have_v reckon_v communicate_v and_o herein_o some_o will_v conceive_v i_o have_v go_v beyond_o the_o law_n of_o our_o church_n which_o require_v as_o they_o may_v think_v by_o her_o rubric_n that_o the_o people_n communicate_v but_o three_o time_n a_o year_n to_o this_o i_o say_v this_o be_v indeed_o the_o least_o which_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o our_o church_n will_v exempt_v people_n from_o censure_n but_o this_o be_v far_o from_o be_v all_o which_o she_o will_v bring_v her_o son_n to_o for_o she_o have_v provide_v a_o communion-service_n not_o only_o for_o every_o lord_n day_n but_o for_o every_o holiday_n in_o the_o year_n and_o by_o diverse_a passage_n of_o the_o rubric_n more_o than_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o insist_v on_o at_o present_a it_o appear_v she_o desire_v more_o i_o may_v not_o wave_v that_o particular_a text_n of_o the_o rubric_n in_o cathedral_n and_o collegiate_n church_n where_o there_o be_v many_o priest_n every_o sunday_n at_o the_o least_o except_o they_o have_v a_o reasonable_a cause_n to_o the_o contrary_a etc._n etc._n and_o further_o to_o back_o this_o rubric_n i_o must_v solemn_o profess_v i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o any_o christian_a can_v satisfy_v himself_o that_o he_o walk_v according_a to_o scripture_n and_o primitive_a rule_n who_o except_o in_o case_n of_o necessity_n or_o want_v of_o opportunity_n communicate_v seldome_a than_o each_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o christianity_n it_o be_v plain_a from_o act_n two_o 42._o they_o communicate_v daily_o and_o this_o custom_n continue_v in_o a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o church_n for_o above_o four_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n st._n austin_n particular_o who_o die_v not_o till_o the_o year_n of_o our_o lord_n 430_o not_o only_o mention_n it_o as_o then_o customary_a but_o exhort_v to_o it_o i_o will_v not_o urge_v that_o in_o the_o romish_a church_n we_o may_v observe_v the_o footstep_n of_o this_o practice_n still_o from_o their_o daily_a private_a mass_n but_o i_o must_v note_v that_o the_o minimum_fw-la quod_fw-la sic_fw-la or_o must_v seldom_o return_n that_o we_o read_v the_o administration_n hereof_o have_v in_o the_o apostolical_a age_n be_v on_o every_o lord_n day_n on_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n when_o the_o disciple_n come_v together_o to_o break_v bread_n etc._n etc._n act_v xxi_o and_o i_o wish_v those_o word_n which_o st._n paul_n report_v as_o in_o the_o body_n of_o the_o institution_n from_o our_o saviour_n and_o which_o our_o church_n from_o st._n paul_n insert_v into_o the_o form_n of_o consecration_n do_v this_o as_o oft_o as_o you_o drink_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o have_v be_v better_o consider_v especial_o as_o they_o stand_v in_o the_o original_a than_o they_o be_v by_o most_o interpreter_n i_o think_v i_o can_v easy_o and_o evident_o make_v out_o that_o they_o import_v no_o less_o than_o a_o express_a command_n to_o this_o purpose_n every_o day_n whereon_o you_o public_o assemble_v see_v you_o celebrate_v my_o supper_n let_v this_o be_v a_o constant_a part_n of_o every_o day_n public_a worship_n but_o the_o due_a deduction_n of_o this_o sense_n will_v take_v up_o more_o room_n than_o i_o may_v at_o present_a allow_v myself_o however_o still_o i_o challenge_v any_o instance_n to_o be_v produce_v from_o scripture_n of_o christian_n in_o the_o apostle_n age_n communicate_v seldome_a than_o each_o sunday_n i_o may_v therefore_o reasonable_o conclude_v touch_v this_o rubric_n of_o our_o church_n not_o punish_v the_o negligence_n of_o such_o as_o communicate_v but_o thrice_o a_o year_n as_o our_o lord_n do_v touch_v divorce_n because_o of_o the_o hardness_n of_o man_n heart_n it_o be_v suffer_v to_o they_o but_o from_o the_o begin_n it_o be_v not_o so_o nor_o be_v it_o the_o mind_n of_o our_o church_n it_o shall_v be_v so_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v and_o still_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o occasion_n require_v administer_v often_o than_o on_o each_o lord_n day_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o constant_a celebration_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n come_v in_o as_o it_o be_v together_o and_o that_o neither_o any_o order_n or_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n nor_o any_o canon_n of_o the_o church_n have_v separate_v they_o or_o exclude_v the_o lord_n supper_n from_o the_o public_a duty_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n the_o separation_n of_o