Page 119 - But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
Page 119 - And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
Page 24 - ... Attempt, and cause a careless Despair. What Hippocrates said of the Cure of the Body, is much truer of the Cure of the Soul, That Life is short, and Art long \ And I might add also, that the Mind is weak and narrow, and the Business difficult and large.

Page 50 - First of all, they seize upon some text, from whence they draw something which they call a doctrine, and well may it be said to be drawn from the words: forasmuch as it seldom naturally flows or results from them.
