in_o receive_v have_v nourish_v much_o vain_a superstition_n in_o the_o people_n make_v the_o ordinance_n most_o tedious_a and_o troublesome_a if_o not_o too_o comical_a phil._n you_o mention_v

in_o receive_v be_v not_o so_o from_o the_o beginning_n but_o after_o the_o eastern_a manner_n of_o sit_v at_o a_o feast_n it_o be_v not_o proper_a or_o comely_a to_o kneel_v at_o a_o feast_n which_o be_v for_o a_o sociable_a rejoice_v kneel_v be_v a_o posture_n of_o prostration_n in_o prayer_n but_o this_o be_v a_o distinct_a ordinance_n from_o prayer_n though_o it_o be_v bless_v by_o prayer_n the_o prayer_n be_v over_o when_o the_o element_n be_v distribute_v and_o then_o our_o business_n be_v not_o to_o pray_v but_o to_o feed_v in_o a_o feast_v sacramental_a and_o spiritual_a manner_n neither_o be_v the_o practice_n of_o some_o communicant_n to_o be_v commend_v who_o after_o the_o element_n be_v bless_v by_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o congregation_n betake_v themselves_o to_o

to_o receive_v in_o a_o act_n of_o prayer_n whereas_o now_o they_o be_v to_o receive_v their_o spiritual_a food_n to_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o their_o hunger_a and_o thirst_a soul_n with_o rejoice_v and_o gladness_n of_o heart_n make_v it_o the_o bread_n of_o consolation_n and_o cup_n of_o salvation_n praise_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o nature_n of_o receive_v clear_o appear_v from_o this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o feast_n of_o remembrance_n and_o therein_o for_o spiritual_a repast_n nourishment_n and_o consolation_n and_o it_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o last_o element_n end_v with_o a_o psalm_n or_o hymn_n of_o praise_n before_o we_o arise_v from_o the_o table_n and_o therefore_o to_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o same_o posture_n we_o be_v in_o when_o we_o receive_v the_o cup_n and_o we_o use_v not_o a_o kneel_a posture_n in_o sing_v phil._n i_o have_v read_v many_o considerable_a argument_n indeed_o against_o this_o posture_n in_o receive_v which_o give_v ground_n to_o suspect_v there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o superstition_n in_o it_o and_o that_o it_o be_v derive_v from_o rome_n but_o i_o have_v not_o before_o consider_v what_o you_o say_v of_o its_o great_a disagreement_n to_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o ordinance_n the_o act_n of_o receive_v be_v a_o distinct_a duty_n from_o pray_v and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v many_o that_o profess_v to_o more_o knowledge_n in_o these_o thing_n than_o i_o do_v do_v they_o know_v not_o what_o in_o betake_v themselves_o to_o private_a prayer_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v exercise_v after_o another_o manner_n and_o so_o do_v undue_o mix_v one_o ordinance_n with_o another_o or_o thrust_v out_o one_o spiritual_a duty_n by_o another_o i_o be_o glad_a you_o mention_v it_o to_o i_o
