3. From the Senses it runs to the Tongue; and sets it a swelling, a swearing, that it infects the air, and poisons the very lWalls of the house. The excrements of the Jews spit upon the face of our Saviour, were not so feculent. Their blasphemies strive to blast, not only the plants of the earth, but even the planets of Heaven; the Sun and Stars: and if it were possible, they would make new wounds in the side of Jesus Christ. If any swearer think, I do his tongue wrong; let him read. Rom. 3. mThe poison of Asps is under their lips. If you would know what that pestilent poison is, the next verse expounds it. nTheir mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. They carry worse poison in •re, in their mouth; then any serpent in caud•, in his tail. oTheir tongue is full of deadly poison. 1. They have poison. 2. not dead, but deadly; mortal poison. 3. not a little, but saturitie of it; full of deadly poison.
