I haven't been naughty these forty years. I haven't a copy of the 1559
revision, but that of 1662 contains the rubric:
"And if any of the Bread and Wine remain unconsecrated, the Curate
shall have it to his own use:
but if any remain of that which was consecrated, it shall not be
carried out of the Church, but the Priest and such other of the
Communicants as he shall then call unto him, shall, immediately after
the Blessing, reverently eat and drink the same."
This distinction was not made in 1552. I had thought it was made in
1559, but perhaps (if you say so) it was later; certainly, as you see,
by 1662. And many other small but significant changes were made during
this period, all beefing up the idea of a presence of Christ in the
consecrated elements.
Bill.
