[ 1118] Curses usually fall on the Cursers own head.
DIog••••es warned the Bastard,* 1.1 when he saw him throwing stones at randome among the People, to take heed he did not hit his own father. Such is the condition of all cursing Men, such, whose tongues run with great speed on the Devills errand, whose Maledictions are shot out of their mouths, just like fools bolts, not regarding where they light, whereas many times they fall upon their friends, their children, and very often upon themselves; or like ill made pieces, which while Men discharge at others,* 1.2 they recoyl in splinters upon their own faces, so that if every curse should stick a visible blister on the tongue, as it doth insensible ones, on the Soul; How many Mens tongues would be too big for their mouths, and their mouth sas an open Sepulchre full of rottennesse and putrefaction.
