“It is the soul, too, that says, "I am a strong city, a city besieged." The city is besieged through Christ, the city is that heavenly Jerusalem, in which there are interpreters of God's law and men skilled in doctrine in great abundance; through them one seeks the Word of God.”
Ambrose of Milan, 4th c. — On Isaac and the Soul 5.39
