ACC ~ Matthew 6 v26

MORE AND LESS IMPORTANT

AUGUSTINE: These examples are not to be analyzed like allegories. We must not inquire about the allegorical significance of the birds of the air or the lilies of the field. These examples are proposed so that more important things may be suggested from things of less importance. SERMON ON THE MOUNT 2.15.52. [1]
