4. An outrageous tongue is such a poison as poisons it self, which no other poison doth, other poisons hurt no further than they are applied, they cannot poison at a distance, but this is such a strange working thing, that it will both hurt and so destroy men that they shall never recover themselves, and this it will do at a distance, and come not near, these men have such dispositions, that they will let none pass without a lash of their tongue. Now the Lord he will not let these go in this manner, he will scorn the scorners; when these men are in their rage none are spared, Magistrates, Ministers, Parents, Ordinances, no nor God Himself; But Christ will convince them of their hard words. Consider how in ⟨p. 699⟩your families, or in some companies you have been guilty of the rage of the tongue in these kinds. It follows in the last words.
