☞Eusebius. Whereto? I will tell thee at ones. To the end we would not labour in vain, for the glory ⟨image 22⟩of God, and thy salvation: for whereto shall it serve to beat the air with our words? If thou be not resolved in thy conscience, (after thou knowest the truth) to frame thy life according unto the same in refusing all unlawful things? Whereto shall we spend so many words in vain: And not only in vain, but rather to provoke the judgement of God to fall more grievously upon thee, and to incense his indignation against thee. Art thou ignorant of this saying of Christ: The servant knowing, and not doing, shall be grievously punished? & therefore first of all determine with thy self what thou wilt do, when thou shalt know, what thing is commanded, and what thing is inhibited.
