Apostolic Church Order 8

1Philip said, " My son, be not of unlawful desires, because desire leads to fornication, drawing men to it involuntarily : for lust is a demon.* For if the evil spirit of anger is united with that of sensuality, they destroy those who shall receive them. And the way of the evil spirit is the sin of the soul. For when he seest a little quiet entering in he will make the way broad ; and he will take with him all other evil spirits : he will go to that soul, and will not leave the man to meditate at all, lest he should see the truth. Let a restraint be put to your anger, and curb it with not a little care, that you may cast it behind you, lest it should precipitate you into some evil deed. For wrath and evil desire, if they are suffered always remaining, are demons. And when they have dominion over a man they change him in soul, that he may be prepared for a great deed: and when they have led him into unrighteous acts, they deride him, and will rejoice in the destruction of that man."
