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 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. In the next place, being thus provided, they branch it into several heads ; perhaps twenty, or thirty, or upwards.
