Secondly, For thy Words,
1. Remember, that thou must answer for everya idle word: that inb multiloquy, the wisest man shall over-shoot himself. Avoid therefore all tedious and idle talk, whereof seldom ariseth comfort, many timesc repentance; especially beware of rash answers, when the tongue out-runs the mind. The word was thine whilst thou keptest it in: it isd another's as soon as it is out. O the shame, when a man's own tongue shall be produced a witness, to the confusion of his own face!
