This is now the […] armour that we should have, namely trueth. S. Augustine writeth very terribly of ⟨p. 84⟩lyings, and against those that use lying. There be some that make a difference between a jesting lye and an earnest lye:1 But I tell you, it is good to abstain from them both, for god is the truth, when we forsake the truth we for sake God. Now the second weapon is to be Just, to give every man that which we owe unto him: to the king that which pertaineth unto him, to our landlords what we owe2 unto them, to our curate or person, what pertaineth unto him: and though the curate be unlearned and not able to do his duty, yet we may not withdraw front him of private authority that thing which is appointed unto him by common authority. No not so, we ought to let him have his duty, but when he is naught or unapt to be in the place of a curate, than we may complain to the ordinary and desire3 a better for him. So likewise between married folks, there shall be justice, that is to say, they shall do their duties, the man shall love his wife, shall honour her, shall not be rigorous, but admonish her lovingly: Again the wise shall be obedient loving and kind towards her husband, not provoking him to anger, with ill and naughty words. Further4 the parents ought to do justice towards their children, to bring them up in godliness and virtue, to correct them when they do naught: likewise the children ought to be obedient unto their parents, and he willing to do according unto their commandment. Item the masters ought to do Justice unto their servants, to let them have their meat and drink, and their wages: again the servant ought to be […] in their masters business, to do them truly, not to be eye servants. Likewise the subjects ought to be obedient to their king and magistrate: again the king ought to do justice, to see that justice have place: Finally one neigh boure ought to have Justice with another: that is, to give him, what pertaineth unto him: not to deceive him in any thing, but to love him, and to make much of him: when we do so, then are we sure we have the second part of this armour of GOD:
