If a man sinne not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle all the body. 3 Beholde, we put bittes in the horses mouthes, that they may obey vs, and we turne about all the body of them: 4 Beholde also ye shippes, which though they be so great, and are dryuen of fierce windes, yet are they turned about with a very small helme, whither soeuer the violence of the gouernour wyll. 5 Euen so the tongue is a litle member also, & boasteth great thynges. Beholde how great a matter a litle fire kindleth. 6 And the tongue is fyre, euen a worlde of wickednesse. So is the tongue set among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fyre the course of nature, & it is set on fyre of hell. 7 All the natures of beastes, & of byrdes, and of serpentes, and thynges of the sea, are meeked and tamed of the nature of man: 8 But the tongue can no man tame, it is an vnruly euyll, full of deadly poyson. 9 Therwith blesse we God the father: and therwith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of one mouth proceadeth blessing and cursing.
