Verse 2. The tongue of the wise setteth foorth good knowledge but the mouth of fooles powreth out folly.

THE meaning is, that godly prudent men will vtter good matter, and their speeches shall carry a grace and force with them, as being rightly placed, and wisely orde∣red. And sinfull vngodly persons on the other side, either vomit out that which is hurtfull, false, or vaine: or else per∣uert and abuse that which in it selfe is true and wholesome. See chap. 10. verse 32.
