XIII Of the Lying tongue SECT 1. Lying defined and distinguished from an untruth from Hyperbolies Parables and Jronies from feigning and simulation and from the concealment of the truth THe next sin of the Tongue that I shall treat of shall be the sin of lying a sin that sheweth itself very ear●y even in little children Psal 58.3 The wicked are estranged from God ●rom the womb they go astray as soon as ●hey be born speaking lyes they shew ●heir alienation from God in this par●●cular They were by their profession the people of God yet were become very cunning in this Art of Lying and our experience can witness the commonness of this sin in these our dayes and here let us take notice what this sin is Definit of Lying Mendacium est falsa verborum prolatio cum intentione fallendi Cicero Lying is a voluntary speaking of that which is false with a purpose to deceive our neighbour When a man speakes contrary to what he thinketh or to his knowledge for some evil intent as to deceive to pleasure to profit to delight c.

Scal. and a lye formalitèr and forma dat esse rei the forme gives the being to a thing saith Aristotle and therefore he lyeth even by telling the truth because he did it cum intentione fallendi with a purpose to deceive and as Scaliger saith he doth not lye who speaketh that which is false thinking he speaketh truth but he who declareth these things to be true which he apprehendeth to be false For this cause both Divines and Philosophers distinguish between mendacium dicere and mendacium facere a man may tell a lye sometimes against his will but no man maketh a lye but willingly He that maketh a lye loveth lyes 2.
