When a Christian walks irreprovably, his enemies have nowhere to fasten their teeth on him, but are forced to gnaw their own malignant tongues. As it secures the godly, thus to stop the lying mouths of foolish men, so it is as painful to them to be thus stopped, as muzzling is to beasts, and it punishes their malice. And this is a wise Christian's way, instead of impatiently fretting at the mistakes or willful miscensures of men, to keep still on his calm temper of mind, and upright course of life, and silent innocence; this, as a rock, breaks the waves into foam that roar about it.

TOPPING
BATTER
These are from Muffins A to Z by Marie Simmons
The combination of chopped almonds and butter crumbs makes these tender
muffins irresistible.
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly butter 12 muffin cups or coat
with nonstick cooking spray.
2. To make the Topping: In a small bowl, combine the almonds, brown sugar
and flour. Stir in the melted butter; set aside.
3. To make the Batter: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda
and salt in a large bowl; stir until well blended. In a separate bowl,
whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and almond extract. Add
to the dry ingredients all at once and fold just until evenly moistened. Do
not overmix.
4. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Press 1 tablespoon of
the topping onto each muffin.
5. Bake until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers
comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool ona wire rack before removing from
the pan.
