In the Office of the Communion of the Sick.
If the same day there be a Celebration of the Holy Communion in the Church;* 1.1 then shall the Priest reserve (at the Open Communion) so much of the Sacrament of CHRIST's Body and Blood, as shall serve the Sick Person; and as Many as shall Communicate with him (if there be any) (fol. cxliv.)
But if any man, either by reason of Extremity of Sickness, or for lack of Warning given in due time to the Curate, or by any other just Impediment do not Receive the Sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood: Then the Curate shall instruct him, that if he do truly Repent him of his Sins, and stedfastly Believe that Jesus Christ has suffer'd Death upon the Cross for him, and shed his Blood for his Re∣demption; Earnestly Remembring the Benefits he has thereby, and giving him hearty Thanks there∣fore:* 1.2 He does Eat and Drink Spiritually the Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ, profitably to his Souls health, although he does not Receive the Sacrament, with his Mouth. (fol. cxlv.)