they_o which_o be_v now_o come_v into_o the_o church_n can_v only_o be_v make_v by_o the_o corruption_n and_o degeneracy_n of_o the_o latter_a christian_a age_n and_o whether_o either_o the_o corruption_n or_o degeneracy_n of_o other_o will_v be_v a_o good_a plea_n for_o the_o like_a in_o we_o one_o day_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o consider_v in_o time_n for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o be_o resolve_v i_o and_o as_o many_o as_o i_o can_v prevail_v with_o shall_v never_o run_v the_o venture_n i_o will_v communicate_v or_o administer_v if_o i_o can_v get_v but_o three_o christian_n with_o i_o at_o least_o every_o lord_n day_n and_o let_v other_o forbear_v it_o at_o their_o peril_n and_o as_o they_o will_v answer_v before_o god_n and_o christ_n the_o righteous_a judge_n at_o the_o last_o day_n it_o remain_v now_o i_o only_o add_v a_o word_n or_o two_o for_o remove_v those_o neglect_v which_o in_o the_o begin_n i_o tax_v as_o so_o frequent_a especial_o among_o the_o irish_a protestant_n in_o most_o country_n parish_n the_o neglect_n of_o afternoon_n public_a worship_n and_o so_o of_o catechise_v youth_n with_o that_o constancy_n that_o the_o law_n have_v enjoin_v be_v ordinary_o plead_v to_o be_v necessitate_v or_o make_v in_o a_o manner_n unavoidable_a by_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o parishioner_n dwelling_n from_o the_o church_n in_o the_o country_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v 1._o this_o be_v not_o so_o constant_a every_o where_n but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o competent_a number_n of_o protestant_a inhabitant_n within_o such_o convenient_a distance_n as_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o small_a congregation_n in_o the_o afternoon_n and_o then_o family_n may_v be_v warn_v by_o turn_n and_o in_o course_n to_o send_v their_o young_a people_n on_o afternoon_n to_o catechism_n which_o thing_n may_v be_v make_v convenient_a by_o a_o hundred_o little_a contrivance_n that_o the_o mean_a capacity_n if_o people_n have_v but_o a_o good_a heart_n for_o their_o duty_n will_v quick_o find_v out_o as_o for_o instance_n if_o my_o young_a people_n come_v with_o i_o to_o church_n in_o the_o morning_n i_o can_v easy_o let_v they_o stay_v a_o dinnertime_n at_o their_o neighbour_n house_n near_o the_o church_n than_o my_o own_o that_o they_o may_v be_v at_o evening_n service_n and_o catechism_n if_o they_o do_v not_o i_o can_v order_v they_o to_o be_v ready_a by_o such_o a_o time_n as_o i_o come_v home_o to_o take_v the_o horse_n or_o horse_n with_o which_o i_o and_o other_o of_o my_o family_n go_v to_o church_n in_o the_o morning_n and_o they_o will_v be_v early_o enough_o for_o their_o duty_n a_o true_a good_a will_n and_o a_o little_a zeal_n for_o our_o religion_n may_v find_v out_o more_o and_o better_a expedient_n as_o circumstance_n may_v vary_v 2_o if_o the_o minister_n house_n be_v so_o far_o distant_a from_o the_o church_n be_v his_o and_o all_o substantial_a religious_a neighbour_n house_n so_o out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o small_a afternoon-assembly_n in_o any_o of_o they_o if_o any_o be_v unwilling_a to_o have_v their_o house_n so_o constant_o trouble_v every_o lord_n day_n convenient_a house_n in_o several_a district_n may_v be_v take_v by_o turn_n and_o in_o the_o morning_n notice_n give_v at_o the_o church_n that_o evening_n prayer_n will_v be_v at_o such_o a_o family_n this_o day_n and_o at_o such_o a_o one_o the_o next_o lord_n day_n etc._n etc._n now_o here_o young_a people_n may_v convenient_o appear_v for_o catechism_n this_o will_v be_v make_v much_o the_o more_o tolerable_a to_o poor_a inhabitant_n if_o there_o be_v a_o rule_n set_v up_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o custom_n at_o any_o time_n permit_v as_o give_v drink_n and_o entertainment_n to_o the_o neighbour_n that_o assemble_v any_o more_o than_o there_o be_v at_o church_n but_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o descend_v to_o such_o minute_n matter_n i_o leave_v this_o to_o good_a christian_n piety_n and_o prudence_n and_o take_v notice_n in_o a_o word_n of_o the_o other_o more_o gross_a neglect_n above_o tax_v namely_o the_o clergy_n come_v to_o their_o cure_n but_o once_o a_o fortnight_n or_o seldomer_n where_o the_o slenderness_n of_o the_o maintenance_n be_v such_o that_o better_a provision_n can_v be_v make_v this_o be_v to_o be_v bear_v and_o lament_v but_o in_o other_o case_n i_o hope_v the_o governor_n of_o the_o church_n will_v not_o bear_v with_o it_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v
