    Yet shall you have to rectify your palate,
    An olive, capers, or some better salad
    Ushering the mutton; with a short-legged hen,
    If we can get her, full of eggs, and then,
    Limons, and wine for sauce: to these a coney
    Is not to be despaired of for our money;
    And though fowl now be scarce, yet there are clerks,
    The sky not falling, think we may have larks.

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.

Or as read more

For, as a surfeit of the sweetest things
The deepest loathing to the stomach brings,
Or as the heresies that men do leave
Are hated most of those they did deceive,
So thou, my surfeit and my heresy,
Of all be hated, but the most of me!
