therefore_o we_o answer_v brief_o unto_o they_o 1._o first_o we_o dislike_v not_o simple_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o external_a reverence_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n for_o we_o condemn_v not_o the_o church_n of_o england_n much_o less_o the_o ancient_a and_o universal_a church_n in_o this_o behalf_n it_o be_v do_v upon_o good_a and_o sufficient_a knowledge_n without_o superstition_n and_o without_o opinion_n of_o necessity_n according_a to_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o church_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o mr._n hooker_n lib._n 5_o 5_o 30._o confess_v in_o express_a word_n touch_v this_o external_a act_n of_o reverence_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n no_o man_n be_v constrain_v to_o use_v it_o by_o avy_z obligation_n of_o divine_a law_n or_o humane_a 2._o second_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o external_a act_n of_o reverence_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n have_v be_v usual_o practise_v in_o the_o time_n of_o divin_n service_n not_o whensoever_o man_n do_v stand_v &_o when_o in_o the_o time_n of_o their_o stand_v the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v sound_v forth_o for_o we_o do_v stand_v at_o the_o recitation_n of_o the_o cr●ed_n where_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o jesus_n with_o no_o bow_n of_o the_o knee_n but_o at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o the_o canon_n must_v be_v understand_v peculiar_o of_o that_o custom_n when_o it_o require_v a_o reverence_n as_o it_o have_v be_v accustom_v if_o any_o ceremonialist_n will_v contend_v with_o i_o in_o this_o point_n let_v the_o same_o mr._n hooker_n in_o the_o same_o place_n be_v a_o arbitratour_n betwixt_o we_o to_o decide_v the_o controversy_n because_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v weekly_o read_v do_v all_o historical_o declare_v something_o which_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v or_o suffer_v in_o his_o own_o person_n it_o have_v be_v the_o custom_n of_o christian_a man_n then_o especial_o in_o token_n of_o the_o great_a reverence_n to_o stand_v to_o utter_v certain_a word_n of_o acclamation_n glory_n be_v to_o thou_o o_o lord_n and_o at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n to_o bow_v it_o be_v therefore_o a_o custom_n ancient_o so_o to_o do_v but_o i_o find_v in_o antiquity_n no_o canon_n to_o establish_v it_o and_o very_o general_a custom_n be_v not_o sufficient_a in_o this_o behalf_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o s._n austin_n ep._n 118._o much_o less_o be_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o necessary_a observation_n by_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o to_o declare_v this_o point_n yet_o more_o plain_o zozomen_n hist._n eccl._n 7._o c._n 19_o relate_v sundry_a different_a custom_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n write_v thus_o it_o be_v a_o new_a custom_n in_o the_o church_n alexandria_n that_o the_o bishop_n there_o do_v not_o rise_v up_o at_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o custom_n i_o have_v neither_o find_v nor_o read_v of_o in_o any_o other_o place_n so_o that_o leave_v the_o bishop_n of_o alexandria_n to_o their_o own_o reason_n herein_o and_o defence_n for_o this_o diversity_n of_o their_o practice_n contrary_a to_o the_o general_a action_n of_o the_o church_n i_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o the_o scripture_n bind_v any_o nor_o that_o the_o canon_n or_o custom_n bind_v all_o to_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o ceremonial_a act_n which_o the_o profound_a ceremonialist_n partly_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o partly_o by_o authority_n of_o the_o canon_n will_v enforce_v upon_o their_o brethren_n and_o this_o may_v suffice_v concern_v the_o cannon_n in_o this_o behalf_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v not_o offend_v they_o i_o can_v press_v they_o further_o with_o the_o relation_n of_o a_o ancient_a and_o very_a learned_a bishop_n well_o who_o be_v present_a at_o the_o make_n of_o this_o

they_o must_v be_v in_o subjection_n to_o his_o power_n so_o he_o well_o i_o will_v leave_v this_o particular_a as_o perhaps_o offensive_a though_o true_a and_o i_o will_v confirm_v it_o if_o need_n

in_o the_o balance_n of_o a_o true_a judgement_n and_o of_o a_o upright_a conscience_n 1._o first_o though_o i_o have_v often_o and_o curious_o note_v the_o behaviour_n of_o the_o principal_a author_n of_o this_o canon_n in_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o read_n of_o the_o gospel_n yet_o i_o can_v never_o see_v they_o perform_v any_o external_a act_n of_o reverence_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n 2._o second_o though_o many_o good_a christian_n bow_v not_o their_o knee_n or_o bend_v their_o body_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n in_o the_o time_n of_o divine_a service_n or_o sermon_n yet_o this_o omission_n of_o outward_a compliment_n proceed_v not_o from_o a_o want_n of_o due_a &_o hearty_a reverence_n to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n but_o because_o the_o ceremonialist_n will_v impose_v it_o upon_o they_o by_o a_o plain_a misconstruction_n of_o the_o scripture_n therefore_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a by_o such_o a_o act_n of_o reverence_n to_o give_v testimony_n and_o approbation_n to_o such_o a_o plain_a ignorant_a misconstruction_n of_o the_o text_n though_o otherwise_o they_o may_v be_v tractable_a to_o perform_v it_o according_a to_o knowledge_n and_o to_o show_v their_o obedience_n to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n which_o yet_o do_v not_o compel_v man_n to_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o ceremony_n for_o as_o it_o have_v be_v intermit_v in_o many_o congregation_n and_o by_o disuse_n be_v whole_o lay_v aside_o so_o we_o do_v not_o hear_v that_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o canon_n either_o any_o minister_n be_v bring_v

the_o scripture_n be_v take_v in_o the_o true_a proper_a and_o literal_a sense_n which_o the_o learn_a in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n do_v also_o confess_v we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o scripture_n have_v but_o one_o true_a proper_a &_o literal_a sense_n the_o sense_n of_o it_o be_v the_o very_a form_n of_o it_o and_o every_o thing_n have_v but_o one_o form_n as_o reason_n and_o

not_o always_o that_o which_o the_o word_n do_v bear_v immediate_o in_o their_o grammatical_a signification_n but_o that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v sometime_o proper_a as_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n sometime_o improper_a or_o methaphoricall_a as_o christ_n be_v a_o vine_n a_o dore._n now_o if_o the_o word_n be_v improper_a and_o metaphorical_a as_o we_o shall_v see_v anon_o we_o must_v note_v that_o as_o d●s_v whitaker_n do_v true_o advertise_v bellarmine_n the_o improper_a word_n carry_v not_o in_o they_o the_o literal_a sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n immediate_o for_o then_o great_a absurdity_n will_v follow_v but_o mediate_o that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o they_o be_v reduce_v unto_o proper_a word_n as_o here_o bow_v the_o knee_n at_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n be_v a_o improper_a or_o methaphoricall_a speech_n and_o be_v reduce_v to_o this_o proper_a speech_n viz._n a_o subjection_n of_o the_o creature_n to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o true_a

our_o understanding_n not_o a_o outward_a ceremony_n of_o bow_v the_o knee_n of_o the_o body_n but_o a_o real_a subject_n on_o of_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n earth_n and_o hell_n unto_o the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o as_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n also_o now_o exalt_v unto_o glory_n whereas_o therefore_o s._n paul_n say_v god_n
