John Trapp on Luke 1:61

Verse 61. There is none of thy kindred] There is an inbred desire in us all of immortality: we would eternize our names, and do therefore call our children, cities, lands, &c. after them, Psal. 49. 11. But they do best that get assurance that their names are written in heaven. They that depart from God shall be written in the earth, Jeremiah 17. 13. as Cains son, Lord Enoch of Enoch, Genesis 4. And those men of renown, Genesis 11. 4 were.
