Melbourne.P.Boynton?!? Brilliant. Does he advocate the use of Ribena?

No - I imagine Ribena would be far too potent for sacramental purposes, especially if it sparkles.

Then what did he use to wash down the unleavened bread and little boys?

hope like boynton, Rev Melb P is a vegetarian, and would decline cocktail franks served at social gatherings. At such events I imagine boyntons would piously imbibe the house lemonade.

That is most eerie, indeed. Sort of frightening, actually. Perhaps I should make an attempt at finding his grave.

It's a fact that on a warm day like today, lemon aides pious and abstinent teeteetallers to keep their temperance. I might apply for some this afternoon.

Yes it was a bit eerie.
& (thanks to your linkage) I found his cottage actually - more anon...

and yes, Tony, I think it's certainly a fact that lemon aides the mind. Although I'm mindful of the bubbles myself.
