9661. 'Two bases under one board and two bases under one board' means through the joining of truth to good everywhere. This is clear from the meaning of 'two' as a joining together, dealt with in 1686, 3519, 5194, 8423; from the meaning of 'bases' as truth providing support, dealt with in 9645; and from the meaning of 'board' as good lending support, dealt with in 9634. The repetition of exactly the same words, as also several times previously, implies what shall be so with every single thing, consequently everywhere.
