On page 212, Book 9, Chapter 4, St. Augustine is talking about vanity. Then, at the end of the chapter, he says, "For in your eternal simplicity I would possess other 'corn, and wine, and oil.'"
The footnote at the end of this quote directed me to Psalms 4:8, which is, "I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety."
I am rather confused. How does Psalms 4:8 realte to "corn, and wine, and oil?"
