What does the ninth Commandment exact?

That I bear noa false Witness against any Man, neither falsify any Man’s words, neither backbiteb nor reproach any Man, norc condemn any rashly, or unheard, but avoid, andd shun with all carefulness all kind of Lies, and Deceits, as the proper Works of the Devil, except I mean to stire up against me the most grievous Wrath of God; and that in Judgments and other Affairs, I follow the Truth, and freely and constantlyf profess the matter as it indeed is, and moreover defend and increase as much as in me lies, the good Name and Estimation of others.g
