1Dissimulation, or dissembling and hiding of the truth, when as Gods glory, and our neighbours safety requireth a confession of the truth: which then requireth it, when false opinions concerning God, and his will or word, or concerning the Church, seem to be confirmed and strengthened by our silence in the minds of men: or, when those things remain secret and hidden, which God will have known and manifest for the maintenance of his glory against the reproaches of the wicked, for the convincing of the obstinate, and for the instructing of those which are desirous to learn: or lastly, when our silence maketh us suspected to be approvers and abetters of the wicked. So did the parents of the blind man dissemble, and those chief Rulers also, who would not confess Christ for fear of the Jews,2 lest they should be cast out of the Synagogue.
