Io. Whitgifte.

I will Answere you as M. Caluine answered the Anabaptists obiecting the same* 1.1 place of S. Paule. 1. Cor. 5. in effect to the same ende and purpose, that the Authors of the Admonition doe, & vsing the like collection that you doe in this place. But wheras (sayth he) Paule doth forbid to eate, with those that lyue dissolutely, that perteyneth to priuate conuersation, not to the publike Communion, but some will saye: if it be not lawfull for a Christian man to keepe company with him that is wicked for corporall meate, much lesse may he receyue with them the Lords bread. I answere that it is in our power, whether we will be familiarly conuersant with the wicked, or no, and therefore euery one ought to flye from them: But it is not so in our power to receyue the Communion, or not to receyue it, therefore the reason is not all one, we must therfore note, that if the Churche do tollerate and suffer an vnworthy man, he shall do well, that (knowing him to be suche a one) doth abstayne from his companie as muche as he can: so that his dooing make no schisme or separation in the Churche. This I speake onely touching the true vnder∣standing of that place of S. Paul to the Corinthians: and not bicause I would haue the Churche to suffer any suche notorious offendours to receyue the Communion.
