There is not the smallest ground for founding a charge of dissimulation against our Saviour, or affording any encouragement to dissimulation in others. "And he said,ª° Behold¹ now,¹ my lords,ª turn in,ª° I pray you,¹ into¹ your servant'sª house,ª and tarry all night,ª° and washª° your feet,ª and ye shall rise up early,ª° and goª° on your ways.ª And they said,ª° Nay;¹ but¹ we will abide²° in the street² all night.ª°¹" {Gen 19:2} + "And he said,ª° Let me go,ª° for¹ the dayª breaketh.ª° And he said,ª° I will not¹ let thee go,ª° exceptª¹ thou blessª° me." {Gen 32:26} + "And Josephª sawª°¹ his brethren,ª and he knewª° them, but made himself strangeª° unto¹ them, and spakeª° roughlyª unto¹ them; and he saidª° unto¹ them, Whenceª¹ comeª° ye? And they said,ª° From the landª¹ of Canaanª to buyª° food.ª" {Gen 42:7} + "Andª he sawª° themª toilingª° in² rowing;ª° forª the¹ windª wasª° contraryª unto them:ª andª aboutª the fourthª watchª of the¹ nightª he comethª° untoª them,ª walkingª° uponª the¹ sea,ª andª wouldª° have passed byª° them.ª" {Mrk 6:48}
