if_o you_o can_v demonstrate_v that_o this_o gesture_n be_v either_o use_v as_o a_o proper_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n or_o else_o that_o it_o receive_v from_o we_o that_o popish_a adoration_n which_o you_o pretend_v then_o may_v you_o with_o one_o breath_n justify_v your_o opposition_n against_o the_o church_n and_o condemn_v her_o imposition_n of_o such_o rite_n upon_o you_o but_o that_o

preposition_n of_o by_o in_o before_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v consequent_o to_o forbid_v we_o to_o pray_v by_o or_o with_o our_o tongue_n the_o instrument_n of_o adoration_n

say_v they_o do_v reverence_n to_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v idolatrous_a our_o answer_n we_o expect_v that_o you_o will_v at_o least_o have_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v in_o our_o manner_n of_o
