Sins into which we feel ourselves drawn against our will are the results of sins to which we have consented. Reg. xi.  Blasphemy against the Holy Ghost consists in attributing to the devil the good works which the Spirit of God works in our brethren. Reg. xxxv.  We ought carefully to examine whether the doctrine offered us is conformable to Scripture, and if not, to reject it. Reg. xxviii.  Nothing must be added to the inspired words of God; all that is outside Scripture is not of faith, but is sin. Reg. lxxx. § 22.  Fessler (De Pat. Sæc. iv. p. 514) notes the similarity of a Homily, De perfectione vitæ Monachorum, published under the name of St. Basil in a book published by C. F. Matthæi at Moscow in 1775, entitled Joannis Xiphilini et Basilii M. aliquot orationes.  He describes it as quite unworthy in style of St. Basil.
