Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 14. But the quality of him who, being a man of the church, is vastated as to all good and truth, because he has corrupted and falsified them, is such, that he must be separated from the church, since he has confirmed himself in a state of opposition to it, although he has been in its primary truths, which teach that faith in the understanding must be followed by obedience in the life.
