That ye may show forth, or as 'tis in the Greek, that ye may 1preach forth, that ye may publicly declare the virtues of him that hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light; that ye may so hold forth the virtues of him that hath conferred all this Dignity and Glory upon you, as to excite others to Glorify your father which is in heaven. You know the picture of a dear Friend is not to be thrust in a Corner, but in 2some Conspicuous place of the house; why, our Graces are the very Image of Christ, they are his picture, and therefore to be held forth to open view. These Candles must not be put under a bushel, but set up in a Candlestick. Jewels are to ware not to hide, so are our Graces.
