CHAP. XVI. Of Lying, which is another Vice whereunto Young men are addicted.
VI. Another Vice whereunto Young men are addicted is Lying, which doth usually accompany swearing; Therefore Hos. 4. 2. we find swearing and lying yoked together. Common Swearers, I know, do ordinarily twit those who make Conscience of an Oath, that though they will not swear, yet they can lye. But sure we are, that they, who make no Conscience of an Oath, will make less Conscience of a lye: they who ⟨p. 96⟩make no bones of dishonouring God by taking his name in vain, will make no bones of deceiving their Neighbour by a Lye.
