What further examination is to be used before we come?
What further examination is to bee vsed before wee come?
All that come to this holy Sacrament must examine themselves of their faith, and repentance for their particular sins: to bewail them, and to judge themselves for them; lest in coming otherwise they procure the wrath of God against them, and those that belong unto them; although not in condemnation in the world to come, (which the faithful notwithstanding their unworthy receiving cannot come unto) yet to fearful plagues and judgements in this world. Whereby all not of age and sound judgement, are shut from this Sacrament, which are not always from the other of Baptism.
