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.

Pride is a winde within us, vaine words are a winde without us: the proud man knowes not how to ease himselfe of this winde within, but by breaking it out in words.
- 1Verba plena spiritu superbiae.
Thirdly, Words are windy when they have much passion in them, when they are angry and furious; an angry man blusters rather then speaks, and makes a noise rather then a discourse. While David (Psal. 39.2, 3.) was dumb with silence, while he held his peace from good, his sorrow was stirred, his heart was hot within him, and while he was musing, the fire kindled: While some are even hoarse with speaking, while they cannot hold their peace from evil, their anger is stirred, their hearts are storming within them, and all their talk is only a wind blowing without them.
