ne to be consecrated_.

_Then shall the Minister first receive the Communion in both kinds
himself, and then proceed to deliver the same to the Bishops,
Priests, and Deacons, in like manner, (if any be present,) and
after that to the people also in order, into their hands, all
meekly kneeling. And, when he delivereth the Bread to any one,
he shall say_,

The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was given for thee,
preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life: Take and eat
this in remembrance that Christ died for thee, and feed on him
in thy heart by faith with thanksgiving.

_And the Minister that delivereth the Cup to any one shall say_,

The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, which was shed for thee,
preserve thy body and soul unto everlasting life: Drink this in
remembrance that Christ's Blood was shed for thee, and be thankful.

| _When it is thought desirable to shorten the words of_
| _administration on Christmas-day Easter-day, and Whitsunday, or_
| _on special occasions approved by the Bishop, or in the case_
| _of the pressure caused by large and unexpected numbers, the_
| _Priest, having first said the whole words of administration_
| (_in the singular number_) _once for all the communicants, may_
| _use the first half of each form in communicating individuals_.

_If the consecrated Bread or Wine be all spent before all have
communicated, the Priest is to consecrate more according to the
Form before prescribed: Beginning at_ [Our Saviour Christ in the
same night, &c.] _for the blessing of the Bread: and at_ [Likewise
after Supper, &c.] _for the blessing of the Cup_.

_When all have communicated, the Minister shall return to the
Lord's Table, and reverently place upon it what remaineth of
the consecrated Elements, covering the same with a fair linen
cloth_.

_Then shall the Priest say the Lord's Prayer, the people
repeating after him every petition_.

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom
come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us
this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we
forgive them that trespass against us; And lead us not into
temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

_After shall be said as followeth_.

O Lord and heavenly Father, we thy humble servants entirely
desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our
sacrifice of praise and thanks
