Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Matt 7:15 · Douay-Rheims
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
On this verse:
“(Serm. in Mont. ii. 25.) In this place we must guard against the error of such as imagine that the two trees refer to two different natures; the one of God, the other not. But we affirm that they derive no countenance from these two trees; (Manichees, vid. infr.) as it will be evident to any who will read the context that He is speaking here of men.”
