    What will not luxury taste? Earth, sea, and air,
    Are daily ransack'd for the bill of fare.
    Blood stuffed in skins is British Christians' food,
    And France robs marshes of the croaking brood.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that
one teach you again which read more

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.
