Feb 22, 2021 at 8:36 comment added Steve can help (+1) Great answer. To add to the list of church fathers you've attested, Tertullian also belongs in the feminine-reading camp. At face value the masculine reading also appears to be supported by Irenaeus (Against Heresies), Theophilus of Antioch, Hippolytus, Cyprian and the Apocalypse of Moses. Augustine's position would be worth an answer all its own - he seems to follow a feminine or neuter view but typically interprets the feminine subject as the Church.
