 61        4, XLIV   |         And erring widely from the meaning of Scripture, he says that "

 73        4, L      |      understood as hating a secret meaning, the prophet would not have
 74        4, L      |          understand the figurative meaning, which veil is taken away
 75        4, LI     |            so successfully hit the meaning (of the sacred writers),

133        6, XLVI   |          in some slight degree the meaning of holy Scripture, when
134        6, XLIX   |            not even understand the meaning of the "Paradise" that was
135        6, XLIX   |          and have said without any meaning, "He placed the cherubim,

150        7, XI     |    Scripture may also find out its meaning for themselves; for although

166        7, LXVIII |           we must inquire into the meaning of the statement, that "
