Hence Observe:
Truth must not be hid from others: Truth is a common good, no man hath the sole property of it; every one may challenge his part of this possession; and the more we part with it to others, the more we increase our own possession. Truth multiplies in its degree to us, while we make division of it to thousands. A Candle gives not the less light to the owner, because many standers by, see by it, and this Candle gives a clearer light to us when we let many see by it: Our knowledge is perfected while it is communicated. This Candle therefore is not to be put under a bushel, but must be set upon a Candlestick, that all may see by the light of it.

No, I will not, For I know Abraham will not hide it: He will command his Children and his Household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord. The Israelites were charged to communicate the wonders which God wrought for them, and the Ordinances which he appointed them, when they were delivered out of Egypt, Exod. 12.
