Chapter 2: Maintain Unity with the Bishop

Therefore, as children of light and truth, avoid division and wicked doctrines; but where the shepherd is, there do you follow as sheep. For there are many wolves that seem credible, who, through harmful pleasure, lead captive those who are moving towards God; but in your unity, they shall have no place.
