The Apologie, Cap. 12. Diuision. 2.
To this Banquet we think the People of God ought to be earnestly bidden, that they may all Communicate among them selves, and openly declare, and testify both the godly Society, which is among them, and also the hope, which they have in Christ Jesus. For this cause, if there had been any, which would be but a looker on, and abstain from the holy Communion, him did the Old Fathers, and Bishops of Rome in the Primitive Church, before Private Massive came up, excommunicate, as a wicked person, & as a Pagans. Neither was there any Christian at that time, which did Communicate alone, whiles other looked on. For so did Calixtus in times paste decree, that after the Consecration was finished, all should Communicate, except they had rather stand without the Church doors. For thus (saith he) did the Apostles appoint, and the same the Holy Church of Rome keepeth still.

For this cause, if there had benne any, whiche woulde be but a looker on, and abstaine from the holy Communion, him did the Olde Fathers, and Bishoppes of Rome in the Primitiue Churche, before Priuate Masie came vp, excommunicate, as a wicked person, & as a Pagans. Neither was there any Christian at that time, whiche did Communicate alone, whiles other looked on. For so did Calixtus in times paste decree, that after the Consecration was finished, al should Communicate, excepte they had rather stande without the Churche doores. For thus (saithe he) did the Apostles appointe, and the same the Holy Churche of Rome keepeth stil.
