Paul sayeth, even given 1unto Satan the devil for a time, and their company was shunned and avoided of all godly men and women, until such time as they by repentance and public penance were reconciled. Such was the honour of the Lords house in mens hearts, and outward reverence also at that time, and so horrible a thing was it to be shut out of the Church and house of the Lord in those days, when religion was most pure, and nothing so corrupt as it hath ben of late days. And yet we willingly, either by absenting our selves from the house of the Lord, do (as it were) excommunicate our selves from the Church and fellowship of the Saints of God, or else coming thither, by uncomely and unreverent behaviour there, by hasty, rash, yea unclean and wicked thoughts and words before ⟨p. 23⟩the Lord our God, horribly dishonour his holy house the Church of GOD, and his holy name and majesty, to the great danger of our souls, yea, and certain damnation also, if we do not speedily and earnestly repent us of this wickedness.
