<p>Besides other discommodities which the tongue bringeth with it, Saint Iames saith the same is tipped with poison, and bringeth death, comparing it to the stearne of a ship, by which the whole vessell is ruled and go- uerned. Which sentence agreeth with the opinion of Bias, to whom Amasis king of E- gipt sent a whole beast on this condition, that he shoulde sende to him againe the best and the woorst peece therof, who sent the tongue onely. Seeing then that that part of the body is of such great moment, it is no maruel if na- ture haue compassed it in, with hedges and pales, as it were with double gates, which we must neuer vse to open without the consent of reason and wisedome going before, else, where the tongue goeth before premeditati- on, the entrance into these gates is a fearefull thing, &amp; the going out both dangerous, and vnfortunate. </p>
