Note, 1. Framing ill designs will be of no advantage to us; there is
nothing got by them: He that has a froward heart, that sows discord and
is full of resentment, cannot promise himself to get by it sufficient
to counterbalance the loss of his repose and reputation, nor can he
take any rational satisfaction in it; he finds no good. 2. Giving ill
language will be a great disadvantage to us: He that has a perverse
tongue, spiteful and abusive, scurrilous or backbiting, falls into one
mischief or other, loses his friends, provokes his enemies, and pulls
trouble upon his own head. Many a one has paid dearly for an unbridled
tongue.
