Speaking. Speech is the golden harvest that
followeih The Towering Of thought; and YET
ofientimes runnelh il TO husk and the grains be
wlhered and scan,y. Speech is reasons bro
ther, and kindly prerogatiye OF man, that lik-
eneth him to his Maker. who spake and il was
done. Spirit may mingle with spirit. but sense
requireth symbol; and speech is a body OF
thought. without which il were not seen. A
man that speaketh too little. and lhinketh much
and deeply, corrodelh his own heart strings,
and keepeih good from his fellows. A man
thar speakelh too much, and museth but lit,le
and lightly, wasteth his mind in words, and is
counted fool among men. jg .U
