Of the Order for the Visitation of the Sick.

Rubr. Before Absolution.

HEre shall the sick person make a special Confession, &c. after which Confession the Priest shall absolve him after this sort: Our Lord Jesus Christ, &c. and by his Authority com∣mitted to mee I absolve thee.

Exception.

Forasmuch as the Conditions of sick persons be very various and different, the Minister may not on∣ly in the Exhortation but in the Prayer also be directed to apply himself to the particular condition of the person▪ as he shall finde most suitable to the present occasion, with due regard had both to his spiritual condition and bodily weakness, and that the absolution may only be re∣commended to the Minister to be used or omitted as he shall see occasion.

That the form of Absolution be Declarative & Conditional, as [I pronounce thee absolved] instead of [I absolve thee] if thou doest truly repent & believe.
