Sen pitää oleman ijankaikkisen säädyn teidän sukukunnissanne, kaikissa tiedän asuinsioissanne: ettette yhtään lihavuutta eli mitään verta söisi.
Mooseksen kirja 3:17

1262. From this it now becomes clear that 'the earth' here also means the Church; for when the earth is mentioned, one's only perception is of the nation or people there, and when a nation or people is envisaged one's only perception is of their character. Consequently 'the earth' means nothing other than the Church, as shown already in 662, 1066.
