4455. 'Let me find grace in your eyes, and I will give that which you tell me' means that if they on their part were similar in mind to him on his part. This is clear from the meaning of 'finding grace in someone's eyes' as a phrase implying a strong inclination, dealt with in 3980, here a strong inclination to give whatever they told him. The meaning of the words used here - if they on their part were similar in mind to him on his part - is evident from the sequence of thought in the internal sense, for 'giving that which they told him' in that sense means making one with them in truth and good.
