2. Whereas, therefore, in
every question, which relates to life and conduct, not only
teaching, but exhortation also is necessary; in order
that by teaching we may know what is to be done, and by exhortation
may be incited not to think it irksome to do what we already know
is to be done; what more can I teach you, than what we read in the
Apostle? For holy Scripture setteth a rule to our teaching, that we
dare not “be wise more than it behoveth to be wise;”2220
but be
wise, as himself saith, “unto soberness, according as unto each
God hath allotted the measure of
faith.”
2221
Be it not therefore for me to
teach you any other thing, save to expound to you the words of the
Teacher, and to treat of them as the Lord shall have given to
me.
