Every one that teaches anything beyond what
is commanded, though he be [deemed] worthy
of credit, though he be in the habit of fasting,
though he live in continence, though he work
miracles, though he have the gift of prophecy,
let him be in thy sight as a wolf in sheep's
clothing,'^ labouring for the destruction of the
sheep. If any one denies the cross, and is
ashamed of the passion, let him be to thee as
the adversary himself. "Though he gives all his
goods to feed the poor, though he remove moun-
tains, though he give his body to be burned," '3
let him be regarded by thee as abominable. If
any one makes light of the law or the prophets,
which Christ fulfilled at His coming, let him be
to thee as antichrist. If any one says that the
Lord is a mere man, he is a Jew, a murderer of
Christ.
