He that made all, made the Tongue: he that craves all, must have the Tongue. Quicreavit necessariam, postulat creatam. It is an instrument, let it give Music to him that made it. All creatures in their kind bless God. Psal. 148. They that want tongues, as the heavens, Sun, Stars, Meteors, Orbs, Elements; praise him with such obedient Testimonies, as their insensible natures can afford. They that have tongues, though they want reason, praise him with those natural Organs. The birds of the air sing, the beasts of the earth make a noise; not so much as the hissing Serpents, the very Dragons in the deep, but sound out ⟨p. 23⟩his praise. Man then, that hath a tongue, and a reason to guide it, (and if more, a religion to direct his reason) should much, much more bless him. Therefore says the Psalmographer, that for the well tuning of his Tongue, is called the sweet Singer of Israel, I will praise the Lord with the best Instrument I have; which was his Tongue.
