of_o our_o knee_n and_o that_o whole_a material_a part_n of_o adoration_n be_v direct_v towards_o the_o element_n in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v in_o so_o far_o that_o although_o the_o element_n be_v

of_o the_o outward_a adoration_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v direct_v towards_o they_o and_o therefore_o adoration_n before_o the_o bread_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o adoration_n of_o the_o bread_n even_o as_o the_o adoratien_n before_o the_o image_n the_o adoration_n of_o the_o image_n while_o the_o image_n to_o his_o mind_n that_o adore_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o sign_n bring_v the_o pattern_n to_o his_o remembrance_n 5._o since_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o divine_a worship_n one_o immediate_a as_o for_o exemple_n prayer_n thanksgiving_n the_o religious_a hear_n of_o the_o

suitable_a to_o use_v the_o gesture_n of_o adoration_n in_o prayer_n in_o thanksgiving_n and_o when_o we_o hear_v the_o immediate_a voice_n of_o god_n because_o no_o visible_a middle_n come_v in_o betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o that_o can_v be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o adoration_n but_o in_o the_o ordinary_a hear_n of_o the_o word_n at_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o preacher_n and_o in_o the_o act_n of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n it_o be_v neither_o suitable_a nor_o lawful_a to_o adore_v for_o that_o be_v to_o adore_v in_o a_o mediate_v worship_n or_o to_o adore_v mediatlie_o which_o both_o by_o force_n of_o truth_n and_o confession_n of_o both_o side_n must_v be_v idolatry_n 6._o it_o be_v therefore_o unlawful_a to_o adore_v before_o the_o bread_n or_o to_o kneel_v in_o the_o very_a act_n of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n not_o only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o danger_n of_o bread_n worship_n wherein_o the_o bread_n be_v adore_v in_o stead_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o ignorant_a multitude_n neither_o be_v it_o only_o unlawful_a because_o it_o be_v idolatry_n to_o adore_v before_o the_o bread_n for_o reverence_n and_o due_a regard_n of_o the_o sacrament_n which_o can_v not_o be_v avoid_v by_o they_o who_o adore_v according_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o article_n of_o perth_n assembly_n but_o it_o be_v also_o unlawful_a because_o adoration_n before_o the_o bread_n even_o in_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o action_n itself_o be_v idolatry_n neither_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o any_o man_n to_o make_v his_o adoration_n before_o the_o bread_n not_o to_o be_v idolatry_n except_o he_o will_v take_v away_o the_o element_n that_o be_v the_o sacrament_n itself_o from_o the_o sacrament_n which_o be_v impossible_a 7._o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v to_o be_v

since_o neither_o the_o euangelifl_n nor_o the_o apostle_n paul_n have_v write_v so_o much_o as_o one_o word_n which_o may_v give_v the_o least_o suspicion_n or_o ground_n of_o conjecture_n that_o

the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v a_o holy_a feast_n or_o banquet_n and_o since_o by_o so_o do_v the_o whole_a institution_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v very_o many_o way_n deface_v by_o kneel_v
