Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book I And if one say that it is written, "There is nothing secret which shall not be revealed, nor hidden which shall not be disclosed,"[32] Tertullian Against Marcion Book IV who had hidden himself-a greater and more needful light-during so long a time; and when he promises that "everything shall be brought out of its secrecy and made manifest,"[713] Tertullian On Repentance For who will grant to you, a man of so faithless repentance, one single sprinkling of any water whatever? To approach it by stealth, indeed, and to get the minister appointed over this business misled by your asseverations, is easy; but God takes foresight for His own treasure, and suffers not the unworthy to steal a march upon it. What, in fact, does He say? "Nothing hid which shall not be revealed."[52]
