A10973	Two dialogues, or conferences (about an old question lately renued, and by the schismaticall company, both by printed pamphlets, and otherwise to the disturbance of the Churches quiet, and of peaceable minds, very hotly pursued.) Concerning kneeling in the very act of receiuing the sacramental bread and wine, in the Supper of the Lord The former betweene two ministers of the word, the one refractarie, and depriued; the other not so. The latter betweene an humorous schismatike and a setled professor.	Rogers, Thomas, d. 1616.	1608 (1608)	STC 21241; ESTC S116109	75,976	132

kneel_v at_o our_o chief_a prayer_n and_o praising_n of_o god_n be_v a_o communicate_v with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n we_o will_v also_o most_o willing_o communicate_v withal_o in_o their_o

make_v show_n of_o great_a devotion_n at_o kneel_v than_o to_o profane_a person_n in_o sit_v at_o the_o communion_n a_o sign_n of_o no_o devotion_n or_o of_o very_o small_a especial_o in_o these_o
