Give not that holy thing unto dogs, nether cast your pearls before the swine, lest they tread them under their feet, & the other turn again and to tear you.
Gyue nat that holy thynge vnto dogges, nether cast your perles before the swyne, lest they treade thē vnder their fete, & the other turne agayne and to teare you.
The dogs are those obstinate and indurate,1 which for the blind zeal of their leaven / wherewith they have soured both the doctrine & also the works, maliciously resist the truth and persecute the ministers thereof, and are those wolves among which Christ sendeth his sheep, warning them / not only to be single and pure in their doctrine, but also wise & circumspect & to beware of men. For they should bring them before judges & kings and slay them / thinking to do God service therein, that is as Paul to the Romans testifieth of the Jews, for blind zeal to their own false and feigned righteousness / persecute the righteousness of God. ❧ / ❧
The dogges are those obstinate and indurate,1 which for the blynde zele of their leuen / wherwith they haue sowred both the doctrine & also ye workes, maliciously resyst the truth and persecute the mynystres therof, and are those wolues amonge whiche Christe sendeth hys shepe, warnyng them / nat only to be syngle and pure in theyr doctrine, but also wyse & circumspecte & to beware of men. For they shulde brynge them before iudges & kynges and slay them / thynkynge to do God seruice therin, that is as Paule to the Romaynes testifyeth of ye Iewes, for blind zele to their owne false and fayned ryghtwysnesse / persecute the ryghtwysnesse of God. ❧ / ❧
