Gracious discourse makes us resemble 1Christ. His words were perfumed with holiness: grace was poured into his lips, Psal. 45. 2. He spake to the admiration of all: his hands wrought Miracles, and his tongue spake Oracles, Luke 4. 22. All bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. Christ never came into any company, but he set good discourse on foot. Levi made him a feast, Luke 5. 29. and Christ feasted him with holy discourse. When he came to Jacob's Well, he presently speaks of the water of life, John 4. The more holy our speeches are, the more we are like Christ. Should not the members be like the head?
