St. Bede: "Divine Scriptures"

“THE whole series of divine Scriptures is interpreted in a fourfold way. In all holy books one should ascertain what everlasting truths are therein intimated, what deeds are narrated, what future events are foretold, and what commands or counsels are there contained.”

~St. Bede the Venerable (c. 672-735): De Tabernaculo, 1.
