9 If thou be tempted with lyinge or lyghte wordes,

:87img 59

Say thou: That lying is forbidden in the law: that we should not speak false things. Thou shalt flee lying. Ye shall not lye.¹ Thou shalt destroy all them that speak lies. but lying set aside, let every man speak the truth to his neighbour, for as much as we be members together. Peter killed Ananias and Sapphira, because they lied. I say unto you,² that of every idle word that man shall speak, they shall give account in the day of judgement. Again, Let no filthy communication go forth of your mouth.

SAy thou: That lyenge is forbeden in the law: that we shuld not speake false thynges. Thou shalte fle lyenge. Ye shall not lye.¹ Thou shalt dystroy all them that speake lyes. but lyenge set asyde, let euery man speake the truthe to his neyghbour, for as moche as we be members to gether. Peter kylled Ananias and Saphira, bicause they lyed. I saye vnto you,² that of euery ydel worde that man shall speake, they shall gyue accompte in the daye of iudgement. Agayne, Let no fylthy communication go forth of your mouthe.
