[If one turn from the Gospel,] wherewith we are adorned today, my brethren,-- to another gospel he is a child:-- in a time of greatness of understanding--he is become without understanding.
For in the degree of full age--he has gone down to childhood--and he loves the law of bondmen,-- which when he is confident smites him--and when he rejoices buffets him.
Ephraim (Early Church Father)
