Jeremiah 18:5

"And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Shall I not be able to do to you as the potter, O house of Israel? says the Lord." Each one understands the things written according to his ability, the one more superficially, as though drawing his understanding from them from a surface spring, the other more deeply, as one drawing up from a well. And both can be helped, since the same thing is for one a spring and for the other a well. The Gospel bears witness, when it recounts the things concerning the Samaritan woman; for there the same thing is named "spring" and "well," and in turn it is sometimes called a spring and sometimes a well. Let him who is able take note, that he may know that the same thing in its substance is for the superficial one a spring, but for the deeper one a well. This is for me a preface to the account that is coming, concerning the clay vessel that fell apart from the potter's hand and was again molded. Some have viewed these things more simply and have understood them. I shall set before you their account and interpretation; after this, if we have anything deeper, this too we shall recount. It is possible, they say, that here the things concerning the resurrection are indicated. For if the clay vessel fell apart from the potter's hands, and from the same material of the same clay he makes "it into another vessel as it pleased him before him," then the potter — God — of our bodies, the Craftsman of our structure, when this falls apart and is shattered for whatever cause, is able to take it up and renew it and make it a more beautiful and better "other vessel, as it pleased him before him to make." Let this account too have its charm.
