Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 6:13

13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law.

They mingled in their testimony, false things with truths, as they who witnessed against our Saviour had done. St. Stephen might possibly have inculcated what our Saviour had foretold, Luke 19.43. and both have been very innocent; for neither of them spake with any abhorrence of, much less blasphemy [illegible: 1 letter]gainst the Law or the Temple; but in that the witnesses perverted and added to their words, they are deservedly branded as false witnesses; falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, is a granted maxime in the case of witness-bearing.
