The scripture hath a body without, and within a soul, spirit and life. It hath without a bark, a shell and as it were an hard bone for the fleshly minded to gnaw upon. And within it hath pith, kernel, marrow and all sweetness for God's elect which he hath chosen to give them his spirit, and to write his law and the faith of his son in their hearts.

William Tyndale — Prologue to The Prophet Jonah (c. 1531), teaching the right use of all Scripture
