some are foxes

 

Now there is a verse in the Song of Songs (2:15) that has had a certain significance in my academic work. In the King James Version it is this: “Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.” In medieval Christian exegesis the “vineyard” was widely taken to be an allegorical representation of the Church. The little foxes spoiling the vines were therefore a figure of the heretics who troubled the Church. So widely was this allegory accepted that various actual “heretics” started tocall themselves “the little foxes”.
