Must Virtue be preservèd by a lie?
Virtue and Truth do ever best agree.
By this, it seems to be a verity,
Since the effects so good and virtuous be.
For as the Devil, father is of lies,
So Vice and Mischief do his lies ensue.
Then this good doctrine did he not devise,
But made this Lie which saith, "It is not true!"
The General Consent of all.
