which two parts of this excerpt from john bunyans the pilgrims progress show that the central character is devoutly religious and god-fearing?
then said evangelist, why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? because i fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and i shall fall into tophet, isa. 30:33 and, sir, if it be not fit to go to prison, i am not fit, i am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry
then said evangelist, if this be thy condition, why standest thou still? he answered, because i know not whither to go. then he gave him a parchment roll, and there was written within, flee from the wrath to come. matt. 3:7
the man therefore read it, and looking upon evangelist very carefully, said, whither must i fly? then said evangelist, pointing with his finger over a very wide field, do you see yonder wicket-gate? matt. 7:13,14 the man said, no. then said the other, do you see yonder shining light? ps. 119:105; 2 pet. 1:19 he said, i think i do. then said evangelist, keep that light in your eye, and go up directly thereto: so shalt thou see the gate; at which, when thou knockest, it shall be told thee what thou shalt do.

Explanation:

To determine the parts showing the central character (Christian from The Pilgrim's Progress) is devoutly religious and God - fearing, we analyze each part:

1. The first part ("Then said Evangelist...make me cry"): The man expresses fear of the burden (sin and its consequences) and his unfitness for prison or judgment, showing awareness of spiritual peril and reliance on God's judgment, indicating religious devotion.
2. The second part ("Then said Evangelist...Flee from the wrath to come"): The Evangelist's call to flee God's wrath and the man's response (uncertainty but receiving the parchment) shows his concern for spiritual safety, aligning with God - fearing behavior.
3. The third part ("The man therefore read it...what thou shalt do"): This focuses on the path to take (the wicket - gate) rather than direct religious devotion or God - fearing nature.

So the two parts are the first ("Then said Evangelist...make me cry") and the second ("Then said Evangelist...Flee from the wrath to come").

Answer:

1. Then said Evangelist, Why not willing to die, since this life is attended with so many evils? The man answered, Because I fear that this burden is upon my back will sink me lower than the grave, and I shall fall into Tophet, [Isa. 30:33] And, Sir, if it be not fit, I am not fit, I am sure, to go to judgement, and from thence to execution; and the thoughts of these things make me cry
2. Then said Evangelist, If this be thy condition, why standest thou still? He answered, Because I know not whither to go. Then he gave him a parchment roll, and there was written within, Flee from the wrath to come. [Matt. 3:7]
