780. 'And beasts of burden and sheep' signifies that they no longer have a worship out of external or natural goods and truths of the Church because they do not have anything inwardly in the worship that corresponds to the things named above. These things are similar to those that have been expounded above (n. 777, 778), with the difference that there they are spiritual goods and truths and celestial goods and truths, but here natural goods and truths, concerning the distinction of which n. 774 above may be seen. By 'beasts of burden and sheep' are signified the sacrifices that were made with (per) oxen, bullocks, he-goats, sheep, kids, rams, she-goats and lambs. The oxen and bullocks are understood by 'beasts of burden' and the kids, rams, she-goats and lambs by 'sheep'; and the sacrifices were the external things of worship that are also called natural worship.
