For the first reason, which we have showed to be, the hearty hatred of false doctrine, or1 false religion, he saith, Portion 15. *vers. 1. I hate vain inventions, but thy law do I love. And in Portion 21. *vers. 3. I hate false hood and abhor it but thy law do I love. And in the fourth Portion vers. 5. he •larly prayeth against it, saying, Take from me the way of ly••g, and gra••t me graciously thy truth. Where we see, that as the mail of God showeth his love to the truth, so he showeth his hatred to lies. Neither must we understand here, that which he calleth the way of lying, for a breach of any particular commandment, but for a general breach of the whole law of God, & for a thing opposite to the truth of Gods word: so also is it to be understood, when the Spirit of God calleth Satan, the father of lies, that is, of feigned and forged doctrine, both in religion and life, as also God is said to be the Father of all truth.

And in the fourth Portion vers. 5. he •larly prayeth against it, saying, Take from me the way of ly••g, and gra••t me gratiously thy truth. Where we see, that as the mail of God sheweth his loue to the truth, so he sheweth his hatred to lies. Neither must we vnderstand here, that which he calleth the way of lying, for a breach of any particular commaundement, but for a generall breach of the whole law of God, & for a thing opposite to the truth of Gods word: so also is it to be vnderstood, when the Spirit of God calleth Satan, the father of lies, that is, of fained and forged doctrine, both in religion and life, as also God is said to be the Father of all truth.
