Mt 2, 9English original
And, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child was.
Or, the star figures the grace of God, and Herod the Devil. He, who by sin puts himself in the Devil’s power, loses that grace; but if he return by repentance, he soon finds that grace again which leaves him not till it have brought him to the young Child’s house, i. e. the Church.
