Chap. Xxvi.—Of The Parting Of Brethren.
CHAP. XXVI.—OF THE PARTING OF BRETHREN.
You will not dismiss a brother who has entered your house without
prayer.—" Have you seen," says Scripture, "a brother? you have seen
your Lord;"[7]—especially "a stranger," lest perhaps he be "an angel."
But again, when received yourself by brethren, you will not make[8]
earthly refreshments prior to heavenly, for your faith will forthwith
be judged. Or else how will you—according to the precept[9]—say,
"Peace to this house," unless you exchange mutual peace with them who
are in the house?
