of the Lo°de, and the holy Com-
union, commonly cal-
led the Ma±e.
O many as intende to bee partakers of the holy
Communion, ƒhall ƒygnifie their names to the Curate,
ouer night: o° els in the mo°ning, afo°e the beginning of
Matins, o° immediatly after.
And if any of thoƒe be an open and noto°ious euill
liuer, ƒo that the congregacion by hym is offended, o° haue doen any
w°ong to his neighbours, by wo°de, o° dede: The Curate ƒhall call
hym, & aduertiƒe hym, in any wiƒe not to p°eƒume to the lo°des table,
vntill he haue openly declared hymƒelfe, to haue truly repented, and
amended his fo°mer naughtie life: that the congregacion maie thereby
be ƒatiƒfied, whiche afo°e were offended: and that he haue recompenƒed
the parties, whom he hath dooen wrong vnto, o° at the lea¥ bee in full
purpoƒe ƒo to doo, as ƒone as he conueniently maie.
The ƒame o°d°e ƒhall the Curate vƒe, with thoƒe betwixt whom he
perceiueth malice, and hatred to reigne, not ƒuffering them to bee
partakers of the Lo°des table, vntill he knowe them to bee reconciled.
And yf one of the parties ƒo at variaunce, be content to fo°geue from
the botome of his harte all that the other hath treƒpaced again¥ hym,
and to make amendes fo° that he hymƒelf hath offended: and the other
partie will not bee perƒwaded to a godly vnitie, but remaigne ¥ill in
his frowardues and malice: The Mini¥er in that caƒe, ought to
admit the penitent perƒone to the holy Communion, and not hym that
is ob¥inate.
Upon the date, and at the tyme appoincted fo° the mini¥racion of
the holy Communion, the P°ie¥ that ƒhal execute the holy mini¥ery,
ƒhall put vpon hym the ve¥ure appoincted fo° that mini¥racion, that
is to ƒaye: a white Albe plain, with a ve¥ement o° Cope. And where
there be many P°ie¥es, o° Decons, there ƒo many ƒhalbe ready to
helpe the P°ie¥, in the mini¥racion, as ƒhalbee requiƒite: And ƒhall
haue vpon them lykewiƒe, the ve¥ures appointed fo° their mini¥ery,
that is to ƒaye, Albes with tunacles. Then ƒhall the Clerkes ƒyng in
Engliƒhe fo° the office, o° Introite, (as they call it) a Pƒalme appointed
fo° that daie.
