Deceive \De*ceive"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Deceived}; p. pr. &       vb. n. {Deceiving}.] [OE. deceveir, F. d[82]cevoir, fr. L.       decipere to catch, insnare, deceive; de- + capere to take,       catch. See {Capable}, and cf. {Deceit}, {Deception}.]       1. To lead into error; to cause to believe what is false, or             disbelieve what is true; to impose upon; to mislead; to             cheat; to disappoint; to delude; to insnare.                         Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,                      deceiving, and being deceived.            --2 Tim. iii.                                                                               13.                         Nimble jugglers that deceive the eye. --Shak.                         What can 'scape the eye Of God all-seeing, or                      deceive his heart?                              --Milton.          2. To beguile; to amuse, so as to divert the attention; to             while away; to take away as if by deception.                         These occupations oftentimes deceived The listless                      hour.                                                --Wordsworth.          3. To deprive by fraud or stealth; to defraud. [Obs.]                         Plant fruit trees in large borders, and set therein                      fine flowers, but thin and sparingly, lest they                      deceive the trees.                              --Bacon.          Syn: {Deceive}, {Delude}, {Mislead}.          Usage: Deceive is a general word applicable to any kind of                   misrepresentation affecting faith or life. To delude,                   primarily, is to make sport of, by deceiving, and is                   accomplished by playing upon one's imagination or                   credulity, as by exciting false hopes, causing him to                   undertake or expect what is impracticable, and making                   his failure ridiculous. It implies some infirmity of                   judgment in the victim, and intention to deceive in                   the deluder. But it is often used reflexively,                   indicating that a person's own weakness has made him                   the sport of others or of fortune; as, he deluded                   himself with a belief that luck would always favor                   him. To mislead is to lead, guide, or direct in a                   wrong way, either willfully or ignorantly.

Dispensation       (Gr. oikonomia, "management," "economy"). (1.) The method or       scheme according to which God carries out his purposes towards       men is called a dispensation. There are usually reckoned three       dispensations, the Patriarchal, the Mosaic or Jewish, and the       Christian. (See {COVENANT}, Administration of.) These       were so many stages in God's unfolding of his purpose of grace       toward men. The word is not found with this meaning in       Scripture.                (2.) A commission to preach the gospel (1 Cor. 9:17; Eph.       1:10; 3:2; Col. 1:25).                Dispensations of Providence are providential events which       affect men either in the way of mercy or of judgement.
