ADMINISTRATION OF THE LORD'S SUPPER,

OR

HOLY COMMUNION.

ISO many as intend to be partakers of the holy Communion shall signify their names to the Curate, at least some time the day before.

¶ And if any of those be an open and notorious evil liver, or have done any wrong to his neighbours by word or deed, so that the Congregation be thereby offended; the Curate, having knowledge thereof, shall call him and advertise him, that in any wise he presume not to come to the Lord's Table, until he hath openly declared himself to have truly repented and amended his former naughty life, that the Congregation may thereby be satisfied, which before were offended; and that he hath recompensed the parties, to whom he hath done wrong; or at least declare himself to be in full purpose so to do, as soon as he conveniently may.

The same order shall the Curate use with those betwixt whom he perceiveth malice and hatred to reign; not suffering them to be partakers of the Lord's Table, until he know them to be reconciled. And if one of the parties so at variance be content to forgive from the bottom of his heart all that the other hath trespassed against him, and to make amends for that he himself hath offended; and the other party will not be persuaded to a godly unity, but remain still in his frowardness and malice: the Minister in that case ought to admit the penitent person to the holy Communion, and not him that is obstinate. Provided that every Minister so repelling any, as is specified in this, or the next precedent Paragraph of this Rubrick, shall be obliged to give an account of the same to the Ordinary within fourteen days after at the farthest. And the Ordinary shall proceed against the offending person according to the Canon.

¶ The Table, at the Communion-time having a fair white linen cloth upon it, shall stand in the Body of the Church, or in the Chancel, where Morning and Evening Prayer are appointed to be said. And the Priest standing at the North-side of the Table shall say the Lord's Prayer, with the Collect following, the people kneeling,

UR Father which art in hea- | beneath, or in the water under the UI ven, Hallowed be thy Name | earth. Thou fhalt not bow down Thy kingdom come. Thy will be to them, nor worship them: for I done in earth, As it is in heaven. the Lord thy God am a jealous Give us this day our daily bread. God, and vifit the fins of the faAnd forgive us our trefpaffes, As thers upon the children, unto the we forgive them that trespass a- third and fourth generation of them gainst us. And lead us not into that hate me, and fhew mercy untemptation; But deliver us from to thousands in them that love me, evil. Amen. and keep my commandments.

The Collect.

A LMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts be open, all defires known, and from whom no fecrets are hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

¶Then shall the Priest, turning to the people, rehearse

distinctly all the TEN COMMANDMENTS;

and the people still kneeling shall, after every Com

mandment, ask God mercy for their transgression

thereof for the time past, and grace to keep the
same for the time to come, as followeth.

Thou shalt have none other gods

but me.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Minifter. Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven image, nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or in the earth

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Minifter. Thou halt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltlefs, that taketh his Name in vain.

People. Lord, have mercy upon us, and incline our hearts to keep this law.

Minifter. Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath-day. Six days fhalt thou labour, and do all that thou haft to do; but the feventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou, and thy fon, and thy daughter, thy manfervant, and thy maid-servant, thy cattle, and the stranger that is within thy gates. For in fix days the Lord made heaven and earth, the fea, and all that in them is, and refted the seventh day wherefore the Lord bleffed the feventh day, and hallowed it.

People. Lord, have mercy upon
