It\r\nis He who reveals the Father of the universe to whom He wills, and as\r\nfar as human nature can comprehend. “For no man knoweth the Son but\r\nthe Father, nor the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son shall\r\nreveal Him.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1080\" id=\"FNanchor_1080\">[1080]</a> Rightly, then, the apostle says that it was by\r\nrevelation that he knew the mystery: “As I wrote afore in few words,\r\naccording as ye are able to understand my knowledge in the mystery\r\nof Christ.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1081\" id=\"FNanchor_1081\">[1081]</a> “According as ye are able,” he said, since he knew\r\nthat some had received milk only, and had not yet received meat,\r\nnor even milk simply.
