To all, not to this or that only, but to all; As if he had said, I intend not, and I hope I shall not speak one needless or unuseful words; not a word beside the business. Therefore hearken to all my words.
To all, not to this or that only, but to all; As if he had sayd, I intend not, and I hope I shall not speak one needlesse or unusefull words; not a word beside the businesse. Therefore hearken to all my words.
Hence note; First.
They who speak to instruction, admonition or exhortation, should not use one word more then is useful, not a word more then is to the purpose.
They who speak to instruction, admonition or exhortation, should not use one word more then is usefull, not a word more then is to the purpose.
Seeing, every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account for it in the day of Judgement, (Math: 12.36.) How should every man take heed of speaking an idle word, a word of which he can give no good account for any good it is likely to do. Idle words will make sad work one day, and words of no value or account, will turn to a heavy account in the great day. That's an idle word, which doth neither work the heart for good, nor strengthen the hand to or in a good work. And if we should be careful not to speak one idle word, or not one word unworthy to be heard, how should we avoid evil words, or words which corrupt the hearers.
