And he said, Is a candle, &c. As if he had said, I explain these things to you, I give you this light, not to conceal, but to impart it to others. And if I conceal any thing from you now, it is only that it may be more effectually manifested hereafter. Take heed what ye hear That is, attend to what you hear, that it may have its due influence upon you. With what measure ye mete That is, according to the improvement you make of what you have heard, still further assistances shall be given. And to you that hear That is, with improvement, shall more be given. For he that hath That improves whatever he has received, to the good of others, as well as of his own soul.
