CHAP. V.
After this Vision containing the glory of the divine Majesty was showed unto John, that he might know from what fountain this Prophecy was derived, now in this fifth Chapter is taught and showed by what means and by whose mediation, the knowledge of such hidden mysteries were revealed unto the Church; namely, by the means and mediation of Jesus Christ, in whom only the counsels and secrets of God the Father are opened, and made known unto men. For he is the great Prophet and Doctor of the Church, which is come down from the bosom of his Father, and hath made known unto us whatsoever he hath received of his Father, as he himself testifieth. And the Church is commanded by a voice from Heaven to hear him, and him alone.
