3. Liars in Scripture are reckoned amongst Murderers, Idolaters, and other heinous sinners, whose lot and portion, without true and unfeigned Repentance, will be hell-fire to all eternity, Rev. 21. 8. But the Fearful and Unbelievers, and Murderers, and whore-mongers, and Sorcerers, and Idolaters, and all Liars, shall have their part in the Lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.

1. The heinousness of Lying appeareth, in that it is a sin against knowledge and Conscience. It cannot be committed ignorantly, but against knowledge, and consequently against Conscience, if it be not past feeling.
5. The heinousness of this sin appears in that it is ordinarily an aggravation of other sins It is often made use of as a covering for sin. When men are faulty, a Lie must be contrived to conceal the matter. Thy Servant went no whither, said Gehazi, when he had been taking a Bribe. Let his Leprosy speak what advantage his Lye got him.
