The way to true happiness in a serious treatise /

The Mouth is become a well of life, his Tongue as choice silver, and his Lips feed many: Now the salt of grace hath seasoned his speech, and eat out the corruption, Col. 4. 6. and cleanseth the man from his filthy communication, flattery, boasting, railing, lying, swearing, backbiting, that once came like the flashes proceeding from the hell that was in the heart. James 3. 6. 7. The Throat, that was once an open sepulchre, Rom. 3. 13. now sends forth the sweet breath of prayer, and holy discourse, and the man speaks in another Tongue, in the Language of Canaan, and is never so well, as when talking of God, and Christ, and the matters of another World. His Mouth bringeth forth wisdom, his Tongue is become the silver Trumpet of his makers praise, his glory and the best member that he hath.
