SD 1464, 1469 - interpretation and confirmation

SD 1464
For it is also well known
that anyone is able to take something from the Word
and interpret it according to his own opinions,
as long as he adheres to the letter only;
and he explains it as he chooses in the interior sense,
as can be evident from many things.

SD 1469
For those who take up truths from the Word of the Lord as premises,
and then confirm them by philosophical material
or arguments derived from nature,
do not suffer any hardship provided they do not do so out of self-love.
On the other hand, those who do so from their own ingenuity,
assuming certain premises
and from them trying to hatch out or support spiritual and heavenly truths,
do suffer hardship.
(March 17, 1748)
