  Speaker 1: Holy Communion from the Book of Common Prayer sixteen sixty two.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Recording by
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Michael Maggs. The Order for the administration of the Lord's
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Supper or Holy Communion, so many as intend to be
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: partakers of the Communion shall signify their names to the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Curate at least some time the day before. And if
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: any of those be an open and notorious evil liver,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: or have done any wrong to his neighbors by word
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: or deed, so that the congregation be hereby offended, the Curate,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: having knowledge thereof, shall call him and advertise him that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: in any wise he presumed not to come to the
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Lord's table until he has openly declared himself to have
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: truly repented and amended his former naughty life, that the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: congregation may thereby be satisfied which before were offended, and
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that he has recompensed the parties to whom he has
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: done wrong, or at least declare himself to be in
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: full purpose so to do as soon as he conveniently may.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: The same order, shall the Curate use with those betwixt
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: whom he perceiveth malice and hatred to reign not suffering
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: them to be partakers of the Lord's table until he
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: knows them to be reconciled. And if one of the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: parties so at variance, be content to forgive from the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: bottom of his heart, all that the other hath trespassed
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: against him, and to make amends for that he himself
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: hath offended. And the other party will not be persuaded
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to a godly unity, but remains still in his frowardness
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and malice. The minister in that case ought to admit
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the penitent person to the Holy Communion, and not him
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: that is obstinate, provided that every minister so repelling any
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: as is specified in this or the next precedent paragraph
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of this rubric, shall be obliged to give an account
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: of the same to the Ordinary within fourteen days after
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: at the farthest and the Ordinary shall proceed against the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: offending person according to the cannon. The table at the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: communion time, having a fair white linen cloth upon it,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: shall stand in the body of the church or in
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the chancel where morning and evening prayer are appointed to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: be said, and the priest standing at the north side
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of the table shall say the Lord's prayer with the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: collect following the people kneeling, our Father, which art in heaven,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom. Come, Thy will be
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: this day our daily bread, and forgive us our treuspasses,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: as we forgive them that trespass against us, And lead
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the collect Almighty God, unto whom all hearts be open,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: worthily magnify Thy holy name through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Then shall the minister, turning to the people, rehearse distinctly
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: all the ten commandments, and the people, still kneeling, shall,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: after each commandment, ask God mercy for their transgressions thereof
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the time past, and grace to keep the same for
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the time to come. As follow us. Minister God spake
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: these words and said, I am the Lord, thy God.
• 3:53

• 4:01
  Speaker 1: this law. Minister, thou shalt not make to thyself any

  Speaker 1: graven image, nor the likeness of anything that is in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: heaven above, or in the earth beneath, or in the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down to them,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: nor worship them. For I, the Lord thy God, am
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a jealous God. And visit the sins of the fathers
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: upon the children, upon the third and fourth generation of
• 4:27

• 4:31

  Speaker 1: the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou

  Speaker 1: shalt do no manner of work. Thou and thy son,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maid servant, thy
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: cattle and the stranger that is within thy gates. For
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in six days the Lord made heaven and us the sea,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Wherefore the Lord blessed the seventh day and hallowed it. People,

• 5:40
  Speaker 1: keep this law. Minister, honor thy father and thy mother,

  Speaker 1: cover thy neighbour's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: nor his ox, nor his ass nor anything that is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: his people. Lord, have mercy upon us, and write these
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: thy laws in our hearts. We beseech THEE then shall
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: follow one of these two collects for the King the priest,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: standing as before and saying, let us pray, Almighty God,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: His kingdom is everlasting and power infinite. Have mercy upon
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the whole Church, and so rule the heart of thy
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: chosen servant, George, our King and Governor, that he, knowing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: whose minister he is, may above all things seek Thy
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: honor and glory, and that we and all his subjects, duly,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: considering whose authority he has, may faithfully serve honor and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: humbly obey him in thee and for thee, according to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Thy blessed word and ordinance. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: who with THEE and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: ever one God world without end Amen, or Almighty and
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Everlasting God. We are taught by thy Holy Word that
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the hearts of kings are in thy rule and governance,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: and that thou dost dispose and turn them as it
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: seemeth best to Thy godly wisdom. We humbly beseech THEE
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: so to dispose and govern the heart of George, thy servant,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: our king and Governor, that in all his thoughts, words
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and works he may seek Thy honor and glory and
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: study to preserve thy people committed to his charge in wealth,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: peace and godliness. Grant this, O, most merciful Father, for
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: thy dear son's sake, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Then

• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the epistle is written in the blank chapter of blank,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: beginning at the blank verse, and the epistle ended. He
• 9:01

• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the Gospel. The people all standing up, saying the Holy
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Gospel is written in the blank chapter of blank, beginning
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: at the blank verse, and the Gospel ended, shall be
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: sung or said the creed following the people still standing
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: as before, I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: and invisible, And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: God of God, Light of light, very God of very,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: God begotten, not made, being of one substance with the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Father by whom all things were made, who for us
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: men and for our salvation, came down from heaven and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and was made man, and was crucified also for us
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: under ponstious pilate. He suffered and was buried. And the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: third day he rose again, according to the scriptures, and
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: ascend us into heaven and sitteth on the right hand
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of the Father. And he shall come again with glory
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to judge both the quick and the dead, whose kingdom
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the Lord and giver of life, who proceedeth from the
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Father and the Son, who with the Father and the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Son together is worshiped and glorified, who spake by the prophets.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And I believe one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins, and I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: look for the resurrection of the dead and the life
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: of the world to come. Amen. Then the curate shall
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: declare unto the people what holy days or fasting days
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: are in the week following to be observed. And then also,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: if occasion be shall notice be given of the communion
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: and the bonds of matrimony published, and briefs, citations and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: excommunications read. And nothing shall be proclaimed or published in

• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the sermon or one of the homilies set forth or

  Speaker 1: hereafter to be set forth by authority. Then shall the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: priest return to the Lord's table and begin the offertreary,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: saying one or more of these sentences, following as he
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: thinketh most convenient in his discretion. Let your light so
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: shine before men, that they may see your good works
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and glorify your Father, which is in heaven, Saint Matthew five,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: verse sixteen. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: where mos and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: through in steel. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: where neither mos nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: do not break through nor steel. Saint Matthew six verses
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty. Whatsoever ye would do that men should do

• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord Lord, shall

• 13:10
  Speaker 1: any wrong to any man, I restore fourfold Saint Luke

• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of his own cost, who plant us a vineyard and
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: eateth not of the fruit thereof, or who feedeth a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: flock and eateth not of the milk of the flock.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: One Corinthians nine, verse seven. If we have sown unto
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: you spiritual things, is it a great matter if we
• 13:40

• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Do ye not know that they who minister about holy
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: things live of the sacrifice, And they who wait at
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the altar, all partake as with the altar. Even so
• 13:58

• 14:02
  Speaker 1: gospel should live of the Gospel. One Corinthians nine, verses
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen. He that soeth little shall reap little,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and he that soeth plenteously shall reap plenteously. Let every

• 15:00
  Speaker 1: verse ten. Godliness is great riches, if a man be

• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and to distribute forget not, for with such sacrifices God

  Speaker 1: live in unity and godly love. We beseech THEE also
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: to save and defend all Christian kings, princes and governors,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and especially thy servant George, our King, that under him
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: we may be godly and quietly governed. And grant unto

  Speaker 1: authority under Him, that they may truly and indifferently minister
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: justice to the punishment of wickedness and vice, and to

  Speaker 1: THEE of Thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succor
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: all of them who, in this transitory life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness,

  Speaker 1: name for all Thy servants departed this life in Thy
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: faith and fear beseeching THEE to give us grace so
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to follow their good examples, that with them we may

