Obstinate
"OBSTINATE is evidently a mocker, who scoffs at the possessors of religion. He cannot understand why the Pilgrim should leave his worldly associations, or believe the book that bids him to forsake all for Christ. He even waxes angry because his words seem to take no effect. And by-and-by he rails on the Pilgrim, and reviles him for what be believes to be his folly or his fancy in committing himself to the fortunes of so strange an expedition."[1]
