The Jews would not willingly tread upon the smallest piece of paper in their way, but took it up for possibly, they say, 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.
