1075. Verse 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and pointed it out to his two brothers outside.

'Ham' and 'Canaan' have the same meaning here as previously - 'Ham' the corrupted Church, 'Canaan' worship in external things devoid of internal. 'He saw his father's nakedness' means that he noticed the errors and perversities mentioned already. 'And he pointed it out to his two brothers outside' means that he mocked. They are called 'his brothers' because he professed faith.