  Speaker 1: His meritorious cross and passion, whereby alone we obtain remission
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: of our sins and are made partakers of the Kingdom
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: of Heaven. Wherefore it is our duty to render most
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: for that he has given his son, our Savior, Jesus Christ,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: not only to die for us, but also to be
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: our spiritual food and sustenance in that holy sacrament, which,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: being so divine and comfortable a thing to them who
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: receive it worthily, and so dangerous to them that will
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: presume to receive it unworthily. My duty is to exhort you,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: in the mean season to consider the dignity of that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: holy mystery and the great peril of the unworthy receiving thereof,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and so to search and examine your own consciences, and
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that not lightly and after the manner of dissemblers with God,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: so that ye may come holy and clean to such
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: a heavenly feast. In the marriage garment required by God
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in holy scripture, and be received as worthy partakers of
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: that holy table. The way and means thereto is first
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to examine your lives and conversations by the rule of
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: God's commandments, and wheresoever ye shall perceive yourselves to have offended,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: either by will, word or deed, there to bewall your
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: own sinfulness, and to confess yourselves to Almighty God with
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: full purpose of amendment of life. And if ye shall
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: perceive your offenses to be such as are not only
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: against God, but also against your neighbors, then ye shall
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: reconcile yourselves unto them, being ready to make restitution and
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: satisfaction according to the utmost of your powers, for all
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: injuries and wrongs done by you to any other, and
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: being likewise ready to forgive others who have offended you,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: as you would have forgiveness of your offenses at God's hand,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: For otherwise the receiving of the Holy communion doth nothing
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: else but increase your damnation. Therefore, if any of you
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: be a blasphemer of God, an hinderer or slanderer of
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: His word, an adulterer, or be in malice or envy
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: or in any other grievous crime, repent you of your sins,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: or else come not to that holy table, lest after
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: taking of that holy sacrament, the devil enter into you
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: as he entered into judice, and fill you full of
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: all iniquities, and bring you to destruction, both of body
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and soul. And because it is requisite that no man
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: should come to the Holy Communion but with a full
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: trust in God's mercy and with a quiet conscience. Therefore,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: if there be any of you who, by this means
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: cannot quiet his own conscience herein, but requires further comfort
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: or counsel, let him come to me or to some
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: other discreet and learned minister of God's Word, and open
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: his grief, that by the ministry of God's Holy Word
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: he may receive the benefit of absolution, together with ghostly counsel,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: and advice that the quieting of his conscience and avoiding
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: of all scruple and doubtfulness. Or in case he shall
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: see the people negligent come to the Holy Communion instead
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: of the former, he may use this exultation, dearly beloved brethren,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: on blank I intend, by God's grace to celebrate the
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Lord's supper unto which, in God's behalf, I bid you,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: all that are here present, and beseech you, for the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus Christ's sake, that ye will not refuse to
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: come there, too, being so lovingly called and bidden by
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: God himself. Ye know how grievous and unkind a thing
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: it is. When a man hath prepared a rich feast,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: decked his table with all kind of provision, so that
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: there lack is nothing but the guests to sit down,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And yet they who are called without any cause, most
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: unthankfully refuse to come. Which of you in such a
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: case would not be moved, who would not think it
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a great injury and wrong done unto him? Wherefore, most
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: dearly beloved in Christ, take ye good heed, lest ye,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: withdrawing yourselves from this holy Supper, provoke God's indignation against you.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: It is an easy matter for a man to say,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I will not communicate because I am otherwise hindered with
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: worldly business. But such excuses are not so easily accepted
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and alowed before God. If any man say, I am
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: a grievous sinner, and therefore I am afraid to come,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: wherefore then do ye not repent and amend. When God
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: calleth you, are ye not ashamed to say ye will
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: not come. When ye should return to God, will ye
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: excuse yourselves and say ye are not ready. Consider earnestly
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: with yourselves, how little such feigned excuses will avail before God.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: They that refuse the feast in the Gospel because they
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: have bought a farm, or would try their yokes of oxen,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: or because they were married, were not so excused, but
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: counted unworthy of the heavenly feast. I for my part
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: shall be ready, and according to mine office, I bid
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: you in the name of God. I call you in
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Christ's behalf. I exhort you, as ye love your own salvation,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that ye will be partakers of this holy communion. And
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: as the Son of God did vouchsafe to yield up
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: his soul by death upon the cross for your salvation,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: so it is your duty to receive the communion in
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: remembrance of the sacrifice of his death, as He himself
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: has commanded, which if ye shall neglect to do, consider
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: with yourselves, how great injury ye do unto God, and
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: how sore punishment hangeth over your heads for the same.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: When ye wilfully abstain from the Lord's table, and separate
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: from your brethren who come to feed on the banquet
