The Jews would not willingly tread upon the smallest piece of paper in
their way, but took it up; for possibly, said they, the name of God
may be on it. 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.
