As Great-heart was knocked down with this giant's club, so many a faithful minister has been confounded with the subtle arguments of a cunning Disputer.

Where is the Disputer of this world?
"Church and State as Seen in the Formation of Christendom"
T. W. Allies
Hence, it is my prayer, that you will proceed gently; be no Disputer of words, but a promoter of faith, love and good works, and not, as the old proverb says, 'raise a spoon and break a bowl;' for you might have a zeal, when you have reached a sure understanding, to press it upon others and yet not reach the heart; and besides, to speak humanly, do great injury to the Gospel; as, for example, many pious people might be brought thereby to persecution and ruin, when the matter was not even worth talking about.
