There\r\nis then one Teacher, who\r\nspake and it was done;\r\nwhile even those things\r\nwhich He did in silence\r\nare worthy of the Father.\r\nHe who possesses\r\nthe word of Jesus, is truly\r\nable to hear even His\r\nvery silence, that he may\r\nbe perfect, and may both\r\nact as he speaks, and be\r\nrecognised by his silence.\r\nThere is nothing which\r\nis hid from God, but\r\nour very secrets are near\r\nto Him.
