What doth the ninth commandement exact?

That I beare no false witnesse against any man, neithera falsifie any mans wordes, neither backbite orb reproch any man, norc condemne any man rashly or vnheard: but auoid andd shun with all carefulnesse all kind of lies, and deceipts, as thee proper works of the Diuel: except I mean to stir vp against mee the most grieuous wrath of god: And that in iudgements and other affaires I follow the truth, and freely and constantlyf professe the matter as it indeede is: And moreouer defend andg encrease, as much as in me lieth, the good name and estimation of others.h
