such_o design_n they_o must_v not_o say_v it_o be_v to_o comply_v with_o our_o church_n because_o it_o express_o declare_v against_o it_o and_o warn_v they_o of_o the_o danger_n of_o it_o if_o they_o worship_v the_o bread_n their_o kneel_v be_v no_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o they_o may_v use_v that_o posture_n only_o to_o confess_v their_o sin_n and_o give_v thanks_o and_o make_v prayer_n by_o all_o which_o they_o worship_v god_n if_o they_o be_v so_o mind_v and_o if_o still_o they_o will_v worship_v the_o bread_n by_o it_o they_o go_v off_o from_o the_o injunction_n of_o the_o church_n which_o will_v deâ—er_v they_o from_o it_o so_o that_o their_o submission_n to_o the_o church_n order_n in_o this_o case_n can_v put_v they_o in_o no_o danger_n of_o worship_v the_o bread_n and_o therefore_o
