Of the Communion of the sick.
But if the sick person be not able to come to Church, yet* 1.1 is desirous to receive the Communion in his house, then must he give knowledge over night, or early in the morning to the Curate, and having a convenient place in the sick mans house, he shall there administer the holy Communion.
Considering that many sick persons, either by their ig∣norance* 1.2 or vitious life, without any evident manifestati∣on of repentance, or by the nature of the disease disturbing their intellectuals, be unmeet for receiving the Sacrament: It is proposed that the Minister be not injoyned to admi∣nister the Sacrament to every sick person that shall desire it, but onely as he shall judge expedient.
