Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will
give you rest. _St Matth_. xi. 28.
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. _St John_ iii. 16.
Hear also what Saint Paul saith.
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. 1 _Tim_. i. 15.
Hear also what Saint John saith.
If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins. 1 _St John_
ii. 1, 2.
_Then shall the Presbyter, turning him to the Altar, kneel down,
and say, in the name of all them that shall communicate, this
collect of humble access to the Holy Communion, as followeth_:
We do not presume to come to this thy holy Table, O merciful Lord,
trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great
mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs

_Here the person receiving shall say_, Amen.
_And the Presbyter that receiveth the Cup himself, as likewise

according to the form before prescribed, beginning at the words_,
All glory be to thee, &c., _and ending with the words_, preserved
unto everlasting life. _And the people shall say_, Amen.
_When all have communicated, he that celebrateth shall go to the
Lord's Table, and cover with a fair linen cloth that which remaineth
