a man of gravity and learning; his sermons were popular, not on account of the eloquence with which they were delivered, for of that there was little, but of their beautiful simplicity and intrinsic excellence.
His hearers were not amused by his discourses, but I venture to say that they were edified.
His style is pithy, his sentences pregnant with meaning, for what he said, he said in few words, and he said it too very gracefully. Instead of wearying his hearers with unprofitable scholastic quibbles, he gave them practical good advice in plain and homely words.
The date of his deatli is not known with certainty, but it probably took place in 1495, though, according to some, he lived till 1520.
