6759. 'One of his brothers' means the truths to which he was to be joined. This is clear from the meaning of 'brothers' as the Church's truths, dealt with above in 6756. Since he was himself guided by these truths, and the Church's truths, meant by 'brothers', were what he was to be joined to, that joining together is meant here because of the train of thought in the internal sense.
