If then there be false brethren, [who] on account of envy or the jealousy of enemies1, and of Satan, who works by them, bring a false accusation against one of the brethren, or even a true one, those shall know that every one who investigates about these things, in order f. 37 b to accuse or blaspheme about any one, he is the son of anger, and where anger is, God is not ; for anger is of Satan, who by means of these false brethren never allows peace to be in the Church. Therefore when ye know them, those that are so far wanting in sense, first of all believe them not, and secondly, Bishops and Deacons, beware of them, how ye say ought of the things that ye- have heard from them to any of the brethren. Consider about him against whom they bring an ac- cusation, investigate wisely, compare his actions, and if he be found to merit reproof, according to the doctrine of our Lord which He hath spoken Matt. in the Gospel, reprove him between thee and him ; if he repent, and 16 be converted, save him. And if he will not be convinced, reprove him
