ordain_v to_o be_v use_v in_o this_o sacrament_n as_o the_o break_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o consecrate_v both_o that_o and_o the_o wine_n to_o represent_v his_o death_n the_o break_n of_o his_o

but_o this_o can_v be_v so_o well_o do_v except_o there_o be_v a_o place_n set_v apart_o for_o it_o where_o they_o may_v all_o be_v place_v about_z or_o near_o to_o the_o communion_n table_n and_o

will_v observe_v unto_o you_o concern_v the_o holy_a communion_n be_v this_o that_o our_o church_n require_v or_o at_o least_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v administer_v every_o lordsday_n and_o every_o holy_a day_n throughout_o the_o year_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n for_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o communion_n service_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v use_v upon_o all_o such_o day_n and_o to_o be_v read_v at_o the_o communion_n table_n that_o so_o the_o minister_n may_v be_v there_o ready_a to_o administer_v it_o unto_o all_o that_o desire_v to_o partake_v of_o it_o which_o show_v the_o great_a care_n that_o our_o church_n have_v of_o all_o her_o member_n that_o they_o may_v be_v edify_v and_o confirm_v in_o the_o faith_n to_o which_o nothing_o contribute_v more_o than_o frequent_a communion_n at_o our_o lord_n table_n which_o if_o people_n can_v once_o be_v persuade_v to_o they_o will_v soon_o find_v great_a benefit_n by_o it_o than_o i_o can_v express_v or_o they_o themselves_o till_o then_o imagine_v i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o of_o it_o at_o present_a but_o only_o this_o that_o i_o be_o so_o sensible_a of_o what_o i_o now_o say_v that_o can_v i_o be_v sure_a to_o have_v a_o sufficient_a number_n of_o communicant_n i_o shall_v be_v hearty_o glad_a to_o administer_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n every_o lord_n day_n both_o for_o their_o sake_n and_o my_o own_o too_o thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o short_a scheme_n of_o that_o excellent_a method_n wherein_o our_o divine_a service_n be_v perform_v which_o whosoever_o right_o consider_v will_v need_v no_o other_o argument_n to_o convince_v he_o that_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o apostle_n rule_n very_o edify_v indeed_o the_o last_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o its_o performance_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v only_o the_o several_a posture_n of_o the_o body_n as_o stand_v and_o kneeling_z which_o be_v use_v in_o it_o for_o they_o also_o be_v do_v to_o edify_v while_o we_o say_v or_o sing_v the_o hymn_n and_o psalm_n to_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n we_o stand_v up_o not_o only_o to_o signify_v but_o to_o excite_v the_o elevation_n of_o our_o mind_n at_o that_o time_n for_o as_o on_o the_o one_o hand_n if_o our_o soul_n be_v real_o lift_v up_o in_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n our_o body_n will_v natural_o lift_v up_o themselves_o to_o accompany_v they_o as_o far_o as_o they_o can_v towards_o heaven_n so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o raise_n up_o of_o our_o body_n help_v towards_o the_o raise_n up_o of_o our_o soul_n too_o by_o put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o that_o high_a and_o heavenly_a work_n we_o be_v now_o about_o wherein_o according_a to_o our_o weak_a capacity_n we_o join_v with_o the_o choir_n of_o heaven_n in_o praise_v god_n now_o as_o we_o hope_v to_o do_v it_o for_o evermore_o for_o this_o cause_n also_o we_o stand_v at_o the_o creed_n for_o they_o be_v confession_n of_o our_o faith_n in_o god_n as_o such_o they_o come_v under_o the_o proper_a notion_n of_o hymn_n or_o song_n of_o praise_n to_o he_o all_o our_o praise_v god_n be_v real_o nothing_o else_o but_o our_o confess_v and_o acknowledge_v he_o to_o be_v what_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o to_o we_o and_o beside_o that_o by_o our_o stand_v both_o at_o the_o creed_n and_o gospel_n we_o signify_v our_o assent_n unto_o they_o and_o our_o readiness_n to_o defend_v they_o to_o the_o utmost_a of_o our_o power_n against_o all_o opposition_n whatsoever_o and_o as_o for_o the_o gospel_n particular_o they_o