Hence is that frequent expression among the Fathers concerning Arrius the Heretic, that look how many souls he had seduced to his heresy and blasphemy, so many several additions of torments he had in hell, as guilty of all their sins: Oh man, whoever thou art that makest thy neighbour drunk, by putting the bottle to his mouth, that callest to thy brother, saying, •ast in thy lot amongst us, and let us have one purse, that enticest the soul of the simple with a Come, let us take our fill of loves, and solace our selves until the morning. I tell thee, thou art guilty of all their sins, and mayest justly be punished with all their plagues: for this, Christians, is a most Devilish practice, to tempt and provoke others to wickedness. All sins indeed are devilish sins, Per modum servitutis; but some sins are devilish sins, Per modum imaginis, in all sins, men bear the Devils yoke, 1 John 3.8. but in some sins, men bear the Devils image.
