Verse 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified]
Our Sa∣viour 〈◊〉〈◊〉 upon this subject, because by words they had sinned against the holy Ghost. A mans most and worst sins be his words. StPaul making the anatomy of a naturall man, stands more on the organ of speech, then all the other members. Rom. 3. StJames saith, that the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is not a city or countrey, but a world of ini∣quity, Jam. 3. 6. It can 〈◊〉〈◊〉 all the world over, and bite at every body, when the devil fires it especially. Peraldus reckons up four* 1.1 and twenty severall sins of the tongue: he might have made them more. God hath set a double hedge afore it, of teeth and lips, to keep it up: he hath also placed it between the head and heart, that it might take counsel of both. Children he will not suffer to speak, till they have understanding and wit: and those that are deaf, are also dumb, because they cannot hear instruction, nor learn wisdom, that they may speak advisedly.
