If it be objected that the Holy Ghost did not prove to the world its own sin, nor Christ’s justice, nor its own condemnation, we reply that He did, though the world in many of its children closed its eyes to the proof; _Oculos habent et non videbunt_. (Ps. cxiii. 5.) The world saw in the sanctity of the Christian religion, in the miracles wrought by Christ’s followers, in the power of the Apostles and their successors over devils and those possessed by devils, what ought to have convinced it of Christ’s Divinity, and of its own sin and inevitable condemnation. 12. Adhuc multa habeo vobis 12. I have yet many things to dicere: sed non potestis say to you: but you cannot portare modo. hear them now. 12. *I have yet many things.* Among these many things which they were not yet able to bear were, probably, the nature of His earthly kingdom, and the abrogation of the Jewish Law, in as far as it was judicial and ceremonial. As Jews who had grown up imbued with deepest reverence for the Mosaic Law, the Apostles were naturally slow to believe that it was to be abrogated; and immediately before St. Peter received Cornelius into the Church as the first‐fruits of the Gentile world, he had to be taught by a vision from heaven that the Jewish distinction between clean and unclean meats was no longer to exist. (Acts x. 10‐16.) And as to the nature of Christ’s earthly kingdom, the Apostles in common with the rest of their race still hoped that the Messias would establish a mighty Jewish empire, and restore Israel to a foremost place among the nations. Even on Ascension day they still cherished this hope, as we learn from the Acts: “Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” (Acts i. 6). 13. Cum autem venerit ille 13. But when he, the Spirit of Spiritus veritatis, docebit truth, is come, he will teach vos omnem veritatem: non enim you all truth. For he shall loquetur a semetipso: sed not speak of himself: but what quaecumque audiet loquetur, et things soever he shall hear, quae ventura sunt annuntiabit he shall speak: and the things vobis. that are to come he shall shew you.
