what_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v why_o we_o shall_v not_o obey_v authority_n by_o worship_v god_n after_o a_o lawful_a and_o reverend_a manner_n yea_o consider_v have_v you_o not_o learned_a that_o the_o second_o commandment_n require_v a_o observance_n of_o all_o the_o moral_a and_o positive_a worship_n of_o god_n and_o do_v as_o well_o require_v that_o we_o shall_v bow_v down_o and_o worship_v the_o true_a god_n in_o his_o own_o ordinance_n as_o forbid_v the_o worship_v and_o bow_v down_o to_o idol_n certain_o here_o be_v warrant_n to_o bow_v down_o to_o god_n when_o we_o worship_v he_o and_o if_o kneel_v be_v bow_v down_o and_o this_o sacrament_n be_v a_o part_n of_o worship_n we_o have_v plain_a warrant_n to_o kneel_v at_o the_o sacrament_n will_v you_o say_v that_o kneel_v be_v a_o fit_a posture_n only_o when_o we_o pray_v this_o may_v well_o be_v question_v yet_o let_v it_o be_v heed_v there_o be_v prayer_n use_v when_o you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n the_o minister_n

be_v it_o not_o a_o lawful_a gesture_n and_o require_v of_o we_o by_o lawful_a authority_n and_o have_v not_o those_o very_a power_n that_o require_v kneel_v take_v away_o all_o fear_n of_o idolatry_n
