"Whom shall he teach knowledge; and whom shall he make to understand doctrine ?
them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be
upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and
there a little." Isaiah xxviii. 9, 10.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel
to the poor." Luke iv. 18.

"To the poor the Gospel is preached." Luke vii. 22.
