The Holy War – John Bunyan

31. 'Quat,' now spelt 'squat,' to lie or sit close, still, or lurking-- 'Squat like a
toad.'--Milton. In a Glasgow edition, 1720, it is altered to 'quiet.' In
1752, it is 'lay so close.'--Ed.
32. Stinking and loathsome is sin in the sight of God. May we be sensible of
the filthiness of sin, as David was:--'Mine iniquities are gone over my
head; my wounds stink and are corrupt, because of my foolishness' (Psa
38:4,5).--Ed.
33. A curious idea, but fully borne out both by reason and Scripture.
Gluttony or drunkenness injures the mind. Peter says, 'Add to knowledge
temperance' (2 Peter 1:6).--Ed.
34. Anything means indifference about religion, a conformity or opposition
to it, as convenience requires.--Burder.
35. Loosefoot may signify a careless walk and conversation.--Burder.
36. The books, chapters, or verses of holy Writ.--Ed.
