They Who Understand Scripture

Thomas Brooks:

Quote:
They that are in adversity, saith Luther, do better understand Scriptures; but those that are in prosperity, read them as a verse in Ovid.
Jeremiah Burroughs:

Quote:
They that are afflicted understand Scripture, says Luther, but those who are secure in their prosperity read them as a verse in Ovid.
Does anyone have the citation to the Luther reference? Thanks.
