8. Although ignorant, and wicked men receive the outward Elements, in this Sacrament: yet, they receive not the Thing signified thereby; but by their unworthy coming thereunto, are guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord to their own damnation. Wherefore, all ignorant, and ungodly persons, as they are unfit to enjoy Communion with him, so are they unworthy of the Lords Table; and, cannot without great sin against Christ while they remain such, partake of these Holy Mysteries,a or be admitted thereunto.b
