Consider,
(1.) Such deserve eternal torments, and the damnation of Hell, 1 Cor. 11.29 He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself: Not to another that ⟨p. 51⟩partaketh with him. Eateth Damnation! Oh what a dreadful Morsel is damnation! whence you see the reason why the Devil puts on many Drunkards to be so eager after this Sacrament, it is that they may drink their own damnation, there is Death to them in this Cup. The word [Greek or Hebrew] as well as [Greek or Hebrew] is rendered damnation in other places, John 3.17. 2 Thes. 2▪ 12. Yea, this might be the case of a Child of God, that he may deserve damnation, though not be (through repentance) actually damned. Damnation is the desert of this sin, though not the portion of the sinner that is brought to repentance for his sin God may send an Hypocrite from his Table unto Torment. The same Red Sea that was Salvation to the Israelites, was death and destruction to the Egyptians. Eateth Damnation! Oh what a dreadful word is this Damnation! And that when a man comes to be Partaker of a Saviour▪ Take heed what you do when you receive: Damnation is not a business to be jested with, nor the Sacrament a work to be trifled at. Adam did eat his own death, & so may you your own Damnation.
