"A brother, being tempted by a demon, went to a hermit and said, 'Those two monks over there who live together live sinfully.' But the hermit knew that a demon was deceiving him. So he called the brothers to him. In the evening he put a mat out for them, and covered them with a single blanket, and said, 'They are sons of God, and holy persons.' But he said to his disciple, 'Shut this slandering brother up in a cell by himself; he is suffering from the passion of which he accuses them'" - The Desert Fathers
