It is a rebuke to such as when they meet together,1 instead of speaking of Heaven, they have idle frothy discourse*. They do [Greek or Hebrew] but no [Greek or Hebrew], as Plutarch said of Alcibiades. Their Lips do not drop as an Honey-comb, but run as a Spout; their speaking is ⟨p. 86⟩Just like a Child's scribbling, Psalm 12.2. They speak Vanity every one with his Neighbour. If Christ should ask some as he did the two Disciples going to Emmaus, Luk. 24.17. What manner of Communications have you as you walk, they could not say as they did, concerning Jesus of Nazareth; no, perhaps about Toys, or new Fashions. If Idle words must be accounted for, Mat 12.36. Lord, what an account will some have to give!
