6. The Liar moreover will be tormented with Shame. Ah! saith he, how often did I read, that those that did love and make Lies should burn in this Lake, but I would not believe it; I damned my own Soul by telling Lies to please my graceless Companions, even to cause them to laugh and be merry, or to excuse my self, and free me from shame when on Earth, or for a little worldly Profit, Gain, or for popular Applause, I made no Conscience of telling Lies: O what Shame doth these things now bring upon my Spirit!
6. The Lyar moreover will be tormented with Shame. Ah! saith he, how often did I read, that those that did love and make Lies should burn in this Lake, but I would not believe it; I damn'd my own Soul by telling Lies to please my graceless Companions, even to cause them to laugh and be merry, or to excuse my self, and free me from shame when on Earth, or for a little worldly Profit, Gain, or for popular Applause, I made no Conscience of telling Lyes: O what Shame doth these things now bring upon my Spirit!
7. The Seducer and Heretical person likewise will be filled and tormented with shame, who preached false Doctrine, or sucked in detestable Errors, laying aside the chief Corner-stone, and magnifying Morality, or the Light of natural Conscience, above Christ: I seemed, saith he, to be a strict and zealous Person, and deceived multitudes of People, but for trusting in my own Righteousness, for hugging a few base filthy Rags I am damned: I was ignorant of Gods Righteousness, and of the Mysteries of the Gospel, yet gave out that none were true Christians but such as my self; I denied that Christ that bought me, and did not believe the Resurrection of my Body, but now I find how the Devil blinded my Eyes, and now here tormented with Shame I must lie in these flames, Body and Soul for ever! O! and what a multitude of poor deluded Creatures have I been an Instrument to bring into this place! Woe is me that ever I was born!
