The Doctrine of Justification by Faith

5. As to the extent of Divine Revelations objectively, those which he granted by his Spirit unto his Apostles after his Ascension, were beyond those which he Personally taught them, so far as they are recorded in the Writings of the Evangelists. For he told them plainly not long before his death, that he had many things to say unto them which then they could not bear, Joh. 16.12. And for the knowledge of those things he refers them to the coming of the Spirit to make Revelation of them from himself, in the next words; Howbeit when he the Spirit of Truth is come, he will guide you into all Truth; for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak, and he will show you things to come; He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and show it unto you, ⟨p. 76⟩ver. 13, 14. And on this account he had told them before, that it was expedient for them that he should go away, that the Holy Spirit might come unto them, whom he would send from the Father, ver. 7. Hereunto he referred the full and clear manifestation of the mysteries of the Gospel. So false as well as dangerous and scandalous are those insinuations of Socinus and his followers.
