so_o then_o we_o by_o this_o gesture_n of_o stand_v at_o the_o creed_n or_o gospel_n profess_v our_o constancy_n or_o perseverance_n but_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o stand_v in_o ob._n grace_n or_o in_o the_o faith_n it_o do_v not_o intend_v a_o bodily_a but_o a_o spiritual_a stand_n it_o be_v very_o true_a and_o when_o we_o by_o our_o bodily_a stand_n do_v profess_v our_o

holy_a communion_n receive_v whereat_o we_o both_o lift_v up_o thankful_a heart_n unto_o god_n for_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o also_o beg_v of_o god_n that_o by_o the_o merit_n thereof_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n may_v be_v preserve_v to_o everlasting_a life_n it_o be_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o a_o man_n may_v pray_v sit_v walk_a stand_v or_o lay_v along_o for_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v always_o but_o when_o a_o man_n betake_v himself_o to_o a_o set_a exercise_n of_o prayer_n and_o that_o special_o in_o the_o public_a congregation_n kneel_v be_v the_o
