light_v in_o a_o vain_a of_o evil_a speak_n and_o spiteful_a reproach_v in_o this_o they_o seem_v as_o though_o they_o be_v wake_v out_o of_o sleep_n and_o they_o quicken_v up_o their_o spirit_n to_o descant_v on_o this_o theme_n murmur_v that_o a_o hatred_n of_o this_o abominable_a and_o hurtful_a sin_n may_v be_v breed_v in_o thy_o hart_n mark_v how_o this_o vice_n bring_v with_o it_o three_o kind_n of_o evil_n the_o first_o be_v it_o bring_v forth_o detraction_n and_o backbyte_n for_o from_o murmur_v to_o detraction_n the_o way_n be_v short_a and_o the_o access_n easy_a from_o that_o to_o this_o the_o philosopher_n say_v that_o in_o element_n the_o transmutation_n be_v easy_a which_o agree_v and_o symbolize_v in_o any_o quality_n similitude_n so_o we_o often_o see_v when_o man_n begin_v to_o murmur_v that_o they_o most_o easy_o descend_v from_o more_o common_a defect_n to_o particular_a and_o from_o public_a defect_n to_o defect_n more_o secret_a and_o private_a from_o small_a to_o great_a and_o by_o infamy_n they_o wrong_v the_o fame_n of_o their_o neighbour_n for_o after_o the_o tongue_n have_v begin_v to_o wax_v hot_a through_o speak_v it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n so_o much_o to_o restrain_v the_o lust_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o hart_n as_o the_o flame_n increase_v the_o wind_n raise_v and_o puff_v it_o as_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o hinder_v and_o hold_v in_o a_o unbroken_a and_o a_o unbrideled_a colt_n foam_v and_o chafe_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o race_n then_o the_o murmurer_n respect_v not_o any_o body_n neither_o fear_v to_o proceed_v until_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o secret_a place_n of_o the_o house_n wherefore_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la earnest_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v set_v a_o watch_n before_o this_o gate_n who_o say_v he_o 22_o shall_v set_v a_o watch_n before_o my_o mouth_n and_o a_o seal_n of_o wisdom_n upon_o my_o lip_n that_o i_o fall_v not_o sudden_o by_o they_o &_o that_o my_o tongue_n destroy_v i_o not_o he_o that_o speak_v this_o know_v very_o well_o the_o great_a weight_n moment_n and_o difficulty_n of_o this_o thing_n for_o he_o look_v for_o remedy_n of_o this_o from_o god_n alone_o who_o be_v the_o true_a physician_n of_o this_o disease_n 16_o as_o solomon_n testify_v say_v the_o preparation_n of_o the_o hart_n be_v in_o man_n but_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o tongue_n be_v of_o the_o lord_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n be_v this_o business_n the_o second_o evil_n be_v because_o it_o be_v very_o hurtful_a for_o at_o the_o least_o three_o very_a great_a damage_n &_o hurt_n be_v find_v in_o

albeit_o wall_n have_v not_o ear_n yet_o word_n word_n have_v wing_n and_o man_n be_v desirous_a of_o favour_n and_o friendship_n and_o by_o broach_v such_o trifle_n they_o hunt_v for_o the_o favour_n and_o familiarity_n of_o other_o under_o pretence_n as_o though_o they_o have_v a_o great_a care_n of_o his_o honour_n who_o fame_n be_v hurt_v and_o wrong_v hence_o it_o arise_v that_o when_o such_o word_n be_v carry_v to_o the_o ear_n of_o he_o that_o be_v defame_v he_o be_v offend_v and_o to_o his_o own_o grief_n he_o rage_v against_o he_o of_o who_o he_o be_v defame_v hence_o come_v perpetual_a enmity_n hence_o continual_a hatred_n hence_o war_n and_o slaughter_n proceed_v 28_o wherefore_o worthy_o say_v the_o wiseman_n abhor_v the_o slanderer_n and_o double_a tongue_v for_o such_o have_v destroy_v many_o that_o be_v at_o peace_n and_o all_o this_o mischief_n as_o thou_o see_v oftentimes_o be_v derive_v from_o one_o word_n ill_o speak_v 11_o as_o the_o wiseman_n say_v of_o one_o little_a spark_n be_v make_v a_o great_a fire_n and_o of_o one_o deceitful_a man_n be_v blood_n increase_v in_o regard_n of_o this_o mischief_n the_o holy_a scripture_n compare_v the_o

holy_a ghost_n will_v intimate_v unto_o we_o the_o malignity_n and_o harm_n of_o this_o vice_n which_o be_v so_o great_a that_o the_o wiseman_n say_v 28_o the_o stroke_n of_o the_o rod_n make_v mark_n in_o the_o flesh_n but_o the_o stroke_n of_o the_o tongue_n break_v the_o bone_n the_o three_o evil_n that_o murmur_a bring_v with_o it_o be_v that_o it_o make_v the_o murmurer_n execrable_a &_o

say_v 9_o a_o man_n full_a of_o word_n be_v dangerous_a in_o his_o city_n although_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n to_o hate_v this_o vice_n neither_o that_o it_o be_v very_o hurtful_a on_o the_o

it_o pertain_v to_o thou_o be_v as_o a_o forbid_a tree_n who_o fruit_n it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o thou_o to_o touch_v nor_o taste_v beware_v therefore_o that_o thou_o do_v not_o speak_v well_o of_o thyself_o and_o ill_o of_o another_o for_o this_o be_v the_o property_n of_o slanderer_n and_o backbiter_n and_o that_o of_o bragart_n and_o vainglorious_a thraso_n in_o thy_o mouth_n let_v all_o

when_o thou_o see_v that_o by_o they_o there_o be_v danger_n of_o bloodshed_n and_o constant_o believe_v this_o that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a wisdom_n &_o the_o most_o sovereign_a empire_n to_o be_v

as_o it_o be_v landable_a to_o abstain_v from_o all_o kind_n of_o murmur_v and_o repine_v so_o it_o be_v much_o more_o praiseworthy_a to_o moderate_v and_o temper_v ourselves_o from_o rail_v and_o

to_o be_v able_a to_o contain_v himself_o in_o this_o and_o to_o restrain_v this_o affection_n therefore_o 29_o where_o the_o danger_n be_v great_a there_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v more_o cautelous_a
