Excerpt from The Church's One Foundation: And Other Sermons Our text, like many other passages of Holy Writ, is one which, through the false interpretation put upon it by corrupt human nature, has been made to feed and foster the very propensity which it was given to subdue.

It comes from the lowest and worst of all the hells, and tends to drag all who receive and cherish it down to the same dark abyss.
