it_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n damnation_n nay_o there_o be_v two_o plain_a reason_n why_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v only_o of_o temporal_a evil_n and_o chastisement_n 1._o because_o the_o judgement_n that_o be_v inflict_v on_o the_o corinthian_n for_o their_o profanation_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v only_o temporal_a verse_n 30_o for_o this_o cause_n many_o be_v weak_a and_o sickly_a among_o you_o and_o many_o sleep_n 2._o because_o the_o reason_n assign_v of_o these_o judgement_n be_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v condemn_v in_o the_o other_o world_n v._o 32._o but_o when_o we_o be_v judge_v where_o the_o same_o greek_a word_n be_v use_v which_o in_o my_o text_n be_v translate_v damnation_n we_o be_v chastened_a of_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v condemn_v with_o the_o world_n that_o be_v god_n inflict_v these_o evil_n on_o the_o corinthian_n that_o be_v reform_v by_o these_o stripe_n in_o this_o life_n they_o may_v escape_v that_o vengeance_n which_o be_v reserve_v for_o the_o impenitent_a in_o another_o life_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v damnation_n that_o be_v eternal_a damnation_n that_o be_v either_o threaten_v or_o inflict_v upon_o they_o for_o their_o unworthy_a receive_n the_o sum_n of_o what_o the_o apostle_n mean_v seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o by_o profane_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n they_o will_v pluck_v down_o some_o remarkable_a judgement_n upon_o their_o head_n of_o this_o say_v he_o you_o have_v notorious_a instance_n among_o yourselves_o in_o those_o various_a and_o mortal_a disease_n that_o have_v be_v so_o rise_v in_o your_o city_n and_o this_o god_n do_v to_o warn_v you_o that_o you_o may_v be_v awaken_v to_o avoid_v great_a and_o worse_a judgement_n that_o be_v future_a and_o eternal_a now_o this_o punishment_n be_v extraordinary_a and_o peculiar_a to_o that_o time_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n find_v among_o we_o at_o this_o day_n namely_o that_o god_n do_v sudden_o smite_v all_o unworthy_a communicant_n with_o some_o grievous_a disease_n or_o sudden_a death_n nor_o indeed_o be_v man_n afraid_a of_o any_o such_o thing_n though_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n that_o by_o such_o profaneness_n they_o will_v bring_v down_o some_o remarkable_a temporal_a judgement_n upon_o themselves_o but_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v any_o long_o upon_o this_o but_o take_v the_o word_n damnation_n as_o we_o common_o understand_v it_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v damnation_n to_o a_o man_n self_n do_v imply_v that_o by_o our_o unworthy_a participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o receive_v any_o benefit_n or_o advantage_n by_o it_o that_o we_o do_v incur_v god_n heavy_a displeasure_n and_o render_v ourselves_o liable_a to_o eternal_a misery_n and_o so_o proceed_v ii_o to_o inquire_v who_o those_o be_v that_o do_v run_v this_o great_a danger_n they_o who_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o now_o this_o phrase_n of_o eat_v unworthy_o be_v only_o find_v here_o in_o this_o chapter_n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o it_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o the_o fault_n be_v with_o which_o the_o apostle_n charge_v the_o corinthian_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v they_o to_o be_v some_o very_a heinous_a disorder_n that_o have_v creep_v in_o among_o they_o occasion_v by_o their_o lovefeast_n at_o the_o end_n of_o which_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v usual_o celebrate_v which_o disorder_v therefore_o be_v peculiar_a to_o those_o time_n and_o be_v not_o now_o to_o be_v find_v among_o we_o as_o v._o 18._o first_o of_o all_o when_o you_o come_v together_o in_o the_o church_n i_o hear_v that_o there_o be_v

with_o such_o irreverence_n and_o disorder_n do_v they_o behave_v themselves_o at_o the_o lord_n table_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v meet_v at_o a_o common_a feast_n this_o the_o apostle_n call_v

but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o they_o be_v also_o riotous_a and_o intemperate_a in_o these_o lovefeast_n they_o play_v the_o glutton_n and_o be_v drink_v even_o when_o they_o receive_v the_o
