Didaskalia De nobili dicto Davidis

Which fruits those are, the Apostle shows in Gal. 5:22.
1 Cor. 3:6: "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." And in verse 9: Theou geōrgion God's husbandry/field: we are God's field.

VI.
The exornation is tripartite. For it is elegantly derived first from the Palm; then from the Cedar; and finally from the circumstances of the house of Jehovah and His courts.

VII. Native soil of Palms.
Famous Judaea is even more famous for its Palms, as Pliny says in his Natural History, book 13, chapter 4.
But the Catholic Church is the most pleasant Palm-grove of Jesus Christ, which has been planted everywhere in the world by His hand.

VIII. The property of salt.
The Palm, Tāmār in Hebrew, Phoinix in Greek, loves salty soil. Therefore, where it is not, they sprinkle salt, not on the roots, but sending it a little further away, as Ruellius noted from Theophrastus in his book on the Nature of Plants, book 1, chapter 108.
However, a righteous man, sprinkled with the salt of Wisdom, professes in words and deeds what these sayings intend for him. For "every man shall be salted with fire: and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another" (Mark 9:49-50). Likewise: "Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man" (Col. 4:6).

IX.
Some claim that the Palm greatly abhors manure.
The spiritual Palm, namely the righteous man, is most gravely offended by the filth of sins, like foul manure. For he knows the commandment given to him: "Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Cor. 7:1). Likewise: "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still" (Rev. 22:11).
