the_o authority_n of_o the_o ordinary_a the_o bishop_n the_o canon_n because_o it_o be_v not_o confirm_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o your_o inference_n be_v not_o good_a be_v all_o thing_n unlawful_a that_o be_v not_o confirm_v by_o act_n of_o parliament_n sure_o then_o many_o indifferent_a action_n must_v needs_o be_v unlawful_o perform_v have_v the_o king_n have_v the_o church_n no_o authority_n in_o these_o thing_n what_o then_o shall_v become_v of_o government_n if_o there_o be_v no_o parliament_n but_o it_o may_v be_v you_o desire_v such_o a_o time_n as_o the_o israelite_n have_v when_o there_o be_v no_o king_n in_o israel_n but_o every_o man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n b_o 6._o second_o i_o answer_v that_o your_o assertion_n be_v not_o true_a there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o parliament_n for_o that_o and_o other_o ceremony_n entitle_v a_o act_n for_o the_o uniformity_n of_o common_a prayer_n and_o prefix_v as_o a_o introduction_n to_o the_o service_n book_n but_o i_o believe_v you_o have_v take_v little_a notice_n of_o it_o because_o you_o be_v not_o much_o affect_v to_o the_o book_n itself_o again_o whereas_o you_o say_v kneel_v be_v not_o command_v in_o the_o rubric_n sure_o you_o do_v but_o take_v the_o matter_n upon_o trust_n and_o that_o have_v deceive_v you_o for_o the_o word_n be_v plain_a that_o the_o receiver_n must_v take_v the_o sacrament_n kneel_v i_o will_v repeat_v they_o that_o the_o truth_n may_v the_o better_o appear_v then_o shall_v the_o minister_n first_o receive_v in_o both_o kind_n himself_o and_o next_o deliver_v it_o to_o other_o minister_n if_o any_o be_v present_a and_o after_o to_o the_o people_n in_o their_o hand_n kneel_v what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_a certain_o if_o you_o do_v not_o take_v the_o matter_n upon_o trust_n as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o either_o you_o do_v not_o look_v so_o far_o or_o overlook_v it_o your_o disallow_n of_o the_o canon_n can_v make_v it_o of_o no_o validity_n for_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o king_n who_o we_o acknowledge_v supreme_a in_o cause_n as_o well_o ecclesiastical_a as_o civil_a yea_o the_o power_n thereof_o be_v further_o ratify_v by_o a_o clause_n mention_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o the_o act_n make_v for_o the_o uniformity_n of_o common_a prayer_n this_o threefold_a cord_n than_o can_v be_v break_v by_o you_o strain_v a_o hard_a as_o you_o can_v and_o yet_o let_v i_o advise_v you_o as_o a_o friend_n not_o to_o strain_v too_o far_o lest_o by_o this_o mean_n you_o do_v not_o only_o forfeit_v your_o judgement_n but_o your_o estate_n for_o the_o act_n be_v still_o in_o force_n may_v lay_v hold_n upon_o you_o but_o to_o follow_v you_o as_o you_o proceed_v you_o urge_v we_o next_o as_o if_o we_o do_v we_o know_v not_o what_o with_o many_o demand_n concerning_o the_o object_n you_o shall_v kneel_v unto_o and_o some_o of_o they_o very_o poor_a and_o ridiculous_a you_o can_v without_o much_o prejudice_n to_o your_o own_o judgement_n conceive_v we_o to_o be_v so_o simple_a as_o to_o require_v you_o to_o kneel_v to_o the_o creature_n whether_o it_o be_v the_o minister_n or_o the_o sacrament_n but_o what_o that_o shall_v be_v which_o may_v hinder_v you_o from_o kneel_v unto_o god_n i_o be_o not_o i_o confess_v quick_a sight_v enough_o to_o perceive_v yes_o say_v you_o for_o if_o that_o be_v require_v why_o do_v not_o the_o disciple_n kneel_v i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v not_o of_o