But the Revisors of the Book joyned both Forms togither least under colour of Rejecting a Carnal they might be thought also to Deny such a Real Presence as was Defended in the writing of the Antient Fathers upon which ground she Expunged also a whole Rubrick at the end of the Communion Service by which it was declared that kneeling at the Participation of the Sacrament were required for no other Reason then for the Signification of the humble and grateful Acknowledgment of the Benefits of Christ given therein unto the worthy Receiver and to avoid that prophanation and disorder which otherwise might have ensued and not for giving any Adoration to the Sacramental Bread and Wine there Bodily Received or in regard of any Real or Essential presence of Christs Body and Blood and to come close to the Church of Rome it was ordered by the Queens Injunctions That the Sacrametal Bread which the Book Required only to be made of the finest Flower should be made round in fashion of the Wafers used in the time of Q. Mary She also ordered that the Lords Table should be placed where the Altar stood that the Accustomed Reverence should be made at the Name of Jesus Musick Retayned in the Church and all the Old Festivals observed with their several Eves by which Complyances and Expunging of the passage before mentioned the Book was made so passable amongst the Papists that for ten years they generally Repaired to their Parish Churches without doubt or scruple as is affirmed not only by Sir Edward Cook in his Speech against Garnet and his Charge given at the Assizes held at Norwich but also by the Queen her self in a Letter to Sir Francis Walsingham then her Embassador in France The same Confessed by Sanders also in his Book De Schismat● and therefore Dr. Heilin in a few Pages after adds viz.
