"For there have risen many who have given……" — Hilary of Poitiers

For there have risen many who have given to the plain words… - Hilary of Poitiers
"For there have risen many who have given to the plain words of Holy Writ some arbitrary interpretation of their own, instead of its true and only sense, and this in defiance of the clear meaning of words. Heresy lies in the sense assigned, not in the word written; the guilt is that of the expositor, not of the text."
