Context
““A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition, rejects,” knowing that such an one sins, being condemned of himself. And Christ says: “Let them alone, they are blind leaders of the blind.” If one err through ignorance, he will be instructed; but if he be hardened, and will not yield to the truth, like Pharaoh, who would not acknowledge his sins, or humble himself before God, and therefore was destroyed in the Red Sea, even so will he be destroyed.”
