What if four or five of sundry houses in a sickness time, being at the point of death in a parish, require to have their rights •r they depart? The Priest after that he hath received the Sacrament in the Church, taketh his natural sustenance, and dineth, and then being called upon, carieth the rest a mile or two to the sick, in each house none being disposed to receive with the sick, he doth that he is required. (21)1 Doth he not in this case communicate with them, and do not they communicate one with another, rather having a will to communicate together in one place also, if opportunity served? Else, if this might not be accounted as a lawful and good Communion, and therefore not to be used: the one of these great inconveniences should wittingly be committed: (22)2 that either they should be denied that necessary victual of life at their departing hence, which were a cruel injury, and a thing contrary to the examples, and godly ordinances of the Primitive Church: Or the Priest rather for companies sake then of devotion, should receive that holy meat after that he had served his stomach with common meats: which likewise is against the ancient decrees of the Church. Even so the Priest that receiveth alone at Mass, doth communicate with all them that do the like in other places and countries.
