Apostles of Christ

• Peter

The Apostles were as Letters and Christ as the essence of the Word, and as such, the Apostles were consonant with Christ's inner meaning

"The Apostles were even as Letters, and Christ was the essence of the Word Itself; and the meaning of the Word, which is grace everlasting, cast a splendour on those Letters. Again, since the Letter is a member of the Word, it therefore, in its inner meaning, is consonant with the Word.”