contain_v the_o very_a act_n which_o our_o lord_n do_v and_o the_o very_a word_n which_o he_o speak_v when_o he_o be_v upon_o earth_n and_o therefore_o we_o who_o profess_v he_o to_o be_v our_o lord_n and_o master_n can_v sure_o but_o stand_v up_o when_o we_o hear_v he_o speak_v and_o listen_v diligent_o to_o those_o gracious_a word_n which_o proceed_v out_o of_o his_o divine_a mouth_n and_o as_o when_o we_o praise_v god_n we_o raise_v up_o ourselves_o as_o high_a as_o we_o can_v towards_o heaven_n so_o when_o we_o pray_v unto_o he_o we_o fall_v down_o as_o low_a as_o we_o can_v towards_o the_o earth_n not_o dare_v to_o present_v our_o supplication_n to_o the_o absolute_a monarch_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n any_o other_o way_n then_o upon_o our_o knee_n which_o be_v so_o proper_a so_o natural_a a_o posture_n of_o supplicant_n that_o if_o all_o man_n will_v but_o due_o consider_v what_o they_o do_v when_o they_o pray_v to_o almighty_a god_n the_o church_n need_v never_o have_v command_v they_o to_o kneel_v at_o that_o time_n for_o they_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o do_v it_o no_o not_o although_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v shall_v seem_v never_o so_o inconvenient_a for_o it_o for_o we_o find_v our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o kneel_v at_o his_o prayer_n in_o the_o garden_n upon_o the_o bare_a ground_n luke_n 22._o 41._o and_o st._n paul_n upon_o the_o seashore_n where_o he_o can_v have_v no_o other_o cushion_n but_o stone_n or_o sand_n act_v 21._o 5._o howsoever_o to_o take_v off_o all_o those_o little_a excuse_n that_o man_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v for_o themselves_o in_o this_o case_n the_o seats_z in_o this_o church_n be_v so_o dispose_v and_o all_o thing_n so_o prepare_v in_o they_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o inconvenience_n at_o all_o in_o it_o but_o rather_o all_o the_o convenience_n for_o kneel_v that_o can_v be_v desire_v and_o therefore_o if_o any_o of_o you_o shall_v yet_o neglect_v to_o kneel_v while_o the_o prayer_n be_v read_v they_o will_v give_v we_o too_o much_o cause_n to_o call_v their_o religion_n into_o question_n or_o to_o suspect_v they_o have_v none_o at_o all_o for_o if_o they_o have_v they_o dare_v not_o they_o can_v not_o offer_v such_o a_o manifest_a affront_n to_o the_o great_a creator_n of_o the_o world_n as_o to_o carry_v themselves_o no_o otherwise_o while_o they_o pray_v to_o he_o then_o as_o if_o they_o be_v converse_v with_o their_o fellow_n creature_n but_o why_o do_v i_o speak_v of_o their_o pray_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v too_o much_o to_o be_v fear_v they_o do_v not_o pray_v at_o all_o nor_o come_v to_o church_n for_o any_o better_a purpose_n then_o only_o to_o see_v and_o be_v see_v i_o be_o sure_a they_o perform_v no_o act_n of_o external_n worship_n or_o adoration_n unto_o god_n nor_o show_v he_o that_o respect_n and_o reverence_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o give_v very_o great_a offence_n to_o all_o pious_a and_o devout_a christian_n whereas_o if_o all_o and_o every_o person_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v always_o be_v upon_o their_o knee_n while_o they_o put_v up_o their_o petition_n to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n what_o a_o mighty_a advantage_n will_v this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a but_o to_o the_o whole_a congregation_n in_o general_n for_o as_o every_o one_o will_v by_o this_o mean_n keep_v his_o heart_n more_o steadfast_a in_o the_o true_a fear_n and_o dread_n of_o god_n and_o likewise_o more_o certain_o obtain_v the_o good_a thing_n he_o pray_v for_o as_o the_o father_n frequent_o assert_v so_o the_o whole_a congregation_n also_o will_v be_v very_o much_o edify_v by_o it_o for_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o shall_v excite_v and_o inflame_v each_o other_o devotion_n confirm_v and_o strengthen_v one_o another_o faith_n and_o convince_v both_o ourselves_o and_o all_o that_o see_v we_o that_o religion_n be_v indeed_o a_o serious_a thing_n and_o that_o we_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v so_o by_o our_o serve_a god_n with_o so_o
