“Does Moses prevail too much in the hearts of the people? Something must be found against him. If we can find nothing against him, yet we will find something against his wife . . . But now we are resolved to pick out whatever we can get information of, though it is about things done many years ago, when they were in the university, when they lived in such or such places in times of old. If it will serve our turn, we may fasten it upon them. Proverbs 16:27: ‘An ungodly man diggeth up evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire.’ If he has nothing above ground, he will dig something up, though it is what, both by God and man, has been buried long since” (Burroughs, Irenicum, p. 243).
