THE

COMMUNION OF THE SICK.

Forafmuch as all mortal men are subject to many fudden perils, difeafes, and fickneffes, and ever uncertain what time they shall depart out of this life; therefore, to the intent they may be always in readiness to die, whenfoever it shall please. Almighty God to call them, the Minifters fhall diligently from time to time (but especially in the time of peftilence, or other infectious fickness) exhort their Parishioners to the often receiving of the Holy Communion of the Body and Blood of our Saviour Chrift, when it fhall be publickly adminiftered in the Church; that fo dong, they may, in cafe of fudden vifitation, have the less caule to be difquieted for lack of the fame. But if the fick 1 Perfon be not able to come to the Church, and yet is defirous to receive the Communion in his house; then he must give timely notice to the Minifter, fignifying also how many there are to communicate with him (which shall be two at the leaft ;) and all things neceffary being prepared, the Minister fhall there celebrate the Holy Communion, beginning with the Collect, Epifle, and Gofpel, here following:

A

eth my word, and believeth on him that fent me, hath everlafting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is paffed from death unto life.

After

After which the Minister fhall proceed according to the Form before prefcribed for the Holy Communion, beginning at thefe words, Ye who do truly, &c.

At the time of the diftribution of the Holy Sacrament, the Minifter fball firft receive the Communion himself, and after minifter unto those who are appointed to communicate with the fick, and laft of all to the fick Perfon.

But if a man, either by reason of extremity of fickness, or for want of warning in due time to the Minifter, or for lack of company to receive with him, or by any other juft impediment, do not receive the Sacrament of Chrift's Body and Blood, the Minister shall instruct him, that if he do truly repent him of his fins, and fledfaftly believe that Jefus Chrift bath fuffered death upon the Crofs for him, and fhed his Blood for his redemption, earnestly remembering the benefits be bath thereby, and giving bim hearty thanks therefor, he doth eat and drink the Body and Blood of our Saviour Chrift profitably to his foul's health, although he do not receive the Sacrament with his mouth.

When the fick perfon is vifited and receiveth the Holy Commi nion all at one time, then the Minifter, for more expedition, fball cut off the Form of the Vifitation at the Pfalm, and go Fraight to the Communion.

In the times of contagious fickness or difeafes, when none of the Parifh or Neighbours can be gotten to communicate with the fick in their houfes, for fear of the infection; upon special request of the difeafed, the Minifter alone may communicate with him.
