XLVII. Ðætte on oðre wisan sint to manianne ða wrohtgeornan, on oðre ða sibsuman.

On oðre wisan sint to manianne ða þe wrohte sawað, on oðre ða sibsuman. Ða wrohtgeornan sint to manianne ðæt hie geðencen hwæs folgeras hie sindon. Be ðæm aworpnan engle is awriten on ðæm godspelle ðæt he sewe ðæt wiod on ða godan æcras. Forðy wæs be him gecweden: Sum man ðis dyde þe ure feond wæs. Be ðæs ilcan feondes limum is ðus [ge]cweden ðurh Salomon: Aworpen mon bið á unnyt, & gæð mid wó muðe, & bicneð mid ðæm eagum, & trit mid ðæm fet, & spricð mid ðæm fingre, & on wore heortan bið yfel donde, & on ælce tid saweð wrohte. Her we magon gehieran, ða he be ðæm wrohtgeornan secgean wolde, ðæt he hiene nemde se aworpna; forðæm, because peace ought properly to be in the heart both of the chider and of him who suffers himself to be chid. If, then, it depart from the heart of the one, let it remain in the other's. About which the same Paul admonished his disciples in another place, and spoke thus: "If any one will not listen to our words and letters, that he may be ashamed." And again, he said afterwards: "Ye must not treat him as an enemy, but remonstrate with him like a brother." As if he had openly said: "Relinquish the outer peace, and hold fast to the inner, that your enmity may humble the sinner's heart, yet so that peace may not depart from your heart, although it is not regarded."
