About this book
Sermons on Evil Speaking is by Isaac Barrow, D.D. The contents list names sermons titled Against Foolish Talking and Jesting, Against Rash and Vain Swearing, and Of Evil-speaking in General, among others. The introduction says that Isaac Barrow was born in London in 1630. The introduction says that young Isaac Barrow was educated at the Charterhouse School, and at Felstead, before he went, in 1643, to Cambridge.
The text discusses what St. Paul meant by eutrapelia, that is, facetious speech, or raillery, rendered "jesting" by the translators. The text sets out different ways of showing disagreement with a man, from telling him that we differ in judgment from him to calling him a liar, a deceiver, a fool. The text asks whether it is not far more wisdom contentedly to see our neighbour to enjoy credit and success, to flourish and thrive in the world.
