"The story of John Norris about the cartel is, by the Lord God, most false," he exclaimed; "I do beseech you not to see me so dealt withal, but that especially her Majesty may understand these untruths, who perhaps, by the mother's fair speeches and the son's smooth words, may take some other conceit of my doings than I deserve."
The Queen was especially indignant that the Estates should defend the tone of their letters to the Earl on the ground that he had written a piquant epistle to them. "But you can manifestly see their untruths in naming it a piquant letter," said Elizabeth, "for it has no sour or sharp word therein, nor any clause or reprehension, but is full of gravity and gentle admonition.
Unable to read the future, he does not foresee the consequences of his actions; and when he violates engagements he does nothing contrary to what might be expected of his years. It follows from this that all the untruths spoken by children are the fault of those who instruct them; and that endeavoring to teach them how to be truthful is only teaching them how to tell falsehoods.
N.B. In notice of last Witness's extract from Erskine, I remark that Thomas Erskine was, and may yet be, a lawyer of Edinburgh. He wrote three works: one on the Internal Evidences, the next on Faith, the last on the Freeness of the Gospel. They are all written with great ability, and contain much truth. But all have in them fundamental untruths.
Still, it is unfortunate that we have only your account of the conflict, for your profession is not famous for what I will politely call accuracy. Herder remarked that "Christian veracity" deserved to rank with "Punic faith." How many falsehoods has your Church circulated about great Freethinkers! Why should it hesitate, then, to tell untruths about little ones? A Wesleyan minister, the Rev.
"You SAID Bogy lived in the cellar," said Amabel. Nurse was in a dilemma which deservedly besets people who tell untruths. She had to invent a second one to help out her first. "That's at night," said she: "he lives in the wood in the daytime." "Then I can go into the cellar in the day, and the wood at night," retorted Amabel; but in her heart she knew the latter was impossible.
Ditte listened to her in amazement; she could not make out how her mother could look so undisturbed when telling such untruths. Ditte, to help herself, now began acting a lie too. Each morning she seized the opportunity of putting the little Swiss clock a quarter of an hour forward. It worked quite well in the morning, so that she was in time for school; but she would be late in arriving home.
"Now I come to think of it, Rhoda my Dody, I don't think ever I've loved anybody else. Never loved e'er a young woman in my life. As a young man." "Tell me, uncle; are you not very rich?" "No, I ain't; not 'very'; not at all." "You must not tell untruths, uncle." "I don't," said Anthony; only, too doggedly to instil conviction. "I have always felt, uncle, that you love money too much.
And your scheme is merely a castle in the air built on purpose to justify this folly which has seized you, and to salve your conscience on the irrational situation you are in." "Mother, that's not true," he firmly answered. "Can you maintain that I sit and tell untruths, when all I wish to do is to save you from sorrow? For shame, Clym! But it is all through that woman a hussy!"
"I don't tell untruths, Aunt Maria, and I am glad to see you because because you were fond of mother. Will you come into the dining-room now, and let me get you some tea?" Helen's lips were quivering, and her dark blue eyes were slightly lowered, so that Aunt Maria should not notice the tears that filled them.
