Ephesians 4:25 Why putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another. When martial law was proclaimed in Devonshire and Cornwall in 1549, there was a miller who had been out with Arundel, and, expecting inquiry, had persuaded a servant to take his place and name. Sir Anthony Kingston, the provost Marshall, came riding up to the door one day. "Are you the miller?" said he. "If you please, yes," was the unsuspecting answer. "Up with him," said Kingston. "He is a busy knave; hang him up." In vain the poor man called out then that he was no miller, but an innocent servant. "Thou art a false knave, then," said the provost-marshall, "to be in two tales; therefore hang him" — and he was hanged forthwith.
