If you approach the Scriptures with all humility and with regulated caution, you will perceive that you have been breathed upon by the Holy Will. It will bring about a transformation which is impossible to describe. You will perceive the delights of the Blessed Bridegroom; you will see the riches of Solomon. The hidden treasures of eternal wisdom will be yours.Yet I would caution you. the entrance to this abode of wisdom is narrow. The doorway is low, and there is danger in not stooping when you enter.
–Erasmus, The Handbook of the Militant Christian
