19. The Liturgy and Canon 22. &c. bind all under the penalty of the Law to receive the Sacrament thrice every year: If a secret Infidel, Sadducee, Hobbist, Socinian, or any Heretic say, I am not able to change my Judgment, which is inconsistent with the Sacrament, or if one whose Conscience tells him of the guilt of Adultery, and that he is not resolved to confess and forsake it yet; or one that by Melancholy causelessly feareth unworthy receiving to damnation; I say, if any of these will avoid the charge of ⟨p. 47⟩Schism, they must run upon worse, till grace recover them, which is not at their command. And yet all notorious Offenders are prohibited it Canon 26. and particularly the Perjured: And if the tenth part so many be perjured in England in City and Country, as many fear, it's a very great number that are uncapable of Communion with the Church.

20. By Canon twenty seventh on pain of Suspension no Minister must wittingly administer the Communion to any but such as Kneel, or to any that refuse to be present at public Prayers, &c.
