^9 One of the writers^" of Erard's acts, commenting on the deriva- tion of his name, declares, that as God fashioned and elected such an ark of sanctity, so did He place there
of honour; and as the noble saint had preserved innocence, during the whole course of his life, he was justly regarded, as chosen solely by and looking constantly on his great Maker.
