    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.

That all the year eats neither partridge not quail,
But sets up his rest and makes up his feast,
With a crust of brown bread and a pot of good ale.

Blood stuffed in skins is British Christians' food,
And France robs marshes of the croaking brood.
