| _Two other prayers_. | | O almighty Father, wellspring of life to all things that have | being, from amid the unwearied praises of Cherubim and Seraphim | who stand about thy throne of light which no man can approach | unto, give ear, we humbly beseech thee, to the supplications of | thy people who put their sure trust in thy mercy, through Jesus | Christ our Lord. _Amen_. (_From the_ Book of Deer.) | | O Lord Jesus Christ, before whose judgement-seat we must all | appear and give account of the things done in the body: Grant, | we beseech thee, that when the books are opened in that day, the | faces of thy servants may not be ashamed, through thy merits, O | blessed Saviour, who livest and reignest with the Father and the | Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. _Amen_. [_From the_ | Altus _of_ St Columba.] _Upon the Sundays and other Holy-days_ (_if there be no Communion_) _shall be said all that is appointed at the Communion, until the end of the general Prayer_ [For the whole state of Christ's Church militant here in earth] _together with one or more of these Collects last before rehearsed, concluding with the Blessing_. _And there shall be no Celebration of the Lord's Supper, except there be a convenient number to communicate with the Priest, according to his discretion_. _And if there be not above twenty persons in the Parish of discretion to receive the Communion: yet there shall be no Communion, except four_ (_or three at the least_) _communicate with the Priest_. _And in Cathedral and Collegiate Churches, and Colleges, where there are many Priests and Deacons, they shall all receive the Communion with the Priest every Sunday at the least, except they have a reasonable cause to the contrary_. _And to take away all occasion of dissension, and superstition, which any person hath or might have concerning the Bread and Wine, it shall suffice that the Bread be such as is usual to be eaten; but the best and purest Wheat Bread that conveniently may be gotten_. _And if any of the Bread and Wine remain unconsecrated, the Curate shall have it to his own use: but if any remain of that which was consecrated, it shall not be carried out of the Church, but the Priest, and such other of the Communicants as he shall then call unto him, shall, immediately after the Blessing, reverently eat and drink the same_. _The Bread and Wine for the Communion shall be provided by the Curate, and the Church-wardens at the charges of the Parish_. _And note, that every Parishioner shall communicate at the least three times in the year, of which Easter to be one. And yearly at Easter every Parishioner shall reckon with the Parson, Vicar, or Curate, or his or their Deputy or Deputies; and pay to them or him all Ecclesiastical Duties, accustomably due, then and at that time to be paid_.