absolute_a necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v in_o all_o thing_n imitate_v the_o disciple_n next_o i_o affirm_v that_o with_o all_o the_o skill_n you_o have_v you_o can_v clear_o and_o full_o determine_v whether_o they_o do_v kneel_v or_o no_o touch_v the_o form_n of_o administration_n what_o if_o we_o shall_v affirm_v for_o all_o your_o negative_a that_o part_n of_o it_o be_v a_o prayer_n i_o doubt_v not_o we_o shall_v make_v it_o good_a well_o enough_o do_v you_o yourself_o examine_v it_o a_o little_a better_o and_o you_o can_v if_o you_o will_v confess_v a_o truth_n but_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v so_o i_o will_v repeat_v the_o former_a part_n for_o that_o only_o be_v material_a to_o the_o purpose_n the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v give_v for_o thou_o preserve_v thy_o body_n and_o soul_n into_o everlasting_a life_n the_o late_a part_n be_v by_o you_o vain_o add_v for_o who_o do_v ever_o conceive_v that_o to_o be_v a_o prayer_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o prayer_n say_v you_o the_o word_n shall_v run_v thus_o i_o pray_v god_n to_o preserve_v thy_o body_n and_o soul_n to_o eternal_a life_n why_o so_o i_o see_v no_o such_o necessity_n be_v not_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n paul_n to_o timothy_n c_o 7._o the_o lord_n give_v thou_o understanding_n in_o all_o thing_n a_o prayer_n for_o timothy_n because_o he_o do_v not_o say_v i_o pray_v the_o lord_n to_o give_v thou_o understanding_n in_o all_o thing_n consider_v what_o i_o say_v and_o the_o lord_n give_v you_o a_o better_a understanding_n nor_o be_v it_o convenient_a for_o all_o your_o cavil_n that_o the_o minister_n shall_v kneel_v at_o the_o time_n of_o administration_n though_o the_o receiver_n do_v see_v the_o former_a subordinate_o under_o christ_n our_o saviour_n impart_v the_o blessing_n the_o latter_a take_v it_o ministerial_o from_o he_o suppose_v the_o king_n nay_o let_v it_o be_v some_o vicegerent_n or_o general_n under_o he_o be_v to_o bestow_v the_o order_n of_o knighthood_n because_o he_o must_v kneel_v that_o take_v the_o honour_n must_v he_o do_v so_o that_o give_v it_o or_o to_o come_v near_o to_o the_o present_a question_n consider_v this_o in_o matter_n of_o ordination_n for_o though_o it_o be_v no_o sacrament_n it_o be_v a_o holy_a action_n because_o he_o must_v kneel_v who_o receive_v order_n must_v he_o do_v so_o that_o do_v ordain_v he_o who_o see_v not_o the_o manifest_a absurdity_n of_o this_o consequence_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o minister_n himself_o receive_v first_o according_a to_o appointment_n do_v take_v the_o sacrament_n upon_o his_o knee_n and_o why_o i_o pray_v you_o may_v you_o not_o kneel_v to_o christ_n when_o you_o receive_v what_o necessity_n be_v there_o that_o your_o kneel_n to_o he_o shall_v make_v he_o to_o be_v corporal_o present_a in_o the_o sacrament_n when_o you_o take_v the_o holy_a communion_n more_o than_o he_o be_v at_o other_o time_n when_o you_o pray_v unto_o he_o my_o lord_n of_o york_n and_o it_o be_v much_o that_o you_o shall_v vouchsafe_v to_o give_v he_o that_o title_n confess_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o you_o quote_v he_o for_o yea_o in_o the_o page_n follow_v he_o be_v direct_o against_o you_o for_o he_o affirm_v out_o of_o approve_a author_n that_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o conveniency_n for_o every_o country_n to_o use_v such_o ceremony_n as_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_a d_o 133._o your_o proposition_n that_o we_o ought_v
