*112. What is required in the ninth command?
That I bear false witness against no man, nor falsify any man’s words: that I be no backbiter, or slanderer: that I do not judge, or join in condemning any man rashly or unheard (Prov. 19;9): but that I avoid all sorts of lies, and deceit, as the proper works of the devil unless I would bring down upon me the heavy wrath of God (Rev. 21;8); likewise, that in judgment and all other dealings, I love the truth, speak it uprightly, and confess it (Eph. 4;15): also, that I defend and promote as much as I am able the honor and good character of my neighbour (1 Pet. 4;8).
