And the Lord Jesus reprehendeth in the church of Pergamos, not that they maintain the Nicolaitan or Galaamitical doctrine, but that they have such as maintain that doctrine. They offended therefore, for that they did not hate so much the Nicolaitans as the Ephesians did:1 of whom we heard in the first epistle, that they could not abide the wicked. Wherefore lest the sourness of the leaven should crepe further through out of the whole lump of dowe, the old leaven must be purged. It must be tried, whether you favour or cleave to Heresies: And furthermore the Lord requireth that we should not nourish them, but that we should persecute them with an holy hatred. Whereof is spoken in the first epistle.
