to_o be_v use_v in_o her_o solemnity_n i_o proceed_v to_o a_o particular_a consideration_n of_o those_o ceremony_n of_o which_o i_o have_v not_o have_v a_o fit_a occasion_n to_o discourse_n in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n and_o they_o be_v those_o viz._n kneel_v at_o the_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o bishop_n imposition_n of_o hand_n at_o confirmation_n and_o stand_v up_o at_o the_o creed_n and_o at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n at_o the_o say_n gloria_fw-la patri_fw-la kneel_v at_o prayer_n etc._n etc._n and_o §_o 1_o 1._o concern_v kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n i_o say_v 1._o that_o since_o some_o posture_n be_v then_o necessary_a and_o none_o by_o god_n determine_v it_o can_v reasonable_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o church_n have_v power_n to_o determine_v in_o this_o matter_n as_o she_o conceive_v most_o proper_a and_o convenient_a 2_o i_o know_v no_o posture_n more_o convenient_a than_o that_o of_o kneel_v it_o be_v a_o very_a fit_a expression_n of_o our_o humility_n and_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o unworthiness_n of_o the_o great_a blessing_n there_o receive_v and_o 2_o a_o posture_n fit_a for_o prayer_n which_o we_o do_v use_v at_o the_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n 3_o i_o add_v that_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o receive_v in_o such_o a_o humble_a posture_n then_o must_v it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o refuse_v communion_n with_o our_o church_n in_o the_o participation_n of_o this_o ordinance_n because_o she_o do_v require_v we_o to_o use_v this_o posture_n in_o receive_v for_o on_o this_o supposition_n we_o must_v refuse_v to_o hold_v communion_n with_o she_o in_o a_o lawful_a matter_n and_o so_o must_v separate_v from_o her_o communion_n in_o this_o ordinance_n without_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o schism_n now_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o receive_v kneel_v will_v appear_v by_o answer_v the_o argument_n produce_v by_o dissenter_n against_o this_o posture_n and_o 1._o it_o be_v object_v that_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o practice_n and_o example_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n for_o they_o receive_v sit_v answ_n 1_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o greek_a word_n by_o which_o the_o posture_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o his_o disciple_n at_o their_o receive_v be_v express_v be_v translate_v so_o as_o to_o seem_v to_o countenance_v their_o opinion_n who_o hold_v the_o sit_v posture_n to_o be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o example_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o his_o disciple_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a from_o the_o original_a that_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n do_v neither_o sit_v nor_o kneel_v but_o do_v lie_v down_o on_o couch_n at_o the_o receive_v of_o this_o ordinance_n for_o it_o be_v administer_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d they_o lie_v

must_v lie_v down_o at_o the_o receive_v of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o so_o our_o lord_n example_n will_v be_v as_o strong_a against_o sit_v which_o be_v the_o posture_n our_o dissenter_n use_v as_o against_o kneel_v which_o be_v the_o posture_n they_o reject_v answ_n 2_o 2ly_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o these_o which_o accidental_o be_v do_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n and_o have_v no_o real_a goodness_n in_o they_o we_o can_v be_v oblige_v to_o imitate_v they_o this_o man_n do_v general_o acknowledge_v in_o thing_n of_o a_o like_a nature_n to_o this_o gesture_n for_o they_o conceive_v that_o we_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n in_o a_o like_a place_n viz_o a_o upper_a room_n or_o inn_n nor_o at_o the_o same_o time_n after_o the_o
