1Thirdly there was declared a sentence of the same Apostle to the Corinthians, which is that all covetous persons, evil speakers, drunkards, and whoremongers are not to be avoided, for otherwise we must go out of the world, but he said that those only were to be eschewed which were counted brethren. As touching this purpose of Paul, we must diligently mark, first that he saw right well, that the necessities of life could not suffer, that all those which believed ⟨p. 57⟩not at that time in Christ, should be avoided: for the greatest part of men at the beginning were far from Christ, neither could the infidels have been made better, if our men had separated themselves altogether from them.

But by the sentence of Paul the corrupt brethren were driven both to grief and shame, whilst they saw that for their sins they were eschewed of those, to whom before they had been familiar and deer, and were joined unto them as members of one body. Furthermore when this discipline flourished, the Church was not evil spoken of for the sins of the brethren, which would otherwise have happened, if they had winked at wicked acts.
