When Le Tourneau preached the Lent sermon at St. Benoit, at Paris, Louis XIV. enquired of Boileau, 'if he knew anything of a preacher called Le Tourneau, whom everybody was running after?' 'Sire,' replied the poet, 'your Majesty knows that people always run after novelties; this man preaches the gospel.' Boileau's remark as to the novelty of preaching the gospel in his time, brings to mind the candid confession of a Flemish preacher, who, in a sermon delivered before an audience wholly of his own order, said, 'We are worse than Judas; he sold and delivered his Master, we sell him too, but deliver him not.'
