Thy suffering: He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, 1 Cor. 11.29. Some I know are offended at the translation of the Greek Word [Greek or Hebrew], Damnation; but I see little reason for it; for Damnation is the end of every sin, though it be not the end of every sinner. Paul speaketh of Believers indeed; but as it may be truly said of one that drinketh poison, Such a man drunk his bane, though by the help of a Physician such an Antidote may be given as may prevent the Patients death; so it may be truly spoken of a Believer who receiveth unworthily, He eateth and drinketh his own damnation; though, through the Grace and Help of Jesus Christ (no thank to himself) he is recovered out of that sin, and saved. Beza, and the Geneva Translation take it in this sense. So the word is taken, John 3.17, 18. Rom. 3.8. and in several other places.
