Fourthly, This phrase of opening the mouth to speak, notes the things spoken to be of very great worth, such as have been long concocted and digested, and at last ready to be brought ⟨p. 151⟩forth, as out of the treasury of an honest and understanding heart.1 The heart is the treasury of words, there they are stored up: and from thence issued forth; as Christ saith, Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. As there is a stock of evil words in the hearts of evil men, so of good and gracious words in the hearts of Godly men, and when they open their mouths (according to this notion) it is to bring forth the treasures, and riches of their hearts, to bring forth the gold and silver and precious things stored up there; all these are very useful interpretations of this phrase; and I might give distinct observations from them, but it may suffice to have named them. I shall only add that the last is conceived by some to be chiefly intended in the latter branch of this verse.
