The Viper is a most poisonous Creature:1 when the Barbarians saw the Viper stick on Paul's hand, they looked upon him as a dead Man; their Biting is accounted mortal: So the Wicked are a very destructive and murderous Generation of Men; their bitter Words, and cruel Slanders, are like deadly Venom; The Poison of Asps is under their Tongues. David complains of the Ungodly upon this account, Whose Tongue (saith he) is as a sharp Sword. Sin is compared to Poison: Their Poison is like the Poison of a Serpent, &c. The Tongue (saith James2) is full of deadly Poison. And if this be the Nature of their Words, what are their Works!3 If Poison be in their Words, what Poison is in their Blows, and cursed Bitings! Their Teeth are Spears and Arrows.
