what_o manner_n and_o gesture_n be_v most_o decent_a to_o be_v use_v thereat_o sect_n 2._o that_o kneel_v be_v decent_a as_o it_o be_v true_a that_o no_o place_n be_v more_o proper_a for_o a_o common_a supper_n than_o a_o fair_a chamber_n or_o a_o hall_n in_o a_o private_a house_n or_o inn_n and_o no_o time_n fit_a than_o the_o night_n season_n or_o at_o even_o so_o there_o be_v no_o

as_o to_o receive_v before_o other_o meat_n be_v more_o decent_a for_o the_o sacrament_n because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o common_a supper_n but_o the_o lord_n supper_n so_o a_o religious_a gesture_n such_o as_o kneel_v shall_v seem_v more_o decent_a than_o a_o common_a gesture_n such_o as_o sit_v because_o this_o be_v not_o a_o common_a table_n but_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n sect_n 3._o a_o objection_n take_v from_o the_o common_a tablegesture_n answer_v it_o may_v be_v reply_v that_o see_v there_o be_v a_o material_a table_n whereon_o very_a bread_n and_o very_a wine_n be_v set_v and_o see_v we_o eat_v that_o bread_n and_o drink_v that_o wine_n external_o as_o we_o do_v other_o bread_n and_o other_o wine_n why_o shall_v we_o not_o use_v that_o same_o external_a gesture_n that_o we_o use_v at_o other_o common-table_n as_o most_o decent_a for_o the_o outward_a action_n i_o answer_v first_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n betwixt_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o the_o gesture_n and_o sit_v of_o body_n that_o man_n use_v when_o they_o eat_v and_o drink_v eat_v and_o drink_v be_v natural_a action_n in_o stead_n whereof_o no_o other_o action_n can_v be_v use_v in_o receive_v meat_n and_o drink_v but_o the_o gesture_n be_v moral_a and_o voluntary_a and_o changeable_a according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o time_n place_n and_o person_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o action_n wherein_o it_o be_v use_v and_o therefore_o although_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v external_o at_o this_o table_n as_o we_o do_v at_o other_o table_n because_o we_o can_v eat_v and_o drink_v no_o other_o way_n it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v use_v no_o other_o gesture_n then_o that_o which_o we_o use_v at_o other_o table_n if_o the_o nature_n and_o quality_n of_o this_o table_n require_v another_o gesture_n then_o that_o which_o be_v common_a see_v the_o gesture_n be_v voluntary_a and_o may_v and_o shall_v be_v alter_v as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o action_n require_v next_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v material_o the_o same_o with_o common_a bread_n and_o wine_n yet_o after_o the_o consecration_n they_o be_v no_o more_o formal_o the_o
lord_n inheritance_n but_o in_o humility_n serve_v one_o another_o and_o feed_v the_o flock_n commit_v to_o their_o charge_n this_o last_o reason_n will_v neither_o teach_v they_o nor_o we_o to_o match_v ourselves_o with_o our_o lord_n &_o master_n but_o to_o submit_v ourselves_o to_o our_o equal_n the_o first_o show_v that_o as_o in_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o part_n of_o his_o ministry_n so_o in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o sacrament_n although_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o giver_n of_o the_o inward_a and_o spiritual_a grace_n yet_o he_o do_v carry_v himself_o as_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o external_a element_n which_o person_n now_o the_o pastor_n sustain_v and_o he_o exalt_v at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o father_n have_v declare_v himself_o to_o have_v lay_v down_o the_o person_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o to_o be_v no_o more_o a_o external_a minister_n but_o the_o lord_n and_o giver_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o inward_a grace_n by_o send_v down_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o heaven_n upon_o the_o apostle_n he_o then_o who_o now_o will_v sit_v with_o he_o as_o his_o fellow_n must_v either_o bring_v he_o down_o from_o heaven_n and_o abase_v he_o again_o in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n or_o else_o he_o must_v exalt_v himself_o to_o sit_v with_o he_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o the_o throne_n of_o majesty_n in_o the_o high_a place_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n in_o this_o action_n think_v and_o esteem_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o person_n that_o he_o sustain_v and_o the_o carriage_n that_o he_o
