S. 1Hierome, writing unto Apronius of the state of the East Churches, where he then lived, saith thus: Hîc quieta sunt omnia. Etsi enim venena pectoris non amiserint, tamen os impietatis non audent aperire. Sed sunt sicut aspides surdae, obturantes aures suas: Al things here are quiet. For, all be it they have not left the poison of their bartes, yet they dare not open their wicked mouths. But they are as the deaf Serpents, shutting up their ears, and will hear nothing.
