“…first minister of this grace?—a man possessing nothing, and a lover of the desert, yet no hater of mankind: who ate locusts, and winged his soul for heaven: feeding upon honey, and speaking things both sweeter and more salutary than honey: clothed with a garment of camel’s hair, and shewing in himself the pattern…” — editor's note: The locust being winged suggest the idea of growing wings for the soul. Is. xl. 31: πτεροφυησουσιν ὡς ἀετοί.
