Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards: #16

16. Resolved, never to speak evil of anyone, so that it shall tend to his dishonor, more or less, upon no account except for some real good.

No comment on this one!
Why?
I don't think I fully understand what the phrase, "speak evil of anyone" means.
Anyone care to explain this to me?
