There be diuers and sundrie senses in the scripture (as bothe Origen and Augustine doe de∣clare) whiche be not for euerye simple brayne to finde out.* 1.1 The mysterie oft is hidde, the well of scripture is depe, puteus altus est: euery ones strength is not hable to drawe vp the water of lyfe furth of the botome of it. Ther∣fore the welle muste be couered, lest the yonglinges fall into it, and so be drowned.
