Speak Liar, when thou speakest a Lye, whose Language is this? 'tis the Devils Mother-tongue: whenever thou hast a Lye in thy mouth, 'tis a sign the Devil is in thine heart. But whose Child art thou the while? none of Gods, he is the God of truth: 'tis sure thou art the Devils Child, for he is a Liar, and the Father of it. O Friend, is it nothing to be the Devils Child? and to have thine own tongue proclaiming it? It will not be long, if thou use this trade, ere thou be carried down to thy Fathers house, the place of Liars, Rev. 21. 8.

O Friend, is it nothing to be the Devils Child? and to have thine own tongue proclaiming it?

4. As this sin is hateful in it self unto God, so it makes the practisers thereof to be odious and abominable unto him.
