________________ KNOWLEDGE 37 " IB e candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed ? and not to be set on a candle-stick? For there is nothing hid which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."Mark iv. 21-23. "The soul, in my opinion, is sensual. Nothing, therefore, pertaining to the soul is unconnected with sense, nothing pertaining to sense is unconnected with the soul."-(Tertullian) A.N.O.L. vol. xv. p. 190. "... We see, then, that in opposition to the bodily senses another faculty is provided of a much more serviceable character, even the powers of the soul, which produce an understanding of that truth whose realities are not palpable nor open to the bodily senses, but are very remote from men's everyday knowledge, lying in secret-in the heights above, and in the presence of God Himself."-Ibid. p. 450. "... And Peter said : You do not understand what I mean, Simon. But listen and understand : 'When it is said that the Son will revea) Him to whom te wishes, it is meant that such an one is to learn of Him not by in. struction, but by revelation only. For it is revelation when that which lies secretly veiled in all the hearts of men is revealed (un. veiled) by His (God's) own will without any utterance. And thus knowledge comes to one, not because he has been instructed, but because he has understood.'"-(Clementine Homilies) A.N.C.L. vol. xvii. p. 278. "... But He, pronouncing me blessed, pointed out to me that it as the Father who had revealed it to me; and from this time I learned that revelation is knowledge gained without instruction, and without apparition and dreams. And this is indeed the case. For in the (soul) which has been placed in us by God, there is all the truth; but it is covered and revealed by the hand of God, who works so far as each one through his knowledge deserves."-Ibid. p. 271. "Wherefore He confidently made statements respecting things that are to be-I mean sufferings, places, limits. For being a faultless Prophet, and looking upon all things with the boundless eye of His soul, He knows hidden things. But if we should hold, as many do, that even the true Prophet, not always, but sometimes, when He has the Spirit, and through it, foreknows, but when He has it zot" is ignorant,-if we should suppose thus, we should deceive ourPage Navigation
