Cor. 11.17 and commend not that yee come not together after a better maner but after a woorse For first of all when yee come together in the congregation I heare that there is dissention among you I partly beleeue it For there must be sectes among you that they which are perfect among you may be knowen When yee come together therefore into one place the Lords Supper cannot bee eaten for euery man beginneth afore to cate his owne Supper and one is hungrie and another is drunken Haue yee not houses to eate and drinke in Despise ye the congregation of God and shame them that haue not What shall I say vnto you Shall I prayse you In this I prayse you not That which I deliuered vnto you I receiued of the Lord. For the Lorde Iesus the same night in which he was betrayed tooke bread when he had giuen thankes he brake it and sayd Take ye and eat this is my body which is broken for you This do ye in the remembrance of me After the same maner also hee tooke the cup when supper was done saying This cup is the new Testament in my blood This do as oft as ye drinke it in remembrance of me For as often as yee shall eate this bread and drinke of this cup yee shall shew the Lordes death till hee come Wherefore whosoeuer shall eate of this bread and drinke of this cuppe of the Lord vnworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of the bread and drinke of the cup. For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthily eateth and drinketh his owne damnation because he maketh no difference of the Lords body For this cause many are weak and sicke among you and many sleepe For if we had iudged our selues we should not haue bene iudged But when we are iudged of the Lord we are chastened that we should not be damned with the world Wherefore my brethren when ye come
