demonstration_n enough_o against_o such_o a_o odious_a supposition_n of_o our_o believe_a christ_n corporal_o present_v there_o we_o do_v not_o then_o give_v they_o this_o great_a suspicion_n it_o

of_o the_o revelation_n if_o they_o add_v to_o the_o word_n there_o write_v sure_o i_o be_o that_o in_o whatever_o posture_n the_o apostle_n be_v first_o admit_v which_o be_v uncertain_a yet_o it_o

sure_a christ_n will_v not_o have_v allow_v any_o unfitting_a posture_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n the_o dissenter_n can_v deny_v but_o that_o the_o word_n of_o administration_n the_o body_n of_o our_o

unlawful_a to_o pray_v thus_o solemn_o to_o the_o most_o high_a god_n in_o a_o sit_v posture_n because_o it_o be_v simple_o unlawful_a to_o pray_v most_o solemn_o in_o a_o unpray_v posture_n if_o i_o
