A05347 A treatise of the authority of the church The summe wherof was delivered in a sermon preached at Belfast, at the visitation of the diocese of Downe and Conner the tenth day of August 1636. By Henrie Leslie bishop of the diocese. Intended for the satisfaction of them who in those places oppose the orders of our church, and since published upon occasion of a libell sent abroad in writing, wherin this sermon, and all his proceedings are most falsely traduced. Together with an answer to certaine objections made against the orders of our church, especially kneeling at the communion. Leslie, Henry, 1580-1661. 1637 (1637) STC 15499; ESTC S114016 124,588 210

still_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o baptism_n it_o be_v say_v that_o ezra_n and_o all_o the_o people_n stand_v up_o at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n nehem._n viii_o 4-5_a 7.8_o and_o he_o continue_v read_v for_o a_o whole_a week_n vers_fw-la 18._o will_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o people_n who_o stand_v up_o in_o the_o beginning_n do_v stand_v all_o that_o while_n no_o

it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o probable_a that_o the_o gesture_n use_v at_o the_o passeover_n be_v continue_v in_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o will_v evident_o appear_v if_o

which_o yet_o upon_o exact_a examination_n we_o find_v to_o have_v be_v sever_v in_o time_n and_o so_o be_v the_o two_o supper_n for_o diverse_a act_n do_v intervene_v he_o rise_v from_o supper_n to_o
