1039. Full of names of blasphemy. That this signifies, which are adulterated and falsified, is evident from the signification of name, as denoting the quality of a thing and of a state (concerning which see n. 102, 148, 676, 695, 841); hence by full of names is signified the quality of the holy things of the Word; and from the signification of blasphemy, when said of the Word, as denoting the adulteration and falsification thereof (concerning which see n. 778).
