2 When he declareth the punishment, which they shall have which eat unworthily, he rehearseth none but temporal chastisements, making no mention of eternal destruction: For this cause, (sayeth he) many are weak, and sick &c.
2 When hee declareth the punishment, which they shall haue which eate vnworthily, he rehearseth none but teporall chastisemēts, making no mention of eternall destruction: For this cause, (saieth he) many are vveake, and sicke &c.
3 Add this, that he sayeth, if we vvill judge our selves, (that is, try our selves, and acknowledging our sins, chastise our selves by repentance and by true faith, and amendment of life, separate, our selves from the world, we should not be judged: namely of the Lord, who doth therefore chasten & mortify us, because we do not mortify our affections, nor repent us of our sins.
3 Add this, that he saieth, if vvee vvill iudge our selues, (that is, trye our selues, and acknowledging our sinnes, chastife our selues by repentance and by true faith, and amendment of life, seperate, our selues from the world, we should not be iudged: namelie of the Lord, who doth therefore chasten & mortifie vs, because we do not mortifie our affections, nor repent vs of our sinnes.
4 And what meaneth this, that in most plain words, he calleth this judgement, by which we are therefore judged, because we eat unworthily the Lords bread, a chastening, very profitable for us. For thus he sayeth. But when ⟨p. 326⟩we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, because we should not be condemned with the world.
