Saints compared to Doves.

Mat. 10.16. Be ye harmless as Doves.

DOves are, 1. Meek. 2. Harmless. 3. Chast. 4. They make their Nests in a Rock. 5. They feed upon pure Grain, not on Cartion, as Fowls of Prey do. 6. Have a lovely Eye, and always fixed upon their Mates. 7. They love to keep Company together. 8. Mourn when they have lost the Sight of their Mates. 9. They are often molested by Fowls of Prey. 10. They are very fruit∣ful. 11. They love to be by sweet Springs and Rivers of Water. 12. They were appointed under the Law for Sacrifices. 13. They have no Defence but by Flight. Upon all these Considerations Saints may be compared to Doves; which is largely opened under the Eighth Head of Metaphors, concerning the Church, to which we refer you.
