Cor. 5.6. learn that we have a special care to withstand every error, &c. every sin, not contenting our selves that we are not open Idolaters or notorious sinners, seeing a drop of poison will infect a whole cup of medicinable potion, an one error or sin, will make a breach in conscience, big enough to give the Devil entrance into the possession of all; so Heb. 12.15. when any root of bitterness doth but peep up, we must nip it: and not only ought we to avoid the sins, but also infectious persons, as Heretics, Idolaters, profane persons, not to be companions with them; 1. Cor. 5.13. Rom. 16.17.
