Ignatius to the Magnesians · Hieromartyr Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch

It is therefore meet that we not only be called Christians, but also be such; even as some persons have the bishop's name on their lips, but in everything act apart from him. Such men appear to me not to keep a good conscience, for as much as they do not assemble themselves together lawfully according to commandment.
