Original source (English)
To cast stones at any one, is to assaile him with words and injuries; but to be stoned and hurt with stones, is to hear and suffer injuries; for stones represent injurious spéeches. Oftentimes it is a journey or flight, for he which is assailed with stones must fly: when there are many which cast stones, this dream is good for him which hopeth for mony or profit, and comodity by many.
