their_o holy_a rejoice_v and_o thankfulness_n the_o like_a may_v be_v see_v in_o nehemiahs_n dedication_n of_o the_o holy_a city_n which_o be_v dedicate_v with_o praise_n to_o god_n etc._n neh._n

that_o canon_n in_o which_o they_o deny_v to_o the_o cross_a any_o operative_a virtue_n and_o profess_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o better_o with_o it_o or_o worse_o without_o it_o that_o

and_o that_o they_o so_o mean_v and_o no_o otherwise_o my_o poor_a self_n and_o other_o who_o have_v stumble_v at_o the_o phrase_n may_v have_v assure_v ourselves_o out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o word_n of_o the_o canon_n and_o the_o reference_n of_o their_o meaning_n to_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n which_o express_o show_v that_o this_o ceremony_n be_v use_v only_o in_o token_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o sooth_n have_v not_o the_o popish_a abuse_n and_o superstition_n about_o the_o cross_n make_v we_o jealous_a of_o all_o use_n of_o it_o who_o will_v not_o have_v think_v this_o a_o decent_a ceremony_n at_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n to_o remind_v all_o the_o congregation_n of_o their_o christian_a profession_n and_o warfare_n to_o which_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o do_v oblige_v they_o wherefore_o if_o you_o be_v to_o subscribe_v to_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o canon_n as_o you_o be_v not_o nor_o any_o man_n else_o you_o need_v not_o fear_v to_o take_v that_o interpretation_n of_o ceremonial_a &_o only_o declarative_a dedication_n for_o without_o violence_n to_o the_o canon_n or_o mistake_n of_o it_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o understand_v it_o otherwise_o and_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o as_o i_o will_v not_o let_v my_o curate_n use_v it_o if_o i_o hold_v it_o unlawful_a so_o i_o will_v not_o forbear_v the_o use_n of_o it_o myself_o now_o that_o in_o my_o conscience_n i_o think_v the_o intend_a use_n thereof_o to_o be_v lawful_a cap._n 14._o a_o objection_n use_v to_o strengthen_v the_o former_a argument_n answer_v object_n there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o doubt_v whether_o kneel_v be_v worship_n or_o no._n ergo_fw-la at_o least_o that_o ceremony_n of_o kneel_v when_o we_o receive_v the_o communion_n be_v not_o a_o matter_n of_o mere_a order_n but_o of_o worship_n answ_n 1._o it_o have_v be_v show_v before_o cap._n 10.1_o that_o the_o gesture_n of_o kneel_v be_v neither_o worship_n nor_o sign_n of_o it_o but_o when_o so_o mean_v a_o carpenter_n kneel_v to_o drive_v a_o nail_n do_v any_o man_n think_v this_o to_o be_v worship_n 2._o that_o it_o be_v from_o common_a use_n and_o by_o construction_n a_o sign_n of_o respect_n or_o reverence_n as_o well_o in_o civil_a as_o sacred_a use_n 3._o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o any_o action_n of_o god_n solemn_a service_n either_o unlawful_a as_o prohibit_v of_o god_n or_o necessary_a as_o command_v of_o he_o though_o in_o some_o action_n more_o suitable_a to_o the_o kind_n of_o service_n and_o more_o commodious_a to_o us._n 4._o last_o that_o it_o never_o be_v fasten_v by_o divine_a ordinance_n to_o any_o one_o kind_n of_o religious_a action_n or_o other_o wherefore_o the_o question_n whether_o god_n have_v give_v man_n any_o power_n to_o mix_v action_n of_o his_o worship_n more_o than_o to_o devise_v new_a worship_n of_o god_n may_v very_o well_o be_v spare_v for_o it_o suppose_v kneel_v to_o be_v a_o worship_n by_o itself_o or_o at_o least_o ingraff_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n into_o some_o one_o action_n of_o his_o service_n which_o be_v not_o so_o 2._o we_o yield_v kneel_v in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v the_o holy_a communion_n to_o be_v in_o our_o intention_n largo_fw-la sensu_fw-la in_o a_o large_a sense_n a_o worship_n of_o god_n that_o be_v propter_fw-la aliud_fw-la in_o reference_n to_o some_o other_o thing_n not_o in_o or_o

some_o negligence_n leave_v out_o of_o the_o late_a print_v book_n of_o common_a prayer_n i_o will_v here_o set_v down_o that_o i_o may_v be_v sure_a you_o shall_v know_v it_o there_o after_o a_o
