To me the\r\nallegory also seems to signify that the husbandry of the Word is not to\r\nbe assigned equally to the clean and the unclean, the believer and the\r\nunbeliever; for the ox is clean, but the ass has been reckoned among\r\nthe unclean animals. But the benignant Word, abounding in humanity,\r\nteaches that neither is it right to cut down cultivated trees, or to\r\ncut down the grain before the harvest, for mischief’s sake; nor that\r\ncultivated fruit is to be destroyed at all—either the fruit of the\r\nsoil or that of the soul: for it does not permit the enemy’s country to\r\nbe laid waste.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER XVIII.
