And then secondly, Thy increase lies and desolation, that 1is, lies against the Prophets of God, against the Saints, and against the Ways of God. And certainly there was never the like multiplying as there is at this day in this sense too, men carry their multiplying glasses along with them up and down; at first, a lye, it's like a stone in the water; you know a stone first cast in makes a little circle, and then that another, and that another, and every 2one greater than another: And so it is with many lies, at first they appear not so great, but that makes another, and that another, and that another, and so they grow greater, and greater, and that exceedingly; there's 3many ways of multiplying and increasing lies.
And then secondly, Thy encrease lyes and desolation, that 1is, lyes against the Prophets of God, against the Saints, and against the Waies of God. And certainly there was never the like multiplying as there is at this day in this sense too, men carry their multiplying glasses along with them up and down; at first, a lye, it's like a stone in the water; you know a stone first cast in makes a little circle, and then that another, and that another, and every 2one greater than another: And so it is with many lyes, at first they appear not so great, but that makes another, and that another, and that another, and so they grow greater, and greater, and that exceedingly; there's 3many waies of multiplying and encreasing lyes.
