4479. These men are peaceable with us. That this signifies agreement, here as to doctrinal things, is evident from the signification of "men," as being truths (see n. 3134) and therefore also doctrinal things, for the truths of the church when collected into one and acknowledged, are called doctrinal things; and from the signification of "peaceable," as being that they agree, for in the spiritual sense those are called "peaceable" who are in agreement as to the doctrinal things and dogmas of the church.
