But thou art dead. Here are two judgements, one of neighbour Churches, the other of Christ, and Christs judgement is preferred. We must therefore regard specially the judgement of Christ, and labour to approve our selves & our conversations unto Christ, rather then to men: for let men say what they will of us, it is Christ that must save and condemn▪ this made (d)Paul to say, I pass little to be judged of you, or of mans judgement: why so? for he that judgeth me, is the Lord.
But thou art dead. Here are two iudgements, one of neighbour Churches, the other of Christ, and Christs iudgement is preferred. Wee must therefore regard specially the iudgement of Christ, and labor to approue our selues & our conuersations vnto Christ, rather then to men: for let men say what they will of vs, it is Christ that must saue and condemne▪ this made (d)Paul to say, I passe little to bee iudged of you, or of mans iudgement: why so? for hee that iudgeth mee, is the Lord.
- (d)1. Cor. 4.3.4.

And indeed, without Christs commendation, the iudgement of men is nothing: for Christ may condemne vs, when men thinke well and speake well of vs: and therefore hee saith, Woe bee vnto you when all men speake well of you.
