4375. 'He said, Let us travel on and go' means a further stage, that is to say, in the joining together of good and truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'travelling and going' which, it is evident, implies progress towards things that stand further away. For progress and a stage further are contained in the internal sense of the phrases that follow next.
