of_o prince_n palace_n that_o as_o they_o stay_v in_o their_o watch_n whether_o sit_v or_o stand_v so_o the_o christian_n stay_v in_o the_o church_n mourning_n and_o pray_v in_o these_o time_n of_o

they_o stand_v on_o these_o day_n in_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n or_o prayer_n now_o be_v induce_v by_o the_o observation_n of_o albaspinaeus_n we_o deny_v that_o they_o stand_v in_o time_n of_o prayer_n upon_o these_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o argument_n be_v the_o more_o forcible_a for_o we_o that_o notwithstanding_o of_o their_o humiliation_n and_o kneel_v upon_o these_o day_n of_o mourning_n and_o fast_v yet_o at_o the_o end_n when_o they_o be_v near_o dissolve_v and_o end_v their_o fast_n or_o station_n they_o stand_v at_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o receive_v the_o

receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o their_o house_n kneel_v for_o a_o thousand_o year_n they_o stand_v even_o in_o time_n of_o prayer_n upon_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v imagine_v that_o they_o kneel_v when_o they_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n but_o say_v our_o opposite_n they_o use_v the_o same_o gesture_n in_o the_o receive_n the_o eucharist_n which_o they_o think_v fit_a for_o prayer_n i_o answer_v they_o think_v nor_o stand_v the_o fit_a gesture_n for_o prayer_n but_o kneel_v and_o stand_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o signify_v their_o joy_n for_o christ_n
