And have not hid it.
There is a twofold hiding; first, a hiding to keep a thing safe, that we loose it not; secondly, a hiding, that we keep it close, and not communicate it: In the former sense, we must hide the truth of God, but we may not in the latter. When David saith, I have hid thy Commandments in my heart: when Mary hid the sayings of Christ in her hart; and when the man that found the treasure (Ma. 13.44.) Went away and hid ⟨p. 81⟩it, and for joy thereof sold all he had, and bought the field: All these hid it, that it might be forth-coming for their own use, they did not hide it, as unwilling to bring it forth, for the use of others; so the idle Servant hid his Talent, and was justly condemned for hiding it, Matth. 25.
