S. Augustine saithe, 1Omnes insipientissimi Haeretici, qui se Christianos vocari volunt, audacias figmentorum suorum, quas maximè exhorret sensus humanus, hac occasion Evangelicae sententiae colorare conantur, ubi Dominus ait, Adhuc multa vobis habeo dicere: Sed ea non potestis portare modò: Al the most peevish Heretics, that fain would be called Christians, go about to colour the bold Vanities of their Inventions, which the very sense and reason of Man doth most abhor, with the pretence of this saying in the Gospel, where as our Lord saith thus: I have many things to say unto you: but as now ye are not able to bear them.

Even so saith Tertullian, Eadem dementia confitentur, Apostolos quidem nihil ignorasse,1 nec diversa inter se praedicasse. Sed non omnia volunt illos omnibus revelasse: Sed quaedam Palàm. & Universis: quaedam secretò, & Paucis demandasse: By a like kind of Madness they Confess, that the Apostles in deed were ignorant of no thing: nor taught any contrary Doctrine among themselves. But they say, The Apostles revealed not all things to all men: but showed certain things openly, and to all: and other certain things secretly, and unto a few.
