the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o that_o i_o shall_v kneel_v or_o stand_v rather_o than_o sit_v at_o my_o prayer_n because_o these_o be_v natural_a posture_n of_o humility_n and_o reverence_n and_o have_v be_v esteem_v so_o in_o all_o age_n and_o nation_n whereas_o sit_v or_o lean_v or_o lie_v along_o do_v betoken_v a_o comparative_a carelessness_n and_o disregard_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o worship_n and_o will_v without_o question_n produce_v that_o bad_a effect_n upon_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n wherever_o they_o be_v put_v to_o practice_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o devout_a and_o submissive_a gesture_n and_o deportment_n of_o ourselves_o at_o the_o time_n and_o ●●aces_n of_o religious_a worship_n be_v of_o real_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n to_o ourselves_o and_o be_v of_o good_a example_n to_o other_o and_o for_o the_o edification_n of_o all_o which_o thing_n be_v so_o plain_a and_o so_o undoubted_a a_o justification_n of_o all_o significant_a ceremony_n that_o i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o concern_v they_o last_o there_o be_v no_o ceremony_n in_o our_o church_n which_o be_v or_o be_v pretend_v to_o be_v idolatrous_a in_o its_o direction_n for_o as_o to_o the_o bow_n towards_o the_o altar_n or_o communion-table_n place_v at_o the_o east_n end_n of_o the_o church_n it_o be_v leave_v to_o every_o man_n liberty_n by_o the_o canon_n of_o 1640._o to_o behave_v himself_o in_o that_o matter_n as_o he_o please_v so_o that_o here_o be_v nothing_o impose_v and_o yet_o because_o this_o have_v be_v former_o so_o high_o censure_v and_o perhaps_o with_o some_o more_o tolerable_a pretence_n than_o any_o of_o the_o other_o exception_n that_o be_v make_v i_o shall_v not_o use_v it_o since_o i_o be_o not_o enjoin_v where_o it_o may_v give_v offence_n or_o be_v a_o occasion_n of_o scandal_n to_o the_o weak_a but_o in_o cathedral_n or_o collegiate_n church_n where_o the_o congregation_n usual_o be_v better_o inform_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o it_o may_v not_o be_v do_v for_o it_o be_v not_o pretend_v that_o we_o bow_v to_o any_o carve_a image_n or_o to_o the_o likeness_n of_o any_o live_a creature_n whether_o in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n express_o forbid_v by_o the_o second_o commandment_n that_o we_o worship_v the_o rail_n or_o the_o table_n itself_o or_o at_o any_o time_n the_o consecrate_a element_n upon_o it_o which_o be_v likewise_o include_v in_o the_o meaning_n of_o that_o commandment_n all_o which_o our_o church_n do_v express_o declare_v against_o in_o as_o plain_a language_n as_o word_n be_v capable_a of_o speak_v and_o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o the_o israelite_n long_o before_o christianity_n be_v think_v of_o do_v always_o worship_n towards_o jerusalem_n that_o be_v towards_o a_o certain_a quarter_n of_o the_o heaven_n without_o any_o the_o least_o suspicion_n of_o idolatry_n and_o that_o for_o aught_o appear_v only_o by_o humane_a institution_n last_o i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v deny_v that_o god_n be_v in_o all_o time_n and_o place_n a_o very_a true_a and_o proper_a object_n of_o adoration_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o quarter_n of_o the_o heaven_n beside_o the_o symbolical_a reason_n upon_o which_o this_o practice_n depend_v towards_o which_o we_o may_v not_o worship_v he_o without_o idolatry_n as_o for_o our_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n our_o church_n have_v sufficient_o declare_v herself_o in_o this_o point_n that_o she_o intend_v no_o worship_n but_o to_o god_n only_o to_o god_n the_o father_n who_o send_v his_o

and_o efficacy_n of_o his_o passion_n as_o often_o as_o we_o do_v worthy_o partake_v of_o those_o holy_a mystery_n and_o to_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o grace_n be_v then_o implore_v and_o receive_v by_o we_o because_o the_o papist_n worship_v their_o breaden_a god_n shall_v it_o therefore_o be_v unlawful_a for_o we_o to_o kneel_v at_o our_o prayer_n to_o behave_v ourselves_o humble_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o the_o true_a and_o only_a god_n to_o acknowledge_v our_o offence_n and_o repent_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n and_o give_v thanks_o to_o god_n for_o his_o mercy_n to_o pray_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n may_v preserve_v our_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o to_o take_v that_o holy_a sacrament_n to_o our_o unspeakable_a and_o eternal_a comfort_n meek_o kneel_v upon_o our_o knee_n but_o it_o will_v be_v infinite_a to_o say_v all_o that_o may_v be_v say_v upon_o so_o copious_a a_o subject_n in_o which_o i_o have_v all_o the_o way_n so_o plain_o concur_v with_o i_o the_o voice_n of_o reason_n of_o experience_n and_o of_o the_o wise_a and_o best_a man_n of_o these_o and_o all_o time_n ever_o since_o the_o reformation_n therefore_o i_o shall_v sum_v up_o all_o as_o i_o begin_v with_o the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n let_v all_o thing_n be_v do_v decent_o and_o in_o order_n the_o end_n
