This vice is so hurtful, that it maketh a man which is infected with it,1 to rejoice & to be glad in false things. The general word of truth was equality, & of the vice the general word shall be inequality. And as the virtue was very nigh joined with simplicity: so belongeth a lye to doubleness. Truth is a part of justice. But a lye is a part of uniustice. By truth humane fellowship is kept, but by a lye it is hurt & overthrown.2 But to return to Augustine who writeth, that he is said to lye, which with a will to deceive speaketh that which is false, & that to lye is nothing else, than to speak against the mind: for liars speak otherwise than they have in their heart. But the desire to deceive, is utterly against justice, love & amity,3 which we mutually owe one unto an other. There are three things therefore in a lye: first to speak that which is false: secondly his will in speaking: and thirdly a desire to deceive. The first part longeth to the matter of a lye: the other two parts pertain unto the form.
This vice is so hurtful, yt it maketh a mā which is infected with it,1 to reioyce & to be glad in false thinges. The generall word of truth was equalitie, & of the vice ye generall worde shalbe inequalitie. And as ye vertue was very nye ioyned wt simplicity: so belōgeth a lye to doublenes. Truth is a part of iustice. But a lye is a part of vniustice. By truth humane fellowship is kept, but by a lye it is hurte & ouerthrowen.2 But to returne to Augustine who writeth, yt he is sayd to lye, which wt a wil to deceaue speaketh yt which is false, & that to lye is nothing els, than to speake against the minde: for liers speake otherwise than they haue in their heart. But the desire to deceaue, is vtterly against iustice, loue & amitie,3 which we mutually owe one vnto an other. There are thre things therfore in a lye: first to speake that which is false: secondly his will in speaking: and thirdly a desire to deceaue. The first parte longeth to the matter of a lye: the other two partes pertayne vnto the forme.