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of that most heavenly food. These things, if ye earnestly consider,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: ye will, by God's grace, return to a better mind
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: for the obtaining whereof we shall not cease to make
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: our humble petitions unto Almighty God, our Heavenly Father. At
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the time of the celebration of the communion, the communicants
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: being conveniently placed for the receiving of the Holy sacrament,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: the priest shall say this exhortation, Dearly Beloved in the Lord,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: ye that mind to come to the holy communion of
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the body and blood of our Savior Jesus Christ. Must
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: consider how Saint Paul exhort us all persons diligently to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: try and examine themselves before they presume to eat of
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that bread and drink of that cup, For as the
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: benefit is great, if with a true penitent heart and
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: lively face we receive that holy sacrament, For then we
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: spiritually eat the flesh of Christ and spiritually drink His blood,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: then we dwell in Christ and Christ in us. We
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: are one with Christ and Christ with us. So is
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the danger great if we receive the same unworthily, for
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: then we are guilty of the body and blood of Christ,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: our Savior. We eat and drink our own damn nation.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Not considering the Lord's body, we kindle God's wrath against us.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: We provoke him to plague us with divers diseases and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: sundry kinds of death. Judge therefore yourselves, brethren, that ye
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: be not judged of the Lord. Repent you truly for
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: your sins past, Have a lively and steady fast faith
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: in Christ our Savior. Amend your lives, and be imperfect
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: charity with all men. So shall ye be meet partakers
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: of those holy mysteries. And above all things ye must
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: give most humble and hearty thanks to God, the Father,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the Son, and the Holy Ghost for the redemption of
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the world by the death and passion of our Savior,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, both God and Man, who did humble himself
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: even to the death upon the cross for us miserable
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: sinners who lay in darkness and the shadow of death,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: that He might make us the children of God and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: exalt us to everlasting life, and to the end that
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: we should always remember the exceeding great love of our
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Master and only Savior, Jesus Christ, thus dying for us
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and the innumerable benefits which by his death precious blood
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: shedding he has obtained to us. He has instituted and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: ordained holy mysteries as pledges of his love and for
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: a continual remembrance of his death, to our great and
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: endless comfort to him. Therefore, with the Father and the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost, let us give, as we are most abandoned,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: continual thanks, submitting ourselves wholly to His holy will and pleasure,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: and studying to serve Him in true holiness and righteousness
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: all the days of our life. Amen. Then shall the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: priest say to them that come to receive the Holy communion,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Ye that do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: and are in love and charity with your neighbors, and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: intend to lead a new life, following the commandments of God,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and walking from henceforth in His holy ways, all near
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: with faith. And take this holy sacrament to your comfort,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and make your humble confession to Almighty God, meekly kneeling
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: upon your knees. Then shall this general confession be made
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: in the name of all those that are minded to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: receive the Holy Communion by one of the ministers, both
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: he and all the people kneeling humbly upon their knees
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: and saying, Almighty God, Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Maker of all things, Judge of all men. We acknowledge
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we, from
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and deed against Thy divine majesty, provoking most justly Thy
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. The remember of
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon us, most Merciful Father,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: for thy son, our Lord, Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: all that is past, and grant that we may hereafter
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: serve THEE and please THEE in newness of life, to
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the honor and glory of Thy name, through Jesus Christ,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Our Lord. Amen. Then shall the priest or Bishop, being present,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: stand up and turning himself to the people, pronounce this absolution,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that, with
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him. Have mercy
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. Then
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: shall the priests say, hear what comfortable words our Savior
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Christ sayeth unto all that truly turn to him. Come
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: unto me, all that travail and are heavy laden, and
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I will refresh you. Saint Matthew eleven, verse twenty eight.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: So God loved the world that he gave his only
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: begotten son to the end that all that believe in
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Saint John three,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: verse sixteen. Here also what Saint Paul sayeth. This is
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: a true saying and worthy of all men to be received,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: One Timothy one, verse fifteen. Here also what Saint John sayeth,
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ the Righteous, and he is a propitiation for
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: our sins once John two, verse one, after which the
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: priest shall proceed saying, lift up your hearts. Answer, we
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: lift them up unto the Lord. Priest, let us give
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: thanks unto the Lord our God. Answer, it is meet
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and right so to do. Then shall the priest turn
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: to the Lord's table and say, it is very meet,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: right and our bound and duty that we should, at
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: all times and in all places give thanks unto thee
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: O Lord, Holy Father. Asterisk. These words Holy Father, must
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: be omitted on Trinity Sunday, Almighty Everlasting God. Here shall
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: follow the proper preface according to the time. If there
