1. Doves are sacred there. Euseb. Preparat. Evang. Lib. 8. 5. 2. They are terrified with the least noise. Terretur minimo penae stridore Columba. 3. Doves fly swiftly, Oh! that I had the wings of a Dove (saith the Psalmist, Psal. 55. 6.) 4. They fly by flocks, Isa. 60. 8. Who are those that fly as a cloud, and as the Doves to their windows? 5. It may be from those Countries, Doves come at certain times of the year, as several sorts of Fowls do to to us in their seasons.
