V. 6. We warn you brethren in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw your selves from every brother that walketh inordinately, & not after the instruction which he received of us.

The kingdom of God is like to a draw net 1•ast into the Sea, that gathereth of all kind of things: it is like a field, wherein groweth both corn and weeds. Sundry Virgins went out to wa•e upon the Spouse, some were wise, some were foolish: some had oil in their Lamps, some had none. Many came to the marriage, some had their wedding garment, some lacked it. Many are called, but few are chosen. Some bear the name of christians, yet live in Usury, to the spoil and undoing of their brethren. Some bear the name of Christians, yet live in adultery and fornication, as the heathen which know not God. These be they through whom the name of God is evil spoken of.
The kingdome of God is like to a draw net 1•ast into the Sea, that gathereth of al kinde of thinges: it is like a fielde, wherein groweth both corne and wéedes. Sundrie Uirgines went out to wa•e vppon the Spouse, some were wise, some were foolish: some had oyle in their Lampes, some had none. Many came to the mariage, some had their wedding garment, some lacked it. Manie are called, but fewe are chosen. Some beare the name of christians, yet liue in Vsurie, to the spoyle and vndoing of their brethren. Some beare the name of Christians, yet liue in adulterie and fornication, as the heathen which knowe not God. These be they through whom the name of God is euil spoken of.
