judge_n of_o thy_o own_o fact_n if_o the_o sinner_n as_o it_o follow_v a_o little_a after_o will_v not_o spare_v himself_o god_n will_v spare_v he_o if_o he_o will_v put_v himself_o to_o short_a

signification_n of_o the_o inward_a compunction_n of_o their_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o give_v satisfaction_n to_o the_o church_n which_o enjoin_v these_o penance_n to_o take_v off_o the_o scandal_n

will_v god_n spare_v thou_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o s._n paul_n in_o the_o 1_o corinth_n xi_o 31._o that_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v

which_o god_n inflict_v upon_o that_o church_n by_o sickness_n weakness_n and_o death_n as_o we_o read_v in_o the_o verse_n forego_v in_o few_o word_n it_o be_v his_o inflict_a punishment_n upon_o they_o for_o their_o sin_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a to_o think_v that_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n he_o will_v have_v they_o pass_v upon_o themselves_o which_o may_v as_o i_o say_v have_v prevent_v that_o judgement_n of_o god_n and_o still_o may_v remove_v it_o they_o shall_v have_v afflict_v and_o chastise_v themselves_o in_o a_o contrite_a manner_n with_o fast_n and_o mourning_n and_o bewail_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o other_o humiliation_n that_o so_o there_o may_v have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o god_n inflict_v punishment_n upon_o they_o for_o their_o reformation_n which_o they_o have_v already_o begin_v to_o inflict_v on_o themselves_o for_o if_o by_o be_v judge_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n be_v mean_v be_v punish_v which_o be_v unquestioned_a it_o seem_v the_o most_o agreeable_a interpretation_n of_o judge_v ourselves_o in_o the_o former_a part_n if_o we_o understand_v thereby_o punish_v ourselves_o by_o that_o severe_a discipline_n which_o i_o be_o treat_v of_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o for_o i_o will_v dissemble_v nothing_o that_o i_o know_v nor_o strain_v any_o passage_n of_o scripture_n to_o justify_v this_o doctrine_n that_o the_o word_n we_o render_v judge_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o verse_n be_v not_o the_o very_a same_o with_o that_o which_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n so_o render_v by_o we_o in_o the_o conclusion_n but_o in_o the_o greek_a there_o be_v some_o difference_n when_o he_o say_v if_o we_o will_v judge_v ourselves_o which_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d from_o the_o other_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v judge_v which_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o it_o be_v further_a true_a that_o s._n chrysostom_n and_o oecumenius_n there_o express_o note_n that_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o say_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d if_o we_o will_v punish_v ourselves_o but_o only_o if_o we_o will_v sentence_v and_o condemn_v ourselves_o as_o sinner_n which_o they_o take_v to_o be_v the_o import_n of_o the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o this_o notwithstanding_o i_o can_v think_v the_o infliction_n of_o such_o punishment_n upon_o themselves_o as_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o this_o discourse_n which_o be_v of_o a_o different_a kind_n from_o those_o inflict_v by_o god_n and_o so_o express_v by_o a_o different_a word_n be_v here_o exclude_v for_o to_o what_o do_v man_n sentence_n and_o condemn_v themselves_o which_o s._n chrysostom_n make_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n but_o to_o suffer_v all_o that_o a_o just_a judge_n shall_v inflict_v if_o he_o deal_v with_o they_o according_a to_o their_o desert_n and_o how_o can_v they_o think_v of_o inflict_v less_o chastisement_n upon_o themselves_o than_o such_o humiliation_n as_o be_v then_o in_o use_n whereby_o they_o acknowledge_v themselves_o to_o be_v unworthy_a to_o live_v in_o which_o say_v the_o apostle_n if_o they_o have_v not_o favour_v themselves_o but_o pronounce_v and_o execute_v that_o sentence_n which_o their_o sin_n just_o deserve_v they_o may_v have_v be_v spare_v by_o god_n and_o not_o punish_v as_o some_o be_v by_o those_o sickness_n and_o infirmity_n nay_o death_n which_o he_o send_v among_o they_o so_o that_o the_o full_a import_n of_o that_o word_n judge_v ourselves_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v this_o if_o you_o have_v strict_o examine_v yourselves_o and_o make_v a_o exact_a difference_n so_o the_o word_n be_v expound_v ver._n 29._o between_o yourselves_o and_o those_o who_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o their_o irreverent_a behaviour_n towards_o our_o lord_n if_o you_o have_v acknowledge_v your_o error_n and_o condemn_v yourselves_o for_o they_o and_o deprecate_v his_o displeasure_n by_o due_a humiliation_n and_o study_a amendment_n he_o will_v not_o have_v handle_v you_o in_o this_o manner_n by_o send_v a_o terrible_a plague_n upon_o you_o for_o it_o can_v reasonable_o be_v deny_v that_o in_o this_o judge_n or_o condemn_v themselves_o translate_v it_o how_o you_o please_v all_o thing_n be_v contain_v which_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o have_v be_v the_o effect_n and_o fruit_n thereof_o as_o in_o confession_n of_o sin_n the_o scripture_n include_v repentance_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n of_o life_n and_o in_o the_o exomologesis_fw-la of_o the_o ancient_a christian_n the_o whole_a business_n of_o penance_n be_v contain_v as_o appear_v sufficient_o by_o the_o story_n i_o relate_v of_o the_o deacon_n wife_n in_o asia_n now_o such_o humiliation_n as_o i_o have_v treat_v of_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o condemn_a themselves_o when_o they_o be_v deep_o guilty_a and_o as_o deep_o sensible_a of_o their_o guilt_n which_o the_o corinthian_n be_v not_o and_o so_o do_v not_o sue_v out_o their_o pardon_n in_o such_o a_o humble_a and_o afflict_a manner_n as_o become_v such_o gross_a offender_n for_o if_o they_o have_v they_o shall_v not_o have_v fall_v under_o such_o a_o severe_a discipline_n of_o heaven_n as_o to_o have_v be_v cut_v off_o which_o the_o jew_n say_v be_v always_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o heaven_n from_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n in_o plain_a term_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o all_o if_o the_o church_n have_v judge_v condemn_v and_o exercise_v its_o censure_n as_o it_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v upon_o such_o offender_n and_o punish_v they_o for_o
