V747.27-34, P762.20-28   Of 77 cards that could have come up, Weissmann is
“covered,” that is his present condition is set forth, by The Tower. It is
a puzzling card, and everybody has a different story on it. It shows a bolt
of lightning striking a tall phallic structure, and two figures, one
wearing a crown falling from it. Some read ejaculation, and leave it at
that. Others see a Gnostic or Cathar symbol for the Church of Rome, and
this is generalized to mean any System which cannot tolerate heresy: a
system which, by its nature, must sooner or later fall. We know by now that
it is also the Rocket.

What exactly does "set forth" mean here?
