14. Keep a constant guard upon the tongue, especially take heed of those common sins that disgrace hath not driven out of the World, but have got some kind of credit amongst some Professors; namely idle talk; that wastes precious time, makes us unfruitful to one another, back-biting especially, can they put but a Religious pretence upon it, or if they back-bite those that differ in opinion. Remember that terrible passage, Prov. 18.28. James 1.26. Psal. 39. & 35.28. avoid idle talk, back-biting, &c. watch over your tongues; and if they are by nature addicted to a laxity of tongue, and multitude of words, there lies a double obligation on you in point of danger and necessity above all others to keep a careful watch over your tongues, you should rather speak fewer words than others: and if you find your selves inclined to speak against and behind his back, reprehend your selves and avoid it.