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: be any specially a pointed or else, immediately shall follow. Therefore,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: with angels and arch angels, and with all the company
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: of Heaven, we Lord and magnify Thy glorious name evermore,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: praising thee and saying, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of Hosts,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Heaven and Earth are full of thy glory. Glory be
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to thee O Lord, most High Amen. Proper prefaces upon
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Christmas Day and seven days after. Because thou didst give
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ Thine only son to be born, as at
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: this time for us, who by the operation of the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: Holy Ghost was made very man of the substance of
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the Virgin Mary his mother, and that without spot of sin,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to make us clean from all sin. Therefore, with angels
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: et cetera upon Easter Day and seven days after. But
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: chiefly are we bound to praise thee for the glorious
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: resurrection of thy son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, for he
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: is a very passional lamb which was offered for us
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: and has taken away the sin of the world, who
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: by his death hath destroyed death, and by his rising
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: to life again hath restored to us ever lasting life. Therefore,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: with angels et cetera upon Ascension Day and seven days after,
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: through thy most dearly beloved son, Jesus Christ, our Lord,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: who after his most glorious resurrection, manifestly appeared to all
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: his apostles, and in their sight ascended up into heaven
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: to prepare a place for us, that where he is
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: thither we might also ascend and reign with him in glory. Therefore,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: with angels et cetera upon Whitsunday and six days after,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: through Jesus Christ, our Lord, according to whose most true
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: promise the Holy Ghost came down as at this time
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: from Heaven with a sudden, great sound, as it had
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: been a mighty wind, in the likeness of fiery tongues,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: lighting upon the apostles, to teach them and to lead
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: them to all truth, giving them both the gift of
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: diverse languages, and also boldness with fervent zeal constantly to
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: preach the Gospel to all nations. Whereby we have been
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: brought out of darkness and error into the clear light
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: and true knowledge of Thee and of thy Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: with angels et cetera, upon the feast of Trinity, only
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: who art one God, one Lord, not only one person,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: but three persons in one substance. For that which we
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: believe of the glory of the Father, the same we
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: believe of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, without
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: any difference or inequality. Therefore, with angels et cetera, after
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: each of which prefaces shall immediately be sung or said. Therefore,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: with angels and arch angels, and with all the company
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: of Heaven, we Lord and magnify Thy holy name ever more,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: praising Thee and saying, Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of hosts,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Heaven and Earth are full of Thy glory. Glory be
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: to thee O, Lord Most High. Amen. Then shall the priest,
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: kneeling down at the Lord's table, say, in the name
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: of all them that shall receive the communion, this prayer following.
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: We do not presume to come to this thy table,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: as to gather up the crumbs under thy table. But
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: thou art the same Lord. His property is always to
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: have mercy. Grant us therefore, Gracious Lord, so to eat
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the flesh of thy dear son, Jesus Christ, and to
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: clean by his body, and our souls washed through his
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: him and he in us. Amen. When the priest standing
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: before the table hath so ordered the bread and wine,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: that he may, with the more readiness and decency, break
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: the bread before the people, and take the cup into
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: his hands, he shall say the prayer of consecration as followeth,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of thy tender mercy
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: didst give thine only son Jesus Christ, to suffer death
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: on the cross for our redemption, who made there by
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: his one oblation of himself, once offered a full, perfect
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: and sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction for the sins of
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: the whole world, and did institute and in his holy
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: gospel command us to continue a perpetual memory of that
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: his precious death until his coming again. Hear are so
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: merciful Father, We most humbly beseech thee and grant that
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: we receiving these thy creatures of bread and wine according
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: to thy son, our Savior, Jesus Christ's holy institution, in
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: remembrance of his death and passion, may be partakers of
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: his most blessed body and blood, who in the same
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: night that he was betrayed, took bread. Note Here the
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: priest is to take the pattern into his hands, and
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: when he had given thanks, he breake it. Note and
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: here to break the bread and gave it to his disciples, saying,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: take eat. This is my body which is given for you.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Note and here to lay his hand upon all the bread.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Do this in remembrance of me. Likewise, after supper he
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: took the cup. Note here he is to take the
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: cup into his hand, and when he had given thanks,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: he gave it to them, saying, drink he all of this,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: for this is my blood of the New Testament. Note.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: And here to lay his hand upon every vessel, be
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: it chalice or flagon, in which there is any wine
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: to be consecrated, which is shed for you and for many,
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: for the remission of sins. Do this as often as
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: you drink it in remembrance of me. Amen. Then shall
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: the minister first receive the communion in both kinds himself,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: and then proceed to deliver the same to the bishops, priests,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: and deacons in like manner, if any be present, and

