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.

We read of a strange distemper in two sorts of men, who ought of all others to be most composed and temperate (Hos. 9.7.1) The Prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad: Our Translators put in the Margin, The man of the spirit: for Ruach in Hebrew, signifieth both the wind that blows in the air, and the spirit of God which moveth in our hearts: We take that sense, The spiritual man, or the man of the spirit; that is, the man that pretends to have, or should have the spirit of God (his business lying wholly in spirituals) this man is mad; he is so far from acting to the height of those graces which the spirit gives, that he acts below that reason which nature gives.
