First, When they have no solid reason, no substance in them: reason is the substance of words, and so is truth; ⟨p. 220⟩these two go always together, and where these are not, nothing goes out of the mouth but wind;1 we say of all words which are not followed with action, Words are but wind, we may say so also of all words which are not accompanied with reason.

1Secondly, Words are windy when they have much pride, and swelling conceitedness in them; The Scripture calls such words, Swelling words of vanity: That which swells our hearts, will quickly swell our lips; pride doth both. Pride is a wind within us, vain words are a wind without us: the proud man knows not how to ease himself of this wind within, but by breaking it out in words.
