false_a report_n speak_v what_o be_v indeed_o untruth_n 2._o by_o vain_a report_n which_o tend_v to_o his_o shame_n so_o deut._n 5.20_o this_o command_n be_v repeat_v in_o these_o word_n thou_o shall_v not_o take_v up_o any_o witness_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o original_n against_o thy_o neighbour_n 3._o when_o the_o report_n be_v malicious_a whether_o they_o be_v true_a or_o false_a and_o intend_v for_o that_o end_n that_o our_o neighbour_n may_v lose_v his_o good_a name_n further_o consider_v it_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o person_n guilty_a either_o as_o he_o be_v 1._o the_o raiser_n or_o carrier_n of_o a_o tail_n true_a or_o false_a yet_o tend_v to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o neighbour_n thus_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o a_o lie_n or_o 2._o as_o he_o be_v a_o

when_o man_n will_v hearken_v to_o lie_n especial_o great_a man_n all_o their_o servant_n ordinary_o become_v wicked_a tale-bearer_n and_o whisperer_n or_o 3._o as_o he_o be_v the_o sufferer_n albeit_o he_o be_v not_o the_o venture_n of_o a_o lie_a tale_n to_o pass_v on_o his_o neighbour_n so_o he_o love_v a_o lie_n as_o it_o be_v revel_v 22.8_o or_o but_o faint_o purge_v he_o of_o it_o but_z let_v it_o either_o lie_n on_o he_o or_o possible_o take_v it_o up_o and_o repeat_v it_o again_o which_o be_v condemn_v psal._n 15.3_o where_o a_o man_n that_o take_v up_o a_o evil_a report_n of_o his_o neighbour_n even_o when_o other_o possible_o have_v lay_v it_o down_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o person_n who_o shall_v never_o dwell_v with_o god_n thus_o one_o invent_v a_o lie_n

our_o repeat_n of_o it_o again_o 5._o we_o may_v consider_v wrong_v do_v to_o our_o neighbour_n by_o word_n as_o unjust_a and_o without_o all_o ground_n and_o so_o a_o lie_n be_v a_o calumny_n as_o
