What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Ver. 3. The lesson whereby thou dost reproach me I will hear; and the spirit of my understanding will answer me. 2. As though he said in plain words; 'Thy words indeed I hear, but whether they were delivered aright, I discern by the spirit of my understanding.' For they that disregard the words of the teacher, employ his teaching not for an assistance but for an occasion of contention, rather that they may criticise the things heard than to follow them. …
Thomas Aquinas
For he thought that he should not reject the opinion of Job about the hope of the future life, and so he says, "I will hear the teachings by which you argue with me," in believing what you have said about the future resurrection, but I still do not dismiss my first opinion totally. He expresses this saying, "and the spirit of my understanding will answer for me," as if to say: My intellect still knows what it should answer for its own opinion.
