Who would not abhor that vanity of Nero, in shoeing his horses with precious gold, and causing that costly metal to be trampled under foot in the dirt, which was worthy to be the materials of a crown for the highest head on earth! Am not I a greater fool than the former, and more vain than the latter, if I spend that time- which is infinitely more costly than gold or Bezer, as having relation to eternity – wholly in worldly talk, which might be employed in declaring and admiring the boundless perfections of the blessed God.
