762. Verses 15, 16. "And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the river. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth."
"And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river," signifies crafty reasonings in abundance concerning justification by faith alone by those who think sensually and not spiritually; "that he might cause her to be carried away by the river," signifies that that church might be blinded and scattered by reasonings. "And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth," signifies that those who are of a church which is not in truths afforded assistance, and did not accept the crafty reasonings of those who were [in] faith separated from [charity].

"And the earth helped the woman the earth opened her mouth swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth," signifies that those who are of the church that is not in truths afforded assistance did not receive the crafty reasonings of those who were in faith separated from charity 764).
762. VERSUS 15, 16.
"Et ejecit serpens post mulierem ex ore suo aquam tanquam flumen, ut illam a flumine absorptam faceret. Et adjuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et deglutivit flumen quod ejecit draco ex ore suo."

16. "Et adjuvit terra mulierem, et aperuit terra os suum, et deglutivit flumen quod ejecit draco ex ore suo", significat quod illi qui ab ecclesia quae non in veris, operam praestiterint, et astutas ratiocinationes illorum qui a fide separata essent, non receperint [n. 764] .
