Ans. Such lying wresting of Scripture from the literal and native sense of the Spirit is the way with Origen to turn all Scripture into allegories, and types; for read the words, and they are a Prophetical threatening of death to the false teacher by his nearest blood-friends, alluding to Deut. 13. where father and mother were to cast stones at those, dearest to them, if they should prophesy lies, and this is to be fulfilled under the Messiah's opened fountain of his blood, v. 1, 2, 3. I will cause the Prophet to cease, his father shall threaten him. Thou shalt not live, he shall be ashamed, and shall not dare to profess himself a false Prophet, but a herdsman, and he shall have visible wounds; these are the wounds I received in the house of my friends.

2. What sense is there here? these that begat him, that is, his criers up that extolled his learning shall say, thou shalt not live, that is, thou shalt be a Prophet no more in request, and they shall thrust him through by strength of reason and confound him. What is it to mock the word, if this be to expone it? his criers up are his Disciples and seduced followers? shall they refute him and they only? not the Pastors and teachers?
