23. "Amen," significat confirmationem Divinam ex Veritate, ita ex Se Ipso. -"Amen" significat veritatem; et quia Dominus erat ipsa Veritas, ideo toties dixit, "Amen dico vobis" (ut Matth. v. 18, 26; cap. vi. 16; cap. x. 23, 42; cap. xvii. 20; cap. xviii. 13, 18; cap. xxv. 12{1}; cap. xxviii. 20; Joh. iii. 11; cap. v. 19, 24, 25; cap. vi. 26{2}, 32, 47, 53; cap. viii. 34, 51, 58; cap. x. 7; (cap. xii.) 24; cap. xiii. 16, 20, 21; cap. xxi. 18, 25);
et in sequentibus in Apocalypsi:
"Haec dicit Amen, Testis fidelis et verus" (iii{3}. 14), hoc est Dominus. Quod Dominus sit ipsa Veritas, docet Ipse (Joh. xiv. 6; cap. xvii. 19). @1 12 pro "2"$ @2 26 pro "27"$ @3 iii. pro "ii."$
