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

word_n our_o dull_a affection_n be_v not_o stir_v up_o to_o worship_n god_n but_o either_o by_o the_o contemplation_n of_o his_o work_n or_o meditation_n in_o his_o word_n or_o consideration_n of_o his_o holy_a sacrament_n so_o that_o if_o we_o take_v away_o all_o occasional_a worship_n before_o a_o creature_n we_o must_v needs_o destroy_v all_o religion_n vi_o i_o desire_v the_o disputer_n and_o his_o fellow_n to_o remember_v that_o many_o of_o their_o own_o faction_n in_o england_n though_o they_o kneel_v not_o in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v yet_o they_o do_v kneel_v in_o blessing_n of_o the_o element_n and_o give_v thanks_n and_o they_o themselves_o use_v to_o stand_v &_o exhort_v the_o people_n to_o humble_v themselves_o and_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o a_o blessing_n here_o be_v worship_n before_o the_o element_n with_o a_o religious_a respect_n unto_o they_o for_o which_o they_o have_v no_o more_o warrant_n either_o by_o commandment_n or_o by_o the_o example_n of_o christ_n institution_n than_o we_o have_v for_o kneel_v in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v and_o of_o the_o twain_o it_o seem_v rather_o to_o be_v idolatry_n to_o worship_v in_o behold_v the_o element_n then_o in_o receive_v of_o they_o for_o no_o man_n can_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o worship_v that_o which_o he_o be_v tear_v with_o his_o tooth_n vii_o they_o sit_v uncover_v before_o the_o element_n with_o a_o religious_a respect_n unto_o they_o which_o they_o use_v not_o to_o do_v in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n now_o uncover_v the_o head_n be_v a_o gesture_n of_o worship_n as_o well_o

daily_a use_v by_o the_o priest_n in_o the_o mass_n and_o sometime_o weep_v which_o have_v be_v abuse_v to_o idolatry_n as_o by_o the_o woman_n who_o the_o prophet_n see_v mourn_v for_o tammuz_n 8.14_o ezek._n 8.14_o a_o prophet_n of_o a_o idol_n for_o who_o there_o be_v a_o solemn_a mourning_n once_o a_o year_n in_o the_o night_n yet_o have_v i_o see_v many_o of_o their_o disciple_n not_o only_o lift_v up_o their_o eye_n and_o hand_n unto_o heaven_n but_o also_o weep_v when_o they_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o as_o i_o charitable_o believe_v out_o of_o a_o godly_a sense_n of_o their_o own_o misery_n and_o of_o god_n mercy_n now_o be_v it_o not_o strange_a if_o our_o kneel_v only_o shall_v be_v idolatrous_a and_o not_o also_o those_o other_o gesture_n which_o be_v
