ng to the form before
prescribed for the holy Communion, beginning at these words_ [Ye
that do truly, &c.], p. 316.

_At the time of the distribution of the holy Sacrament, the Priest
shall first receive the Communion himself, and after minister unto
them that are appointed to communicate with the sick; and last of
all to the sick person_.

_But if a man, either by reason of extremity of sickness, or for
want of warning in due time to the Curate, or for lack of company
to receive with him, or by any other just impediment, do not receive
the Sacrament of Christ's Body and Blood: the Curate shall instruct
him that if he do truly repent him of his sins, and stedfastly
believe that Jesus Christ hath suffered death upon the Cross for
him, and shed his Blood for his redemption, earnestly remembering
the benefits he hath thereby, and giving him hearty thanks therefor;
he doth eat and drink the Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ
profitably to his soul's health, although he do not receive the
Sacrament with his mouth_.

_When the sick person is visited and receiveth the holy Communion
all at one time, then the Priest, for more expedition, shall cut
off the form of the Visitation at the Psalm_ [In thee, O Lord, have
I put my trust] _and go straight to the Communion_.

_In the time of the plague, sweat, or such other like contagious
times of sickness or diseases, when none of the Parish or neighbours
can be gotten to communicate with the sick in their houses, for
fear of the infection, upon special request of the diseased, the
Minister may only communicate with him_.

THE ORDER FOR

THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD

_Here is to be noted, that the Office ensuing is not to be used for
any that die unbaptized, or excommunicate, or have laid violent
hands upon themselves_.

_The Priest and Clerks meeting the corpse at the entrance of
the Church-yard, and going before it, either into the Church,
or towards the grave, shall say, or sing_:

I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and
whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. _St John_
xi. 25, 26.

I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the
latter day upon the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy
this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for
myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. _Job_ xix.
25, 26, 27.
