810. 'From man to beasts, to creeping things, to birds of the air' 1 means the nature of the evil of those people - 'man' the nature itself, 'beasts' desires, 'creeping things' pleasures, 'birds of the air' 1 derivative falsities. This is clear from the meaning of all of these, dealt with already. Consequently there is no need to pause over them here.

Bilješke:

1. literally, bird of the heavens (or the skies)
