Thefecond example obie6led is ofthe Corinthians. From§.Seel IO. 'which they thusconclude: The exampleof All theCorinthians were indued with true faith, iuflified the corintbi- ans. and fan&ified Butforce oftheCorinthians loft their faith,and fell from grace,for theycómitted fins which ouerthrow faith,and deflroy the confeience, as namelie, they hued in drun- kenneffe, they maintained fornication, they_deniedthe refurrecrlion, &c.
