B08365	A dialogue between a pastor and parishioner, touching the Lord's Supper. Wherein the most material doubts and scruples about receiving that holy sacrament, are removed, and the way thereto discovered to be both plain and pleasant. Very usefull for private christians in these scrupulous times. With some short prayers fitted for that occasion, and a morning and evening prayer for the use of private families / by Michael Altham, Vicar of Latton in Essex.	Altham, Michael, 1633-1705.	1687 (1687)	Wing A2933AB; ESTC R172247	65,705	236

you_o obj._n 4._o parishioner_n sir_n i_o have_v hear_v some_o scruple_n the_o posture_n in_o which_o we_o be_v require_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n viz._n kneel_v fear_v lest_o there_o shall_v

our_o church_n in_o her_o appendix_n to_o the_o rubric_n after_o the_o communion-service_n have_v very_o well_o obviate_v this_o objection_n for_o she_o there_o declare_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o no_o adoration_n be_v hereby_o intend_a nor_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v either_o to_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n and_o wine_n there_o bodily_a receive_v or_o to_o any_o corporal_a presence_n of_o christ_n natural_a flesh_n and_o blood_n for_o 1._o she_o declare_v that_o the_o sacramental_a bread_n and_o wine_n do_v remain_v still_o in_o their_o very_a natural_a substance_n and_o therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v adore_v for_o that_o be_v idolatry_n to_o be_v abhor_v by_o all_o faithful_a christian_n 2._o that_o the_o natural_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o not_o here_o it_o be_v against_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n natural_a body_n to_o be_v at_o one_o time_n in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o 2._o that_o this_o posture_n be_v only_o mean_v 1._o to_o signify_v thereby_o our_o humble_a and_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n therein_o give_v to_o all_o worthy_a receiver_n 2._o to_o prevent_v such_o profanation_n and_o disorder_n in_o the_o holy_a communion_n as_o may_v otherwise_o ensue_v now_o after_o such_o a_o plain_a declaration_n as_o this_o one_o will_v think_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o
