He is one that is able to govern his tongue,1 that though passion be in the heart, yet through the strength of his grace he bridles it in, and restrains it, so as it shall not break into open railings, revilings and clamours as others do. St. James gives this character of a strong Christian;2 If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man; not legally but Evangelically; He is a perfect man. i.e. He is grown strong in the grace of God.
