Chapter 1: http://www.taoism.net/ttc/complete.htm
The Yi Jing commented:
The named is the mother of myriad things -> 19
The formation
19 - To accompany
One calls the youngest so they return.
My interpretation:
I was expecting that the named would be represented by the hexagram 2, however the hexagram 19 is related to giving birth and this answer is perfectly clear. We are naturally going to ask a few follow-up questions here.
Who or what calls? (19)
Who or what calls? -> 9.1.2 > 53
The formation
9 - Appearance
Something is not yet visible.
1 - One resists.
2 - One sees that it won't last and leaves with sadness.
Someone who cannot resist? We need more questions.
In the making
53 - To associate
One offers their fellows to overcome constraints by associating.
Who or what is not visible? (9)
Who or what is not visible? -> 9

The formation
41 - Remove

2 - The difficulty would be too great if one accepted.
3 - In a trio, one goes away.
It seems related to giving birth. But we can ask more questions. It can be understood as too difficult to accept that one leaves so the question about 41.2 needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Conclusion:
The comment of the hexagram 19 is One calls the youngest so they return. This is related to John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word is described with the hexagram 9, because Someone is not yet visible, but makes things appears. Who is not visible? According to John 1:18 God (or the Tao here) is not visible. The youngest are described as specialists, and they return to control decline. The sentence should be The Word is the mother of the myriad things instead.
