Then shall the Priest, kneeling down at the Lord's Table, say, in the name of all them that shall receive the Communion, this Prayer following.

CHA vel shin goaill orrin dy heet gys shoh dty Voayrd, O Hiarn vyghinagh, treishteil ayns yn ynrickys ain hene, agh ayns ymmodee dty vyghinyn mooarey. [369] Cha vel shin feeu wheesh shen as dy haglym seose yn vrooilliagh fo dty Voayrd.

Amen.

When the Priest standing before the Table, hath so ordered the Bread and Wine that he may with the more decency break the Bread before the People, and take the Cup into his hands; he shall say the Prayer of Consecration, as followeth.

YEE Ooilley-niartal, nyn Ayr flaunyssagh, ren jeh dty vyghin cur dty ynrycan Vac Yeesey Creest dy hurranse baase er y Chrosh son y kionniaght-reesht ain; ren ayns shen (liorish yn un oural jeh hene un cheayrt er ny hebbal) oural, chebbal, as lhiassaghey slane, firrinagh, as fondagh son pecchaghyn y theihll ooilley, as doardee eh, as ayns e Hushtal casherick hug eh sarey dooinyn dy reayll cooinaghtyn kinjagh jeh shen e vaase deyr derrey'n cheet echey reesht: Clasht rooin, O Ayr vyghinagh, ta shin dy feer imlee guee ort; as giall dy vod shinyn, liorish goaill ad shoh dty chretooryn dy arran as dy feeyn, cordail rish oardagh casherick dty Vac nyn Saualtagh, Yeesey Creest ayns cooinaghtyn jeh e vaase as e [370] hurranse, ve goaill ayrn jeh e chorp as e uill smoo bannit: Ayns yn oie cheddin v'eh er ny vrah, ghow eh arran, as tra v'eh erreish booise y choyrt vrish eh, as hug eh eh da ny ostyllyn echey, gra, Gow-jee, ee-jee, shoh my Chorp t'er ny choyrt er nyn son eu; jean-jee shoh ayns cooinaghtyn jeem's.

Amen.

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,

CORP nyn Jiarn Yeesey Creest hie er coyrt er dty hon's, dy vreill eh dty chorp as dty annym gys y vea dy bragh farraghtyn. Gow as ee shoh ayns cooinagh-[371] tyn dy hur Creest baase er dty hon, as jean beaghey er ayns dty chree lesh credjue as toyrt-booise.

And the Minister that delivereth the Cup to any one, shall say,

FUILL nyn Jiarn Yeesey Creest hie er deayrtey er dty hon's, dy vreill eh dty chorp as dty annym gys y vea dy bragh farraghtyn. Iu shoh ayns cooinaghtyn dy row fuill Chreest er ny gheayrtey er dty hon, as bee booisal.

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 shaJI 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 the Priest shall say the Lord's Prayer, the People repeating after him every Petition.

AYR ain, t'eayns niau; Casherick dy row dty Ennym. Dy jig dty reeriaght. Dt'aigney dy row jeant er y thalloo, myr te ayns niau. Cur dooin nyn arran jiu as gagh laa.

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 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 whth 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 Cathedrals 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 [377] 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 Churchwardens, at the Charges of the Parish.
And note, That every Parishioner shall communicate at the least three times in the year, of which Easter is 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.
After the Divine Service ended, the Money given at the Offertory shall be disposed of to such pious and charitable uses, as the Minister and Church-wardens shall think fit. Wherein if any disagree, it shall be disposed of as the Ordinary shall appoint.

"WHEREAS it is ordained in this Office for the Administration of the Lord's Supper, that the Communicants should receive the same kneeling; (which order is well meant, for a signification of our humble and grateful acknowledgment of the benefits of Christ therein given to all worthy Receivers, and for the avoiding of such profanation and disorder in the holy Communion as might otherwise ensue;) Yet, lest the same kneeling should by any Persons, either out of ignorance and infirmity, or out of malice and obstinacy, be misconstrued and depraved; It is hereby declared, That thereby no Adoration is intended, or ought to be done either unto the Sacramental Bread or Wine there bodily received, or to any Corporeal Presence of Christ's natural Flesh and Blood. For the sacramental Bread and Wine re-[378] main still in their very natural substances, and therefore may not be adored; (for that were Idolatry, to be abhorred of all faithful Christians;) And the natural Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ are in Heaven, and not here; it being against the truth of Christ's natural Body, to be at one time in more places than one."
