of_o kneel_v in_o regard_n of_o they_o do_v we_o not_o presume_v upon_o christ_n patience_n in_o reject_v his_o example_n now_o what_o necessity_n be_v there_o of_o those_o prayer_n at_o that_o very_a

christ_n do_v sit_v when_o he_o do_v eat_v the_o passeover_n whereas_o god_n command_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n in_o egypt_n to_o eat_v the_o passeover_n stand_v and_o some_o reform_a church_n receive_v stand_v for_o all_o that_o christ_n do_v sit_v at_o his_o last_o supper_n therefore_o the_o king_n may_v appoint_v kneel_v as_o the_o most_o reverend_a gesture_n and_o best_a beseem_v so_o

be_v indifferent_a to_o sit_v or_o to_o stand_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o kneel_v be_v indifferent_a for_o sit_v be_v the_o example_n and_o stand_v be_v a_o gesture_n sometime_o use_v in_o ordinary_a eat_n and_o in_o the_o objection_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v prescribe_v at_o a_o sacramental_a feast_n again_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o christ_n use_v a_o gesture_n fit_a for_o eat_v in_o his_o time_n instead_o of_o a_o gesture_n prescribe_v upon_o occasion_n it_o be_v therefore_o lawful_a to_o use_v a_o gesture_n nothing_o answerable_a to_o eat_v 14.36_o 1_o cor._n
