Proverbs10:19
Verſ. 19. In the multitude of words] In multiloquio ſtultiloquium. Many words are hardly well managed. Non eſt ejuſdem, ſaith one, It is ſeldome ſeen that a man of many words miſcarries not.
But hee that refraineth his lips] As Elihu did, Job 32.11. and as Epaminondas is worthily praiſed by Plutarch for this, quod nemo plura noſſet, & pauciora loqueretur; that no man knew more, and ſpake leſs than hee did.
