Mercy
Feeble-mind is a weak but determined pilgrim whom Mr. Great-heart rescues from Slay-good the giant. Feeble-mind’s health is poor, and he often receives special help from other pilgrims. He is Mr. Fearing’s nephew. He hesitates to join Christiana’s group of pilgrims, fearing he’ll be a burden, but they promise to accommodate him. He becomes friends with Mr. Ready-to-halt.

Part 2: Feeble-mind and a Visit to Vanity
Quotes
FEEBLE. Alas, I want a suitable Companion […] but I, as you see, am weak […] and shall be offended and made weak at that which others can bear. I shall like no Laughing, I shall like no gay Attire, I shall like no unprofitable Questions. Nay I am so weak a man, as to be offended with that which others have a liberty to do. I do not yet know all the Truth. I am a very ignorant Christian man. […]
GREAT-HEART. But Brother […] I have it in Commission to comfort the feeble-minded, and to support the weak. You must needs go along with us; we will wait for you, we will lend you our help, we will deny ourselves of some things both opinionative and practical for your sake, we will not enter into doubtful disputations before you, we will be made all things to you rather than you shall be left behind.
