For nothing is secret, &c.— The author of the version of 1729 translates these two verses elegantly enough, in the following manner: Luke 8:17. "Whatever is now obscure, shall hereafter be made clear: whatever is now concealed shall then be publicly known: Luke 8:18. Improve therefore what you hear; for he that improves what he has, shall have more; but he that does not, shall lose even that which he thinks he possesses."
