I grant, certain circumstances, as fasting, sitting, standing, kneeling, and other like Ceremonies about the holy Ministration, are left to the discretion of the Church. But this is a very simple argument, Certain Circumstances may be altered: Ergo, the Priest may receive alone. Christ him self hath already determined the case. For all be it he have appointed no certain number of Communicants, yet hath he by special words appointed a number. For these very words, Take ye: 1Eat ye: Drink ye all: Divide ye among your selves: Do ye this in my remembrance: ye shall set forth the Lords death: 2These very words I say, can not be taken of one singular man,3 but necessarily import a number.
