THE ORDER FOR THE

Administration of the Lord's Supper,

OR, HOLY COMMUNION. If among those who come to be partakers of the Holy Communion, the Minister shall knoro any to be an open and notorious evil liver, or to have done any wrong to his neighbours by wõrdor deed, so that the Congregation be thereby offended; he shall advertise him, that he presume not to come to the Lord's Table, until he have openly declared himself to have truly repented and amended his former evil life, that the Congregation may thereby be satisfied; and that he hath

recompensed the parties to whom he hath done wrong; or at least declare himself to be in full purpose so to do, as soon as he conveniently may. I The sume order shall the Minister use with those, betwixt whom he perceiveth malice and

hatred to reign; not suffering them to be partakers of the Lord's Table, until he know them to be reconciled. And if one of the parties, so at variance, be. content to forgive from the bottom of his heart all that the other hath trespassed against him, and to make amends for that wherein he himself hath offended; and ihe other party will not be persuaded to a godly unity, but remain still in his frowardness and malice, the Minister in that case ought to admit the penitent person to the Itoly Communion, and not him that is obstinate : Provided, that every Minister so repelling any, as is herein specified, shall be obliged to give an account of the same to the Ordinary, as soon as conveniently may be. 9 The Table, at the Comneunion-time, having a fair white linen cloth upon it, shall stand in

the body of the Church, or in the Chancel; and the Minister, stunding at the north side of the table, or where 'Morning and Evening Prayer are appointed to be said, shall say the Lord's Prayer anıl the Collect following, the people kneeling; but the Lord's Prayer may be omitted, if Morning Prayer hath been said imnediately before.
