- Vulgate (Clementine)
- et sicut parturientis, cor tuum phantasias patitur. Nisi ab Altissimo fuerit emissa visitatio, ne dederis in illis cor tuum :

Haydock's commentary
Travail. Such things cannot be explained. Twenty people will all give different interpretations.
High, as those of Jacob, Joseph, &c., were. Yet it is difficult to make the discrimination. (St. Gregory, dial. iv. 48.)
Homer admits of two sorts of dreams. (Odyssey xix.)
