3. A godly man is heavenly in his Communication, his words are powdered with salt to season others, Col. 4. 6. As soon as Christ was risen from the grave, he was speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God, Act. 1. 3. No sooner is a man risen out of ⟨p. 143⟩the grave of Unregeneracy, but he is speaking of heaven, Eccles. 10. 12. The words of a wise mans mouth are gracious: He speaks so heavenly, as if he had been already in heaven; the love he bears to God, will not suffer him to be silent; the Spouse being sick of love, her tongue was as the pen of a ready writer, Cant. 5. 10. My beloved is white and ruddy, his head is of fine gold, &c. If Wine be in the house, the Bush will be hung forth, and where there is a principle of godliness in the heart, it will vent it self at the lips; the Bush will be hung forth.
