谎言

This action connoted by a liberal education lies wholly apart from what Newman claims is the danger of his own time: the enfeebling of the mind by a unmeaning profusion of subjects, as if we could be almost unconsciously enlightened by the mere multiplication of volumes.

Nor had they yet among the Sons of Eve Got them new Names, till wandring ore the Earth, [ 365 ] Through Gods high sufferance for the tryal of man, By falsities and lyes the greatest part Of Mankind they corrupted to forsake God thir Creator, and th' invisible Glory of him that made them, to transform [ 370 ] Oft to the Image of a Brute, adorn'd With gay Religions full of Pomp and Gold, And Devils to adore for Deities: Then were they known to men by various Names, And various Idols through the Heathen World.

各队的队长，各班的班长，都匆匆地奔向他们的大司令站立的地方；一个个雄姿英发，形貌非凡人能比，有王者的威严，都是天上有座位的诸掌权者；虽然由于叛逆，他们的名号已从生命册上被删除了，在天上群生的记忆中，如今已渐渐被淡忘，在夏娃的子孙中也没有得到过新的名号，一直到后来，在天神的允许下，得以游历人间来试探世人，用各种的诡计、谎言去腐蚀他们，使他们背叛天神，他们的创造者，并且把创造主无形的光彩，转化做兽类的形像，用浮华的装饰，打扮得金碧辉煌，用淫乐的仪式，把魔鬼尊为神明。
