To begin with his birth; I observe that1 throughout the sacred Bible, and writings on the persons of holy men, their places of ⟨image 10⟩birth are ever remembered; GOD loves the very ground his servants tread on: The LORD shall count (says David) when he 2numbereth up the people, that this man was borne there; whereas of other men there shall be no remembrance of them, they shall have none to lament or bury them, but shall be cast forth as dung on the face of the earth: so that I may say of them, as was said of Pope Boniface the eight, famous for nothing but his wickedness; intravit vulpes, regnavit leo, exivit canis; the Prophet David renders it thus in plain English. They spend their days in mirth, and suddenly go down into hell.
