him, and say, I shall never forget the debt I owe him.
