A02930	The curtaine of Church-povver and authoritie in things called indifferent Drawne and laid open, to shew the many infectious sores and maladies they bring in, and cover. Together with sundry infallible reasons, proving that the service of God, and the generall good of the Church and common wealth require that they should be abolished.

be_v christ_n that_o as_o it_o feed_v and_o save_v our_o body_n from_o perish_v so_o do_v christ_n our_o soul_n that_o as_o his_o promise_n be_v to_o save_v all_o that_o believe_v in_o he_o receive_v and_o feed_v on_o those_o promise_n so_o he_o ordain_v this_o sacrament_n as_o a_o sign_n and_o seal_v of_o the_o same_o to_o every_o true_a believer_n to_o who_o in_o particular_a it_o be_v give_v

his_o way_n and_o for_o what_o be_v past_a to_o remember_v our_o sin_n no_o more_o and_o each_o man_n take_v the_o sacrament_n as_o a_o assurance_n thereof_o to_o his_o own_o soul_n that_o groan_v under_o the_o burden_n of_o they_o the_o sacrament_n be_v best_a receive_v when_o we_o mind_n and_o believe_v these_o and_o the_o like_a thing_n and_o hunger_n and_o thirst_n for_o they_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o more_o need_n of_o kneel_v in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v then_o in_o hear_v the_o same_o offer_v in_o the_o word_n preach_v nor_o indeed_o so_o much_o prayer_n on_o our_o knee_n be_v necessary_a before_o receive_v that_o we_o may_v be_v prepare_v and_o receive_v accord_o and_o after_o receive_v to_o show_v all_o humble_a thankfulness_n but_o in_o give_v we_o this_o sacrament_n at_o his_o table_n the_o lord_n will_v show_v we_o a_o great_a favour_n as_o a_o great_a lord_n or_o prince_n do_v to_o a_o poor_a man_n when_o he_o call_v he_o to_o his_o table_n he_o require_v he_o not_o to_o come_v &_o eat_v kneel_v for_o that_o be_v not_o a_o action_n fit_v the_o intend_a favour_n nor_o the_o act_n of_o eat_v a_o supper_n it_o be_v the_o best_a part_n of_o

the_o reform_a church_n if_o any_o do_v yet_o reply_v it_o be_v better_a for_o man_n to_o command_v kneel_v in_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n though_o the_o apostle_n and_o other_o in_o their_o time_n receive_v it_o sit_v that_o be_v to_o infer_v that_o the_o like_a may_v be_v command_v that_o the_o witness_n shall_v kneel_v while_o a_o child_n be_v baptize_v or_o sprinkle_v that_o the_o king_n &_o

that_o the_o strike_n of_o the_o door_n post_v with_o blood_n be_v not_o after_o so_o necessary_a nor_o perhaps_o the_o eat_n of_o it_o in_o haste_n and_o with_o staff_n in_o their_o hand_n because_o the_o angel_n have_v then_o past_o their_o house_n and_o the_o journey_n into_o canaan_n be_v pass_v but_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o ceremony_n mention_v vers_fw-la 12._o be_v to_o remain_v 12._o

have_v the_o force_n of_o a_o precept_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v eat_v afer_fw-la the_o manner_n of_o a_o supper_n and_o the_o great_a difference_n and_o contrariety_n of_o gesture_n that_o can_v be_v

proper_o be_v call_v a_o change_n because_o man_n do_v oft_o eat_v stand_v and_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o when_o christ_n &_o after_o his_o ascension_n the_o apostle_n give_v the_o bread_n some_o may_v receive_v it_o stand_v beside_o the_o conveniency_n plead_v for_o the_o gesture_n for_o when_o as_o in_o diepe_a and_o paris_n and_o some_o other_o church_n of_o france_n there_o be_v about_o
