Instruction to follow the precept of Saint James, who admonisheth every man to be swift to hear, and slow to speak. He that is most talkative and ready to object, is always least attentive, and negligent to learn: and he that is most silent,¹ until it be time to speak, will like Elihu in the book of Job, be best able to speak to the purpose, when time requireth. By such shall a good cause be well maintained, falsehood and errors discovered, the truth justified, the company edified, and their own wisdom and knowledge made manifest to those that hear them.
