and in the Blood of Christ.-The Thanksgiving. 279
12. Approaching therefore, come not with thy wrists ex- (18.) tended, or thy fingers open; but make thy left hand as if a throne for thy right, which is on the eve of receiving the King. And having hollowed thy palm, receive the Body of Christ, saying after it, Amen. Then after thou hast with carefulness hallowed thine eyes by the touch of the Holy Body, partake thereof; giving heed lest thou lose any of it; for what thou losest, is a loss to thee as it were from one of thine own members. For tell me, if any one gave thee gold dust, wouldest thou not with all precaution keep it fast, being on thy guard against losing any of it, and suffering loss? How much more cautiously then wilt thou observe that not a crumb falls from thee, of what is more precious than gold and precious stones?
22. Then after having partaken of the Body of Christ, (19.) approach also to the Cup of His Blood; not stretching forth thine hands, but bending and saying in the way of worship s and reverence, Amen, be thou hallowed by partaking also of the Blood of Christ. And while the moisture is still upon thy lips, touching it with thine hands, hallow both thine eyes and brow and the other senses. Then wait for the prayer, and give thanks unto God, who hath accounted thee worthy of so great mysteries.
23. Hold fast these traditions unspotted, and keep yourselves free from offence. Sever not yourselves from the Communion; deprive not yourselves, by the pollution of sins, of these Holy and Spiritual Mysteries. And the God of peace 1 Thess. sanctify you wholly; and may your whole spirit, and soul, 5, 23. and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:-To whom be glory and honour and might, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and world without end. Amen.
