Mt 7, 6English original
Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
(ubi sup.) That which is despised is said to be trodden under foot: hence it is said, Lest perchance they tread them under foot.
