Sin would lie hid, if the word did not discouer it.
But to proceed: the Lord bewraying his sin by Samuel which otherwise should not have been known to us, or any at that time: doth show thereby that much sin should be hidden, and not be known to be sin, and consequently purged out and abandoned, if God did not by the light of his word reveal and discover it.
