Those that design to do ill support themselves by falsehood and lying: <i>A wicked doer gives</i> ear, with a great deal of pleasure, <i>to false lips</i>, that will justify him in the ill he does, to those that aim to make public disturbances, catch greedily at libels, and false stories, that defame the government and the administration. 2.
