sure_o the_o prince_n and_o prelate_n of_o this_o church_n proceed_v to_o the_o reformation_n of_o superstition_n and_o abuse_n creep_v into_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n by_o the_o corruption_n of_o popery_n according_a to_o some_o rule_n or_o canon_n and_o propose_v to_o themselves_o to_o go_v by_o a_o even_a way_n that_o be_v so_o to_o reform_v that_o they_o may_v withal_o restore_v the_o church_n to_o her_o ancient_a purity_n in_o which_o respect_n they_o endeavour_v to_o take_v away_o the_o multitude_n of_o idle_a and_o superfluous_a ceremony_n that_o make_v the_o state_n of_o christianity_n more_o intolerable_a than_o the_o state_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v and_o to_o retain_v such_o gesture_n and_o ceremony_n which_o they_o find_v true_o ancient_a and_o reasonable_a their_o meaning_n be_v not_o to_o make_v a_o new_a church_n but_o to_o reform_v according_a to_o the_o first_o and_o primitive_a and_o apostolical_a institution_n for_o that_o which_o be_v first_o that_o be_v true_a their_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o take_v the_o crooked_a staff_n and_o bow_v it_o so_o far_o from_o one_o extreme_a to_o another_o that_o from_o superstition_n they_o will_v present_o decline_v to_o prophanesse_n but_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o make_v a_o stay_n in_o the_o golden_a mean_n neither_o retain_v all_o ceremony_n lest_o religion_n may_v seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o external_a pomp_n and_o gesticulation_n neither_o reject_v all_o lest_o religion_n have_v lose_v all_o external_a majesty_n may_v appear_v naked_a and_o soon_o decay_v at_o the_o heart_n among_o those_o ceremony_n retain_v this_o prostration_n and_o kneel_v be_v one_o as_o be_v ancient_a than_o popery_n and_o fetch_v his_o pedigree_n from_o the_o first_o father_n and_o martyr_n in_o the_o

celebration_n of_o this_o holy_a mystery_n he_o must_v withal_o strike_v out_o all_o subjection_n and_o humility_n out_o of_o this_o service_n and_o come_v pompous_o glorioussy_n and_o pharisaical_o as_o if_o he_o be_v fellow_n and_o equal_a with_o our_o bless_a saviour_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o bless_a trinity_n that_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o this_o great_a feast_n for_o if_o christ_n be_v god_n why_o shall_v he_o not_o be_v adore_v in_o his_o word_n in_o his_o sacrament_n in_o his_o worship_n and_o in_o all_o part_n of_o christian_a duty_n and_o if_o the_o jew_n synagogue_n have_v power_n to_o turn_v stand_v into_o sit_v at_o the_o passeover_n as_o some_o think_v though_o i_o be_v not_o of_o their_o opinion_n they_o do_v after_o the_o captivity_n why_o have_v not_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n power_n to_o change_v sit_v or_o lie_v and_o lean_v into_o kneel_v which_o be_v the_o fit_a gesture_n to_o represent_v subjection_n and_o humility_n so_o the_o church_n of_o england_n reform_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n have_v learned_a and_o practise_v by_o her_o example_n to_o prostrate_v and_o kneel_v at_o the_o receipt_n of_o those_o great_a and_o sacred_a mystery_n in_o which_o i_o dispute_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n of_o necessity_n or_o a_o ceremony_n of_o indifferency_n i_o conceive_v upon_o reason_n in_o my_o own_o judgement_n that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n or_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n not_o to_o be_v omit_v in_o public_a and_o solemn_a adoration_n but_o in_o case_n of_o evident_a necessity_n if_o
