91. [verse 8] 'And to the Angel of the Church of the Smyrnaeans write' signifies to and concerning those who as to life are in goods, but as to doctrine are in untruths. That these are understood by 'the Church of the Smyrnaeans' is plain by virtue of the things written to it, understood in the spiritual sense.

91. (Vers. 8.) "Et Angelo Ecclesiae Smyrnaeorum scribe," significat ad illos et de illis qui in bonis quoad vitam sunt, sed in falsis quoad doctrinam. - Quod illi per "Ecclesiam Smyrnaeorum" intelligantur, patet ex scriptis ad illam in Sensu spirituali intellectis.
