Chap. 6. the. 5. Diuision.

T. C. Pag. 116. Lin. 12.

Besides therefore that I haue before shewed the vnlawfulnesse generally of ministring the Sacrament in priuate places, seeing that the custome of ministring thys Supper vnto the sicke, rose vpon corrupte causes and rotten foundations, and consydering also (God be praysed) in these tymes there are non dryuen by feare to renounce the truthe, wherevpon any suche excommunica∣tion should ensue, which in the extremitie of sicknesse should be mitigated after thys sorte (for no man nowe that is in extreme sicknesse, is cast downe, or else assaulted with this temptation, that he is cutte off from the Churche) I saye these things considered, it followeth, that this ministring of Communion in priuate houses, and to the sicke, is vnlawfull, as that whiche rose vpon euill grounds: and if it were lawfull, yet that nowe in these times of peace, and when the sicke are not excōmunicated, there is no vse of it. And so it appeareth how little the custome of the olde Church, dothe helpe M. Doctor in this poynt.

Io. Whitgifte.

This was one cause, but not the only cause why the Communion was ministred to the sicke: the chiefe and principall cause was (as I haue sayde) the frutes and ef∣fectes of that Sacrament, whiche is remission of sinnes, peace of conscience, and ef∣fectuall applying of the death and passion of Christ vnto the Communicants, and an assurance of Gods promises, whereof that sacrament is an effectuall seale.
