Of the Might and Power of God Psal 145.11 ¶ V. Concerning the division and sorts of Speech and Words observe these five things First Bonaventure●d 12. a. 2. q. 1. l. 3. saith that Dicere to say or speak is twofold For I. Sometimes it signifies Ore proferre to utter something with the tongue And II. Sometimes asserere sive affirmare to assert or affirm a thing Numb 26.3 Secondly others say Dicere tripliciter invenitur that to say or speak is taken three manner of wayes viz. 1. Sometimes Essentialiter thus it signifies Intelligere seu declarare to understand or declare Anselm 2. Sometimes Purè notionaliter and so it is nothing else than Verbum gig nere Aquin. 1. P. q. 34. a. 1. ad 2. 3. Sometimes it is taken neither purely Essentially nor purely Notionally but includes both Thus Dicere est notitia à se producta omne declarabile declarare August 15. de Trinit ca. 14. Thirdly we may say that Words or Speeches are either Divine or Humane I. There is a two-fold Divine Speech viz. 1. Natural this is Sermo simplex or Sermo Deus the Word God John 1.1 And 2. Scriptural this is Sermo multiplex or Sermo Dei the Word of God John 17.17 II. There is a Humane Speech this is likewise twosold 1. Good Eph. 4.29 Coloss 4.6 2. Bad Prov. 15.1 2.14 Psal 64.3 Fourthly from the Letter of the Sacred Oracles of God we may say that there are divers and sundry sort of Words For 1. There are welcome Words Gen. 21.30.52 1 Sam. 18.26 2. There are unwelcome Words Gen. 27.34 1 Sam. 21.12 3. There are innocent and harmless Words Genes 37 8. 42.16 4.

There are reproving or reproaching Words 2 Sam. 3.8 Fifthly we may say that Words and Speeches are either 1. Good in themselves Paragraph I. Or 2. Evil in themselves Paragraph II. Or 3. Doubtfull that is sometimes Good sometimes Evil. Paragraph III. Paragraph I. Of Good Words There are five sorts of Good Speeches and Words viz. First Courteous and friendly now as the Arteries convey the blood throughout the body so men from mind to mind convey affections by friendly conference and discourse Secondly there are mild and gentle Words which are prevalent both with Beasts and Men. I. The Indian Sheep called Lama being much used to carry heavy burdens will often grow resty and lie down with their burdens and will not be provoked to rise and go on their journey for the most sharp blowes and beating that can be given them but good words and fair dealing with gentle entreaty will prevail to make them travel sometimes divers hours together II. Plutarch in Moral saith as Musicians make the sweetest melody by the gentlest touch so a mild and gentle speech doth more prevail with people than a harsh or crabbed The Ancients were wont to place Mercury and Venus in one and the same Temple to signifie that mild and gentle speeches do exceedingly beget amity and Love Lips Thirdly there are wise discreet and prudent Speeches 1 Sam. 25.24 Now in all speech words and sence are as the Body and Soul the sence is as the life and soul of Language without which all words are dead Hence Tully saith Dicere rectè nemo potest nisi qui prudenter intelligit without understanding and wisdom none can speak well Fourthly there are sound sententious and rational speeches not empty or frothy Pittacus was wont to say that a drie and thirsty ear must be washed with a sentence that is good to drink and that speech grounded upon strong reason is able to content and satisfie the hearing Worthy of memory is that speech which Phocion used to Leosthenes who by an eloquent and very lofty Oration perswaded the Athenians to war Thy words quoth he to him young man may fitly be compared to Cypress-trees which are great and tall but bear no fruit worth any thing Fifthly there are spiritual and Saint-like Words or good and gracious holy and heavenly speeches I will here instance only in one speech and resolve a scruple Mr. John Hooper that famous Martyr being in Prison for the Truths sake had these heavenly expressions in one of his Letters Imprisonment is painfull but Liberty upon evil conditions is worse the Prison stinks yet not so much as sweet Houses where the fear of God is wanting I am kept alone and solitary and it 's better so to be and have God with me than to be in the company of wicked men Loss of Goods is great but loss of Grace and Gods favour is greater I cannot tell how to answer before great and learned men yet it is better to do that than to stand naked before Gods Tribunal I shall die by the hands of cruel men but in losing this Life and finding Life Eternal I shall be happy neither the felicity nor adversity of this World is great if compared with the joyes and pains of the World to come Such Speeches as these become us Qu. Because I said that our Words and Speeches must be Heavenly and such as becomes Saints it may be demanded Shall we use any Lan uage or Speech in Heaven And if so then whether shall all the Inhabitants of Heaven speak one Language and if so then what Language shall that be Ans The Scripture teaches that the Saints in Heaven shall praise and glorifie God with their Tongue and Voice Apoc. 7. and elsewhere in that book and it is most likely that all the Hoast of Heaven shall speak one Language For 1. All the Saints and faithfull shall then and there be one People in one and the same Countrey 2. The Triumphant Church shall not be worse in her estate than the Militant now the time was when all the Militant Church had one Language 3. The diversity of Languages was a judgement and punishment inflicted upon the World but God will inflict no punishment upon the Triumphant Church 4. It is most probable that the Language which all shall speak in Heaven is Hebrew the first Language of all But
