Nor foolish talking — Tittle tattle, talking of nothing, the weather, fashions, meat and drink. Or jesting — The word properly means, wittiness, facetiousness, esteemed by the heathens an half — virtue. But how frequently even this quenches the Spirit, those who are tender of conscience know. Which are not convenient — For a Christian; as neither increasing his faith nor holiness.
