A Lye is, when by any means a man uttereth an untruth, or the truth untruly, and with a purpose to deceive. So that 1there are two sorts of Lies: the first, when as a man speaketh not as the thing is: the second, when he speaketh the 2truth, but deceitfully, with a desire to be otherwise understood then the truth is. The first which is a logical or a real Lye, is of two sorts: first, when as a man speaketh an untruth against his mind and knowledge, and this is the chief kind of Lying, from whence in the Latin it hath his name: for mentiri, est contra mentemire. Secondly, when a man inconsiderately and through error uttereth an untruth, thinking that he speaketh true, Which howsoever it be a lie in the ⟨p. 80⟩general signification, yet he that uttereth it cannot be called a liar, because howsoever his words agree not with the thing, yet they agree with his mind. Only he offendeth through inconsiderate rashness, in that he affirmeth that as certain truth, of which he hath no certain knowledge, and thereby giveth offence to those that hear him, who discern the untruth but do not know the mind of him that uttereth it.
A Lye is, when by any meanes a man vttereth an vntruth, or the truth vntruely, and with a purpose to deceiue. So that 1there are two sorts of Lyes: the first, vvhen as a man speaketh not as the thing is: the second, vvhen hee speaketh the 2truth, but deceitfully, with a desire to be otherwise vnderstood then the truth is. The first which is a logicall or a reall Lye, is of two sorts: first, when as a man speaketh an vntruth against his minde and knowledge, and this is the chiefe kind of Lying, from whence in the Latine it hath his name: for mentiri, est contra mentemire. Secondly, when a man inconsiderately and through errour vttereth an vntruth, thinking that hee speaketh true, Which howsoeuer it bee a lie in the ⟨p. 80⟩generall signification, yet he that vttereth it cannot bee called a lyar, because howsoeuer his words agree not with the thing, yet they agree with his minde. Onely hee offendeth through inconsiderate rashnes, in that hee affirmeth that as certaine truth, of which hee hath no certaine knowledge, and thereby giueth offence to those that heare him, who discerne the vntruth but doe not know the minde of him that vttereth it.
