S. Chrysostom• 1many times exhorting his people to prepare themselves to receive their rights, at least at Easter, in one place saith thus: what meaneth this? The most part of you be partakers of this Sacrifice but once in the year, some twice, some oftener. Therefore this that I speak, is to all, not to them only that be here present, but to those also that live in wilderness. For they receive the Sacrament but once in the year, and peradventure but once in two years. Well, what then? whom shall we receive? those that come but once, or that come often, or that come seldom? Soothly, we receive them that come with a pure and a clean conscience, with a clean heart, and to be short, with a blameless life. They that be such, let them come always: and they that be not such, let them not come, not so much as once. Why so? because they receive to them selves judgement, damnation, and punishment. The ancient doctors, specially Chrysostom and Augustine, be full of such sentences.

The moste parte of you be partakers of this Sacrifice but once in the yeere, some twise, some oftener. Therefore this that I speake, is to al, not to them onely that be here present, but to those also that liue in wildernesse. For they receiue the Sacrament but once in the yere, and peraduenture but once in two yeres. VVel, what then? whome shal wee receiue? those that come but once, or that come often, or that come seldome? Soothely, wee receiue them that come with a pure and a cleane conscience, with a cleane harte, and to be shorte, with a blamelesse life. They that be suhe, let them come alwaies: and they that be not suche, let them not come, not so muche as once. VVhy so? bicause they receiue to them selues iudgement, damnation, and punishement. The auncient doctoures, specially Chrysostome and Augustine, be ful of such sentences.
