1827. That 'a turtle dove' means those things that are the representatives of exterior spiritual things, and 'a fledgling' those that are the representatives of interior spiritual, becomes clear from what has been stated about celestial things, the exterior things of which were meant by 'a heifer', the interior by 'a she-goat', and those that stand in between these by 'a ram'.
