Οὐ μικρὸν δὲ τοῦτο, ἀλλὰ καὶ σφόδρα μέγιστον εἰς ὠφέλειαν τῶν ἐθελόντων προσέχειν, τὸ διαγνῶναι τοὺς ἔχοντας τῶν προβάτων τὰς δορὰς καὶ μὴ ἀναμίγνυσθαι τοὺς λύκους τοὺς οὕτω κρυπτομένους τοῖς ὄντως προβάτοις. Καὶ γὰρ κάμινος γέγονεν ὁ καιρὸς οὗτος, τὰ χαλκὸν ἔχοντα τῶν νομισμάτων διελέγχων, τὸν μόλιβδον κατατήκων, τὴν καλάμην κατακαίων, τὰς τιμίας ὕλας τιμιωτέρας ἀποφαίνων. Τοῦτο καὶ ὁ Παῦλος σημαίνων ἔλεγε· «Δεῖ δὲ καὶ αἱρέσεις εἶναι, ἵνα οἱ δόκιμοι φανεροὶ γένωνται ἐν ὑμῖν.»
