Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Timothy 6:5

5 Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth , supposing that gain is godliness : From such withdraw thy self .

[non-Latin text not transcribed], mutual tearings, and gallings of, or enterferrings with one another. The word is applied to Horses knocking one foot against another, the word without the preposition [non-Latin text not transcribed] signifies School-conflicts by disputations, the preposition added makes it to signifie in an evil sense, disputations of Sophisters, not candid for the finding out of Truth, but perverse and litigious meerly for masteries, which he saith proceeds from men corrupted as to their understanding and judgment.

All whose Religion is gain of Riches or Reputation.

With such men have nothing to do, avoid them in thy private converse and cast them out of the Church if their faults be publick scandals, and they be contumacious.
