Matthew 10:6

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Ver. 6. To the lost sheep] This is the common condition of us all. "All we like sheep have gone astray," Isaiah 53:6. The prophet saith not, like dogs; for these, though lost, will find their way home again, Nor like swine; for these also, when lugged, or against a storm, will hie to their home. But like sheep, that silly creature, than the which as none is more apt to wander, so neither any more unable to return.
