Jacob Boehme, the Pmyetio shoo*
maker," once ’ wrote a pamphlet
which he ceiled "Reflections on the
Treatise of Isaiah Stiefel." One of
Boehme’« biographers had never
heard of that theologian. B at he
knew enough German to be aware
that “Stiefel” meant “hoot," and he
was further misled by the fact that
Boehme was a cobbler aa well as a
philosopher, so be made a brilliant
shot and spoke of the paaphtot in
question as Boehme*« “ Reflections

goise it passed into several cats-'
