Salmos 78:70

David sheweth in a psalm that he was chosen from a station which taught simplicity, for he was chosen from following the sheep, even as he himself confesseth and calleth to mind his election in one of his psalms, saying, "He chose David His servant, and took him from following a flock of sheep, and from after the ewes that gave suck." — 13 Ascetic Discourses, Discourse 4 -- On Faith: First Discourse on Simplicity

Salmos 78:72

And teaching that his kingdom also was governed by simplicity David saith, "He pastured them in the integrity of his heart," and it is manifest that integrity is simplicity. — 13 Ascetic Discourses, Discourse 4 -- On Faith: First Discourse on Simplicity
