we_o there_o worship_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v itself_o a_o subordinate_a act_n of_o worship_n so_o to_o stand_v or_o kneel_v at_o prayer_n and_o not_o to_o sit_v though_o in_o scripture_n we_o

than_o the_o other_o the_o same_o i_o say_v of_o the_o gesture_n of_o preach_v which_o some_o do_v sit_v with_o their_o hat_n on_o and_o other_o stand_v to_o avoid_v a_o seem_a dishonour_n of_o god_n

and_o eye_n lift_v up_o towards_o heaven_n old_a mr._n atkins_n at_o tipton_n near_o dudley_n do_v thus_o use_v to_o show_v such_o reverence_n when_o he_o name_v god_n that_o will_v strike_v
