William Secker says - (Saul & Trees)

"Believers are among others, as Saul was among the Israelites, the tallest by the head and shoulders. What are such earthly shrubs, compared with heavenly cedars? Those trees which have their top branches of hope in heaven, will have their lower boughs of activity on earth."
The Nonsuch Professor p.3

And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he:
from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
1 Samuel 9:2
