2 Chronicles 18:6-7 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might inquire of him?… As the Turk taunted some Christians at Constantinople, who said that they came thither to suffer for the truth, telling them that they needed not to have come so far for that; for had they but told the truth at home, they could not have missed suffering for it. Telling truth needs not travel far for enmity; enmity will encounter it at home, wheresoever it be. Hence is that definition that Luther made of preaching, "Proedicare nihil eat quam derivare in se furorem," etc. — that to preach, and preach home, as he did, was nothing else but to stir up the furies of hell about their ears. (J. Spencer.)
