What is required in the ninth command?

That I bear false witness against no man;^a nor falsify any man’s words;^b that I be no backbiter,^c nor slanderer; that I do not judge, or join in condemning any man rashly, or unheard;^d but that I avoid all sorts of lies and deceit,^e as the proper works of the devil, unless I would bring down upon me the heavy wrath of God:^f likewise that in judgment and all other dealings I love the truth, speak it uprightly and confess it;^g also that I defend and promote, as much as I am able, the honour and good character of my neighbour.^h
