Ans. 1. Put the case it were so, yet it hath been often answered them, that the Apostles kept the Table gesture, used in that Nation, and so are we bound herein to follow their example, by keeping the table gesture used in this Nation. For this keeping of the usual table gesture of the Nation wherein we live, is not a forsaking, but a following of the commendable example of the Apostles: even as whereas they drank the Wine which was drunk in that place, and we drink the Wine which is drunk in this place, yet do we not hereby differ from that which they did.

Calepine, Scapula, and Thomasius, in their Dictionaries, take [Greek or Hebrew], & the Latin words Discumbo, Recumbo, Accumbo (used by Arias Montanus, Beza, Marlorat, Tremellius, &c, in their versions) not only for lying, but also for such sitting, as is opponed to lying; even for sitting up right at Table, after our custom.
