Though there was a little superstition in this, yet truly there is nothing but good religion in it, if we apply it to men. Trample not on any there may be some work of grace there, that thou knowest not of. The name of God may be written upon that soul thou treadest on it may be a soul that Christ thought so much of, as to give His precious blood for it therefore despise it not.
