we_o have_v proper_a occasion_n for_o it_o both_o before_o and_o after_o this_o mystical_a feast_n and_o in_o that_o we_o do_v use_v a_o worship_a posture_n and_o as_o none_o that_o know_v our_o

little_o concern_v in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o protestant_a church_n of_o poland_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o socinian_o if_o they_o think_v this_o rite_n of_o sit_v to_o be_v of_o ill_a

it_o have_v be_v abuse_v to_o the_o vile_a idolatry_n for_o his_o first_o answer_n that_o we_o be_v not_o require_v nor_o be_v it_o convenient_a to_o imitate_v all_o that_o christ_n do_v and_o that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n mention_n not_o this_o posture_n as_o any_o part_n of_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v from_o christ_n concern_v this_o sacrament_n i_o need_v only_a reply_n that_o it_o be_v

feast_n on_o christ_n sacrifice_n with_o the_o religious_a feast_n on_o the_o jewish_a once_o 1_o cor._n 10.16_o 17_o 18_o etc._n etc._n in_o which_o this_o posture_n be_v so_o universal_o receive_v that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o express_v it_o for_o his_o second_o answer_n that_o he_o have_v prove_v religious_a eat_n be_v accompany_v with_o bodily_a worship_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n in_o a_o table_n posture_n from_o the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o receive_v it_o kneel_v etc._n etc._n p._n 123_o 124._o repl._n it_o appear_v sufficient_o from_o what_o have_v be_v already_o allege_v that_o the_o bp._n confound_v the_o worship_n pay_v when_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v with_o the_o posture_n use_v when_o they_o come_v to_o feast_v upon_o it_o and_o i_o have_v already_o produce_v he_o undeniable_a evidence_n that_o they_o celebrate_v their_o religious_a feast_n upon_o sacrifice_n sit_v or_o in_o the_o same_o posture_n as_o their_o other_o meal_n and_o never_o kneel_v or_o in_o a_o worship_a posture_n and_o consequent_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o we_o shall_v receive_v it_o in_o a_o table-gesture_n we_o must_v receive_v it_o sit_v and_o not_o kneel_v for_o his_o three_o answer_n that_o our_o saviour_n be_v not_o at_o a_o common_a supper_n when_o he_o institute_v this_o sacrament_n but_o at_o the_o passover_n which_o be_v a_o sacramental_a eat_n and_o have_v a_o peculiar_a posture_n prescribe_v for_o it_o 12_o exod._n 11._o and_o though_o some_o think_v but_o without_o warrant_n from_o scripture_n that_o the_o jew_n do_v not_o observe_v this_o yet_o it_o be_v own_a they_o observe_v another_o which_o differ_v from_o

will_v find_v write_v with_o admirable_a judgement_n and_o much_o more_o grateful_a and_o instructive_a than_o those_o crude_a and_o indigested_a notion_n he_o have_v here_o offer_v there_o be_v several_a passage_n in_o what_o he_o say_v on_o this_o pretend_a principle_n of_o the_o dissenter_n which_o i_o have_v elsewhere_o take_v notice_n of_o and_o shall_v only_o add_v that_o whereas_o p._n 45._o he_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v no_o command_n in_o scripture_n require_v we_o to_o worship_n or_o pray_v to_o god_n in_o a_o conceive_v extemporary_a or_o unpremeditated_a form_n or_o so_o much_o as_o a_o example_n in_o a_o settle_v ordinary_a congregation_n where_o it_o be_v practise_v i_o hope_v i_o have_v already_o say_v enough_o to_o satisfy_v a_o unprejudiced_a reader_n that_o god_n command_n in_o reference_n to_o prayer_n do_v certain_o enjoin_v free_a prayer_n that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o command_n to_o pray_v in_o general_a by_o set_v form_n that_o there_o be_v no_o command_n for_o the_o use_n of_o any_o particular_a form_n unless_o the_o lord's-prayer_n which_o yet_o be_v but_o doubtful_a and_o that_o there_o be_v more_o example_n of_o free_a prayer_n in_o scripture_n than_o of_o prayer_n by_o prescribe_v form_n that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o evidence_n of_o any_o prescribe_a liturgy_n use_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n or_o in_o the_o 2_o or_o 3_o succeed_a age_n and_o consequent_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n to_o conclude_v they_o use_v free_a prayer_n or_o pray_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o their_o ability_n and_o gift_n so_o that_o we_o have_v far_o more_o probable_a ground_n to_o conclude_v prescribe_v liturgy_n of_o human_a composure_n destitute_a of_o scriptural_a precept_n and_o example_n and_o if_o his_o lp._n will_v on_o that_o

practice_n without_o such_o harsh_a reflection_n of_o that_o of_o other_o p._n 50._o his_o lp._n assert_n without_o the_o least_o proof_n that_o moses_n david_n and_o our_o saviour_n use_v form_n of_o

their_o prayer_n into_o form_n before_o they_o offer_v they_o up_o in_o the_o congregation_n he_o do_v not_o produce_v one_o instance_n relate_v to_o prayer_n in_o prose_n about_o which_o the_o only_a

have_v examine_v this_o first_o principle_n he_o charge_v the_o dissenter_n with_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o that_o all_o form_n of_o prayer_n be_v unlawful_a to_o christian_n and_o that_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o join_v in_o a_o worship_n where_o they_o be_v use_v or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o be_v present_a at_o it_o and_o this_o principle_n his_o lp._n take_v the_o pain_n to_o confute_v from_o p._n 57_o to_o p._n 65._o i_o do_v indeed_o perceive_v that_o he_o be_v better_o advise_v than_o to_o quote_v any_o writer_n among_o the_o dissenter_n for_o this_o strange_a opinion_n but_o since_o in_o his_o laborious_a confutation_n of_o it_o he_o all_o along_o suppose_v some_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o dissenter_n to_o be_v maintainer_n of_o it_o i_o must_v free_o tell_v his_o
