    For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that
    one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles
    of God: and are become such as have need of milk, and not of
    strong meat.
    For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of
    righteousness: for he is a babe.
    But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
    those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern
    both good and evil.

And must have meals, at least one meal a day;
He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,
But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey;

Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way,
Your laboring people think beyond all question,
Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.
