Os d e o ire eft The heart is the treafury of word -s, there they are flored up : be" di tá and from thence, iffued forth; as Chrift faith, Out ofthe abun- pbral' dicen- dance of the heart the mouth#eaketh. As there. is a flock of evil' da. Bold: words in the hearts ofevill men, foof good and gracious words inthe.hearts of odly men, and when they open their rnouthes ( according to this notion ) it is to bring forth the trea(ures, and riches of their hearts,to bring forth the gold andLiver and preci- ous things flored Op there ; all theme are very ufefull interpreta- tions of this phrafe ; and Í might give diflin& obfervations from them, but it may fuice tohave named them. I (hall only adde that the lam} is conceived byTome to be chiefely intended in the latter branch of this verme: My tongue bath fpcken in my mouth, This Teems a flrange Expretfion ; where fhould the tongue fpeak but in the mouth ? when the tongue isout of the mouth, can it fpeak?as the mouth cannot fpeak without the tongue,fo the tongue cannot fpeak out of the mouth : why then doth he fay ; ory tongue bath fpoken inmy mouth ? The Hebrewis,lnmy patare,the palate being a parrof the mouth, and one fpeciall Inftrument of fpeech ( Naturalillsreckon five, The lips,the tongue,the teeth,the palate,&the throat)'tisput for all; but there is more in it then fo,for every man fpeaksin his mouth, Palatum ora or by the palate which is the heaven,.roofe or creling of the mouth. Druf: eft' Therefore whenEI hu faith, My tongue hath fpoken in my mouth, Præmeditata or incny palate ; The palate may be con tiered as the inftru- et quafi inte!la ment of tafling as well as of(peaking.
