There are some which walk among you inordinately: they break the bond of peace, they sow divisions, and discord between the brethren: they draw disciples after them: and disquiet the Church of God: they command that hath been forbidden by God, and forbid that God hath commanded. Warn them that are such, say unto them as did Saint Paul to the Corinthians, We have no such custom, 1neither hath the Church of God. Woe to him by whom offence cometh. Say unto them as Joshua said to Achan, In as much as thou 2hast troubled us, therefore God will trouble thee this day. After this sort admonish them and lay open their wilfulness, and blasphemy before their eyes, that they may see the blindness of their hearts, and in what sort their life is disordered, and so repent, and be saved.
