Our words are suitable to our spirits; some can dissemble much, and speak golden words, while themselves are dross; but ordinarily, our words are such as we are: The vile person will speak villainy, (Isa. 32.6.) A man that is all for the World, speaks worldly (1 John 4.5.) They are of the World, therefore speak they of the World. Every man is of the World so, as that he is a part of the World, but some are so of the World, that the World is all them; they who are thus of the World must needs speak of the World if they speak any thing, for they have nothing else to speak of.

Some told the Prophet to his face, Thou speakest falsely, the Lord our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there; These were proud words indeed, but who spake them? The text tells us, Then spake Azariah the Son of Hoshaniah, and all the proud men: The proud men spake proudly; so on the contrary, a sober man will speak soberly, an humble man humbly; The poor speak supplications, saith Solomon; rich men speak their commands, poor men speak their wishes and desires.
