Summary
Ch. Ch. Cathedral, Oxford, is the only cathedral mentioned as having weekly communion, and communion on Holy-days is said to be unheard of, "if I except the practice of the most pious and devout, but now suspended, Bishop of Bath and Wells, that seraphick soul and true pattern of primitive Christianity."
Imperfect at the end.
