Dove
Dove is an emblem of simplicity, innocence, purity, goodness, peace and ivine love, and
represents the Holy Ghost. Having no gall, is is the symbol of a true and faithful
Christian, who is oblig’d to forgive injuries, bear adversity patiently, and never
suffer the sun to go down upon his anger; but to do good to those that despightfully
use him.
