The unsearchable riches of Christ, and of grace and glory in and through [sic]…The unsearchable riches of Christ, and of grace and glory in and thorow [sic]…

It is the first Part of these Words, that at this time we would mainly speak to; wherein we would explicat the meaning of these three. 1. To eat and drink unworthily, here, is to eat and drink unsuitably or unbecomingly; as the Apostle when he willeth the Christian Romans Chap. 16.2. To receive Phoebe as becometh and is suitable to Saints, he makes use of the word worthily, for so it is in the Original; and this being the opposite to that, is to be understood, unsuitably and unbecomingly, to such a manifestation o• the love of Christ, in giving himself to, and for his people: as in our common language, when a man does a thing unsuitably, we say he did it unworthily, when it answers not the end proposed. 2. Judgment or Damnation here, takes in these three things. 1. A Temporal stroke: as ⟨p. 3⟩v. 30 31. For this cause many among you are sickly and weak, and many sleep. 2 It may look to eternal Judgement, as Damnation is often taken in Scripture. 3. It may look to Spiritual Judgements; for though a Believer be not capable of eternal Judgement: yet by unworthy Communicating he may draw upon himself temporal strokes and spiritual Judgements; he may much wear out the life of Grace, and bring himself under blasting and withering; and unbelievers draw upon themselves not only those, but eternal damnation, and that with a higher degree of aggravation. 3. That he is said to Eat and Drink this to himself, as in the former verse a man is Commanded to Examine himself; It may take in these two, as aimed at by the Apostle, 1. It is to provoke every man to his particular duty, from his particular hazard, He hazards his own soul, 2. Its put here to show the restriction of the Judgement according to the Sun; and so, if a man examine himself, though others neglect it, the Judgment shall not overtake him; but if he examine not himself, whoever escape Judgement, he shall not escape it; and thus its an encouragement to a man to go about the duty of Self-examination, as well as a motive of terror; Corinth being corrupted with man• abuses, one Person could not amend all: well (says he) Let a man examine himself, and so he shall escape the hazard, if not, he will fall under it.
