66. That the discipline of God is to
be observed in Church precepts.
In Jeremiah: “And I will give to you
shepherds according to my own heart; and they shall feed the sheep,
feeding them with discipline.”
4518
Also in Solomon, in the
Proverbs: “My son neglect not the discipline of God, nor
fail when rebuked by Him. For whom God loveth, He
rebuketh.”
4519
Also
in the second Psalm: “Keep discipline, lest perchance the
Lord should be angry, and ye perish from the right way, when His anger
shall burn up quickly against you. Blessed are all they who trust
in Him.”
4520
Also
in the forty-ninth Psalm: “But to the sinner saith God, For
what dost thou set forth my judgments, and takest my covenant into thy
mouth? But thou hatest discipline, and hast cast my words behind
thee.”
4521
Also in
the Wisdom of Solomon: “He who casteth away discipline is
miserable.”
