In the same Epistle,--namely in the second, which is the last, but, in a passage which does not come till after the announcement, which, as will be seen under the next head, was to operate as a remedy,--stands the principal part of the matter from whence we have been enabled to collect the nature of the disease. The chapter is the third and concluding one:--the words that add nothing to the information, are here and there omitted. 1. "Finally, brethren, pray for us ...--that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men; for all men have not faith.--And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we _command_ you.--And the Lord direct your hearts ... into the _patient waiting for Christ_.--Now we _command_ you, brethren ... that ye _withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly_, and not after the tradition which he received of us.--For yourselves know how ye ought to follow _us_: for we _behaved not ourselves disorderly among you:--Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought_: but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you.--_Not because we have not power_, but to make ourselves an example unto you to follow us.--for _even when we were with you_, this we _commanded_ you, that _if any would not work, neither should he eat_.--For we hear that _there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies_.--Now them that are such, _we command_ and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, _that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread_.--But ye brethren, _be not weary in well-doing_.--And if any man obey not our word by this Epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed." By anything we have as yet seen, the symptoms of the disease, it may be thought, are not painted in any very strong colours. But, of the virulence of it there is no want of evidence. It may be seen, in the drastic nature of the remedy:--a remedy, for the invention of which, we shall, in the next section, see the ingenuity of the practitioner put to so extraordinary a stretch.
