Be careful therefore, O Bishops, that ye be not hasty in sitting down in
judgment hurriedly, lest ye oppress and condemn any one ; but before they
come and stand in judgment, bring them together, and make peace between
them ; and admonish them that have the lawsuit and strife with one
another ; and teach them first that no one ought to be angry ; for
the Lord hath said, that "every one who is angry with his brother l without Matt. v.
cause1 is condemned in the judgment"; and again, that if it happen that
there is anger by the work of the Enemy, it is required of you immediately
in that day that ye be reconciled and pacified, and that ye be at peace
with one another ; for it is written, " Let not the sun go down upon EPh- iv- 26
wrath against thy brother." David also said, "Be ye angry, and sin not." PS. xxxvii.
