                                That Holy Pen-mans Lesson, who hath sayd,<lb/>
                                We should be slow to Speake, and swift to Heare;<lb/>
                                If, well, the nature of the Tongue we waigh'd.<lb/>
                                For, if we let it loose, it getteth Wings,<lb/>
                                And, flies with wanton Carelesnesse, about;<lb/>
                                It prateth in all places, of All things;<lb/>
                                Tells Truth and Lyes, and babbleth Secrets out.<lb/>
                                To speake, of things unknowne, it taketh leave,<lb/>
                                As if it had all Knowledge in Possession;<lb/>
                                And, Mysteries (which no Man can conceive)<lb/>
                                Are thought fit Objects for the Tongues Expression.<lb/>
                                With Truth it mixeth Errors; sayes, unsayes;<lb/>
                                And, is the Preacher of all Heresies.<lb/>
                                That Heart, which gives it motion, it betrayes;<lb/>
                                And, utters Curses, Oathes, and Blasphemies.<lb/>
                                It spreads all Slanders, which base Envie raiseth;<lb/>
                                It moveth Anger, and begetteth Hates:<lb/>
                                It blameth Vertue; filthy Deeds it praiseth;<lb/>
                                And, causeth Vproares, Murthers, and Debates.<lb/>
                                Yea, tis the chiefest Factor for the Devill;<lb/>
                                And, yet, with speeches feignedly-sincere,<lb/>
                                It otherwhile reproveth what is Evill,<lb/>
                                And, will in Lowly-words, a Saint appeare.<lb/>
                                Now this is knowne; we, next of all, should learne,<lb/>
                                How we may shunne the Mischiefe being knowne;<lb/>
                                How, we bad Tongues, in Others, may discerne;<lb/>
                                And, how to guide and moderate our Owne:<lb/>
                                And, reason good; for, none can apprehend,<lb/>
                                What Mischiefe doth an Evill Tongue attend.<lb/>
