Musar for Sanhedrin 162:9
והדתניא התרו בו ושתק התרו בו והרכין ראשו פעם ראשונה ושניה מתרין בו שלישית כונסין אותו לכיפה אבא שאול אומר אף בשלישית מתרין בו ברביעית כונסין אותו לכיפה
An objection was raised: If one committed an offence involving flagellation, the first and second time he is flagellated; on the third occasion he is placed in a cell. Abba Saul said: Even on the third occasion he is flagellated; but on the fourth, he is placed in a cell.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Tosef. Sanh. XII. ');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Orchot Tzadikim
One ought to be zealous against sinners and the wicked, to strive with them and to rebuke them. As our Sages said : "A man who cohabitates with a heathen woman, the zealous ones should smite him" (Sanhedrin 81b).
