Simple, Sloth and Presumption

From the book: "Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan

I saw then in my dream, that he went on thus, even until he came at a bottom, where he saw, a little out of the way, three men fast asleep, with fetters upon their heels. Te name of the one was Simple, another Sloth, and the third Presumption.
Christian then seeing them lie in this case, went to them, if peradventure he might awake them, and cried,
"You are like them that sleep on the top of a mast, for the Dead Sea is under you— a gulf that hath no bottom." Prov 23:34
"Awake, therefore, and come away; be willing also, and I will help you of with your irons. He also told them, If he that “goeth about like a roaring lion” comes by, you will certainly become a prey to his." 1Pt 5:8
With that they looked upon him, and began to reply in this sort: Simple said, “I see no danger”; Sloth said, “Yet a little more sleep”; and Presumption said, “Every fat must stand upon its own bottom; what is the answer else that I should give thee?” And so they lay down to sleep again, and Christian went on his way.
Yet was he troubled to think that men in that danger should so little esteem the kindness of him that so freely offered to help them, both by awakening of them, counseling of them, and profering to help them of with their irons.
