Again he saith, let no filthy communication proceed out of your mouths,¹ but that which is good to edify with all, when need is, that it may have favour with the hearers If no filthy communication ought to proceed out of our mouths, much less ought any vain dothes, ungodly swearings, blasphemies. &c. come forth out of them. If our words ought to be good to edify with all, than ought they not to be such as should destroy both our selves & the hearers, which many times chanceth through wicked oaths. Let not ⟨p. xxxvii⟩dome,² saith he, and all uncleanness or covetousness, or filthiness, or foolish talking, or jesting be once named among you, as it becometh saints, but rather thanks giving.

Agayne he sayth, lette no sylthye cōmunicacion procede out of youre mouthes,¹ but that which is good to edify with all, whan nede is, that it maye haue fauour with the hearers If no fylthy communicacion ought to procede out of our mouthes, muche lesse ought ony vayn dothes, vngodly swearynges, blasphemies. &c. come forth out of them. If our wordes ought to be good to edify wythe all, thā ought they not to be such as should destroy both our selues & the hearers, which many tymes chaunseth thorow wicked oothes. Let not ⟨p. xxxvii⟩dome,² sayth he, and all vnclennes or couetousnes, or fylthynes, or folyshe talkynge, or iestynge be once named among you, as it becommeth saynctes, but rather thanckes gyuyng.
