'Of all trees, I observe, God hath chosen the vine, a low plant that creeps, upon the helpful wall; of all beasts, the soft and patient lamb; of all fouls, the mild and guileless dove. Christ is the rose of the field, and the lily of the valley. When God appeared to Moses, it was not in the lofty cedar, nor the sturdy oak, nor the spreading plane; but in a bush, a humble, slender, abject shrub; as if he would, by these elections, check the conceited arrogance of man.': Owen Feltham.
