Even that which was hidden from the wise and intelligent was revealed to the unlearned, but not without symbols. The practice of the prophets was not to be abolished at once. It would have been impossible to have done so. 'What the prophets said and did, ' writes Justin Martyr, 'they veiled by parables and types, so that it was not easy for all to understand the most (of what they said), since they concealed the truth by these means, that those who are eager to find out and learn it might do so with much 2 Tim. iii. 5. labour.' In a figurative form, in parables first, more plainly afterwards, 'the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven' were proclaimed. St. Paul preached the eternal and yet hidden wisdom in 'a mystery, ' even 'to them that are perfect, ' and not at all to those ...
