Now they were come up with the Hill Lucre; where thesilver-mine was which took Demas off from his pilgrimage,and into which, as some think, By-ends fell and perished;wherefore they considered that. But when they were cometo the old monument that stood over against the Hill Lucre,to wit, to the pillar of salt that stood also within view ofSodom and its stinking lake, they marvelled, as did Christianbefore, that men of that knowledge and ripeness of wit, as. ShKS they was, should be so blinded as to turn aside here.
