A fools mouth is therefore said to be always open, because whensoever he speaketh, he is found speaking imprudently and impertinently.1 But a wise man will not speak, unless he may speak to purpose, and so opens his mouth to speak. Solomon saith, (Prov. 24.7.) Wisdom is too high for a fool, he openeth not his mouth in the gate; that is, he is unfit to speak in the presence of wise and judicious men, he may open his mouth in the streets, and in common Company, but he opens not his mouth in the gate, where the Elders and Magistrates used to meet and judge the weightiest matters. There is a four-fold Consideration to be had, as to the due opening of the mouth, (And 'tis no small matter to open the mouth with those Considerations.)
