Calixtus, a Bishop of Rome, not long after the Apostles time, giveth out the like commandment in y• same behalf: His words be these. Peracta consecratione, omnes communicent, qui noluerint carere ecclesiasticis liminibus, sic enim Apostoli statuerunt, & sancta Romana tenet ecclesia. That is: when the consecration is done, let every man receive the communion, unless he will be put of from the entry of the church. For this thing have the Apostles ordained, & the holy church of Rome continueth ⟨image 162⟩the same. S. Chrysostom, upon the epistle of S. Paul to the Ephesians, sharply rebuketh the people, for refraining the holy Communion. Thus he saith. Nones dignus communione: ergo nec precibus: Qua ratione preco dicit abite: tu vero imprudenter perstas. Thou wilt say (saith s. Chrysostom) that thou art not worthy to receive the Communion. Then art thou not worthy to be present at the common prayers. The deacon saith unto you, that will not communicate, get you hence: and yet thou like an impudent man standest still.
