when it is so well known that they used diversity of Liturgies and Customs in the Roman Empire. The generality in the Catholic Church received not the Lords Supper kneeling, at least on any Lords days, when it was forbidden by divers general Councils, and when this prohibition was generally received as an Apostolical tradition: We have not heard it proved, that the Surplice or Cross, as used with us, were received by the universal Church: it is a private Opinion not received by the Catholic Church, that [It is requisite that no man should come to the holy Communion, but with a full trust in Gods mercy, and with a quiet conscience,] though it be every mans duty to be perfect pro statu viatoris, yet it is not requisite that no man come till he be perfect. He that hath but a weak Faith, (though not a full trust) must come to have it strengthened: and he that hath an unquiet conscience, must come to receive that mercy which may quiet it. It is a private Opinion, and not generally received in the Catholic Church, [That one of the people] may make the public Confession at the Sacrament in the name of all those that are minded to receive the holy Communion. It is a private, and not generally received distinction, that the Body of Christ makes clean our bodies, and his Blood washeth our souls. It is a doubtful Opinion, to speak easily, that when the Lords Supper is delivered with a Prayer not made in the Receivers name, but thus directed to him by the Minister, [The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, &c. preserve thy body and soul,] it is so intolerable a thing for the Receiver not to kneel in hearing the prayer, that he must else be thrust from the Communion of the Church, and yet that no ⟨p. 18⟩Minister shall kneel that indeed doth pray: But he may pray standing, and the Hearers be cast out for standing at the same words. It is not a generally received, but a private Opinion, [That every Parishioner (though impenitent, and conscious of his utter unfitness, and though he •e in despair, and think he shall take his own damnation) must be forced to receive thrice a year; when yet even those that have not [A full trust in Gods mercy,] or have not [a quiet conscience,] were before pronounced so uncapable, as that none such should come to the Communion.]
