1 Corinthians — Chapter 12
These annotations are from the original 1582 Rheims New Testament, produced by English scholars in exile at the English College of Rheims. The archaic spelling is preserved.
This content was digitized from the original 1609 Douay (Old Testament) and 1582 Rheims (New Testament) print editions by OCR. The OCR process sometimes confused print page numbers with verse numbers, and may have assigned annotations to the wrong chapter. Chapter and verse labels on this page reflect the OCR output from the original print pagination and may not correspond to canonical Scripture chapter/verse numbers. For canonical reference, consult a standard Douay-Rheims edition. The annotation texts themselves are authentic 1609/1582 Douay-Rheims content.
Verse 9
9. Faith in the same.] Zealous faith. This faith is not another in substance then the common faith in Christ, but is of another accidental qualitie only, that is, of more feruour, deuotion, zeale and confident trust, specially for doing of miracles.
Verse 15
15. If the foot.) Vnitie. The Church is of exceeding great distinction of members, guifts, orders, and offices: yet of great concord, concurrence, mutual communion and participation, in al actions of her members among themselues, and with Christ the head of the body.
Verse 21
21. Schisme in the body.) Schisme. As Charitie and vnitie of spirit, is the proper bond and weale of the common Body: so is diuision or schisme, which is the interruption of peace and mutual Societie between the parts of the same, the special plague of the Church, and as odious to God as rebellion to the temporal Soueraigne.
