2 Corinthians — Chapter 7
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. Sorie to penance.) Contrition for a man's sinne worketh saluation. The sorrow which is a man taketh for worldly losses or any temporal aduersarie, is not here commended, but that which is & ought to be in al men for their sinnes past, which is called here, Sorrow towards God & for penance, otherwise called Contrition, & is a thing exceedingly requisit & much praised, the fruits whereof are these that the Apostle reckneth, working saluation. Which doctrine is farre distant from *Luther's, and Caluin's, and such wicked Libertines, that teach contrition to be altogether a meanes to make sinners either hypocrites, or to put them in dispaire. *To. 2. in assert. art. 6. a Leone damnat.
