Wherefore, moft dearly beloved in Chrift, take ye good heed, left ye, withdraw ing yourselves from this holy Supper, provoke God's indignation against you. It is an eafy matter for a man to fay, I will not communicate, because I am otherwife hindered with worldly bufinefs. But fuch excufes are not fo eafily accepted, and allowed before God. If any man say, I am a grievous finner, and therefore am afraid to come; wherefore then do ye not repent and amend? When God calleth you, are ye not afhamed to fay, ye will not come? When ye fhould return to God, will ye excufe yourfelves, and fay, ye are not ready? Confider earnestly with yourfelves, how little fuch feigned excufes will avail before God. They who refufed the feaft in the Gospel, because they had bought a farm, or would try their yokes of oxen, or because they married, were not fo excufed, but counted unworthy of the heavenly feast. Wherefore, according to mine Office, I bid you in the Name of God, I call you in Chrift's behalf, I were exhort you, as ye love your own falvation, that ye will be partakers of this Holy Communion. And as the Son of God did vouchfafe to yield up his foul by death upon the crofs, for your falvation; fo it is your duty to receive the Communion in remembrance of the facrifice of his death, as he himfelf hath commanded : Which if ye fhall neglect to do, confider with yourselves, how great is your ingratitude to God, and how fore punish→ ment hangeth over your heads for the fame, when ye wilfully abstain from the Lord's Ta ble, and feparate from your brethren who come to feed on the banquet of that most heavenly food. These things if ye earnestly confider, ye will by God's grace, return to a better mind: for the obtaining whereof we shall not cease to make our humble petitions unto Almighty God, our heavenly Father. ¶ At the time of the celebration of the Communion, the Prieft fhall fay this Exhortation. felves, before they prefume ding he hath obtained for us, to eat of that Bread, and drink he hath inftituted and orof that Cup. For as the be- dained holy Mysteries, as nefit is great, if with a true penitent heart and lively faith we receive that holy Sacrament; fo is the danger great, if we receive the fame unworthily. Judge therefore yourfelves, brethren, that ye be not judged of the Lord; repent ye truly for your fins paft; have a lively and ftedfaft faith in Chrift our Saviour; amend your lives, and be in perfect charity with all men: fo fhall ye be meet partakers of thofe holy Myfteries. And above all things, ye must give most humble and hearty thanks to God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghoft, for the redemption of the world by the death and paffion of our Saviour Chrift, both God and man; who did humble himfelf, even to the death upon the cross, for us miferable finners, who lay in darkness and the fhadow of death that he might make us the children of God, and exalt us to everlasting life. And to the end that we fhould always remember the exceeding great love of our Master and only Saviour Jesus Christ, thus dying for us, and the innumerable benefits which by his precious blood-fhed ; pledges of his love, and for a continual remembrance of his death, to our great and endlefs comfort. To him therefore, with the Father, and the Holy Ghoft, let us give (as we are most bounden) continual thanks; fubmitting ourselves wholly to his holy will and pleasure, and studying to ferve him in true holinefs and righteousness, all the days of our life. Amen.
