Whether Cathedral and Collegiate Churches shall be strictly bound to Celebrate the Holy Communion every Sunday at the least, and might not it rather be added once in a Month. 18. In the last Rubric touching the Communion, it is not fit that the Printer make a full Point, and begin with a new Great Letter at these words, And every Parishioner shall also receive the Sacrament. 19. Whether in the first Prayer at the Baptism, these words, Didst sanctify the Flood of Jordan, and all other Waters, should be thus changed, Didst sanctify the Element of Water. 20.

Whether these Words in Matrimony, With my Body I thee worship, shall not be thus altered, I give thee power over my body. 27. Whether the last Rubric of Marriage should not be mended, that new married Persons should receive the Communion the same day of their marriage, may not well be (or upon the Sunday following) when the Communion is celebrated. 28.
