Consideren al alfarero, que amasa la arcilla blanda y, con gran esfuerzo, da forma a cada recipiente para nuestro uso; de la misma arcilla hace tanto los recipientes destinados a usos limpios como los destinados al uso contrario, y solo el mismo alfarero puede decir cuál es cuál.
For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.