  Speaker 1: beseech thee Almighty God that the words which we have

• 52:04
  Speaker 1: mercifully to incline Thine ears to us that have made

  Speaker 1: necessity and to the setting forth of Thy glory through

  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen upon the Sundays und other
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: holy days. If there be no communion, shall be said
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: all that is appointed at the communion until the end
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: of the general prayer for the whole state of Christ's
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Church militant here in Earth, together with one or more
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: of these collaques, last before rehearsed, concluding with the blessing.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: And there shall be no celebration of the Lord's Supper,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: except there be a convenient number to communicate with the
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: priest according to his discretion. And if there be not
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: above twenty persons in the parish of discretion to receive
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: the communion, yet there shall be no communion except four
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: or three at the least communicate with the priest. And
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: in cathedrals, in collegiate churches and colleges, where there are
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: many priests and deacons, they shall all receive the communion
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: with the priest every Sunday at the least, except they
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: have a reasonable cause to the contrary, and to take
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: away all occasion of dissension and superstition which any person
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: hath or might have concerning the bread and wine, it
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: shall suffice that the bread be such as is usual
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: to be eaten, but the best and purest wheat bread
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: that conveniently may be gotten. And if any of the
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: bread and wine remain unconsecrated, the Curate shall have it
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: to his own use. But if any remain of that
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: which was consecrated, it shall not be carried out of
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: the church. But the priest and such other of the
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: communicants as he shall then call to him, shall immediately
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: after the blessing reverently eat and drink the same. The
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: bread and wine for the communion shall be provided by
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: the Curate and the churchwardens at the charge of the parish.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: And note that every parishioner shall communicate at the least
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: three times in the year of which Easter to be won,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and yearly at Easter, every parishioner shall reckon with the parson,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: vicar or curate, or his or their deputy or deputies,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: and pay to them or him all ecclesiastical duties accustomably
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: due then and at that time to be paid. After
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: the divine service ended. The money given at the offer
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: tree shall be disposed of to such pious and charitable
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: uses as the the minister and churchwardens shall think fit,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: wherein if they disagree, it shall be disposed of as
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: the ordinary shall appoint. Whereas it is ordained in this
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: office for the administration of the Lord's Supper, that the
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: communicants should receive the same kneeling, which order is well
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: meant for a signification of our humble and grateful acknowledgment
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: of the benefits of Christ therein given to all worthy receivers,
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: and for the avoiding of such profanation and disorder in
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: the Holy Communion as might otherwise ensue. Yet less to
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: the same kneeling should by any persons, either out of
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: ignorance and infirmity, or out of malice and obstinacy, be
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: misconstrued and depraved. It is here declared that thereby no
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: adoration is intended or ought to be done, either unto
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: the sacramental bread or wine their bodily received, or unto
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: any corporeal presence of Christ's natural flesh and blood. For
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: the sacramental bread and wine remain still in their very
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: natural substances, and therefore may not be adored. For that
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: were idolatry to be abhorred of all faithful Christians, and
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the natural body and blood of our Savior Christ, are
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: in heaven and not here, it being against the truth
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: of Christ's natural body to be at one time in
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: more places than one, and of holy communion. From the
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Book of Common Prayer sixteen sixty two.
