Of the other side, touching the Word of God, with most terrible words he frayeth thee from it, and biddeth thee to consider of other things, and to behold, I know not,1 what. Ye prostitute the Scriptures, he saith, as Bawds do their Harlots, to the Ungodly, Unlearned, Rascal people: Again, Prentices, Light Persons, and the riffraff of the people: And again, The Unlearned people were kept from the Reading of the Scriptures by the special providence of God, that precious stones should not be thrown before Swine. 2In such regard these men have, as well the Holy Scriptures, as also the People of God. The scriptures they resemble to common Harlots, and the vilest creatures of the stews: The people of God they call, Ungodly, Rascals, Riffraff, and Filthy Swine.
