15. Item, as touching the holy Communion, by the letters of S. Paul to the Cor. 11. we understand, that the use then amongst them was, to have the participation of the bread called the Lords body, and of the cup called the Lords blood, administered not at an altar, but at a plain board or table, the congregation there meeting together after the time of their supper, where not the minister alone did receive and the other looked on, but the whole congregation together did communicate with reverence & thanks giving, not lifting over the Priests head, nor worshipping, nor kneeling, nor knocking their breasts, but either sitting at the supper, or standing after the supper. According to which form the Muscovites yet to this day following the old rite of the Country (although being drowned otherwise in much superstition) use to receive it after they be risen from their diner standing. Experience whereof was seen here at London the first day of October. 1569.
