Note 337 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Rushworth, v. 337. Husband, 208.
"There must be some laymen in the synod, to overlook the clergy, lest they spoil the civil work; just as when the good woman puts a cat into the milk house to kill a mouse, she sends her maid to look after the cat, lest the cat should eat up the cream."—Selden's Table Talk, 169.
