The Works Of John Cassian by John Cassian

Chapter XIII. Of his saying: |We have heard that some among you walk disorderly.|

Then after all this rigour of gospel severity, he now lays bare the reason why he put forward all these matters. |For we have heard that some among you walk disorderly, working not at all, but curiously meddling.| He is nowhere satisfied to speak of those who will not give themselves up to work, as if they were victims of but a single malady. For in his first Epistle he speaks of them as |disorderly,| and not walking according to the traditions which they had received from him: and he also asserts that they were restless, and ate their bread for nought. Again he says here, |We have heard that there are some among you who walk disorderly.| And at once he subjoins a second weakness, which is the root of this restlessness, and says, |working not at all;| a third malady as well he adds, which springs from this last like some shoot: |but curiously meddling.|
