It is an axiom: that which is not felt, can not be expressed. Si vis me flere dolendum est Primum ipsi tibi; tunc tua me infortunia lædent, Telephe, vel Peleu: male si mandata loqueris, Aut dormitabo, aut ridebo.

Also that kind of obedience, which Tacitus speaketh of, is to be held suspected: Erant in officio, sed tamen qui mallent mandata imperantium interpretari quam exequi; disputing, excusing, cavilling upon mandates and directions, is a kind of shaking off the yoke, and assay of disobedience; especially if in those disputings, they which are for the direction, speak fearfully and tenderly, and those that are against it, audaciously.
Locus quoque ibi ostenditur, in quo Deus tradidit ei decem mandata, siue legem proprio digito scriptam, et sub rupe cauerna in qua mansit ieiunus diebus 40.

Circa eius medium habetur Ecclesia, nomine 40.
