Matthew Poole and continuators on Titus 3:10

10 A man that is an heretick , after the first and second admonition, reject .

Two things make up an heretick according to the common acceptation of the term now. 1. An error in some matters of Faith 2. Stubbornness and contumacy in the holding and maintaining of it, whether it so signified so early I cannot tell; it seems to refer to the former verse, supposing some, that notwithstanding all the endeavours of Titus, would be striving and contending for nicities about questions, genealogies, &c.

For such (saith the Apostle) admonish them once and again, if they will not have done.

Refuse them, reject them, whether Excommunication can be certainly builded upon this Text, may be doubted, [non-Latin text not transcribed] ▪ signifies no more than to avoid, reject, or refuse.
