Whereas he saith, that the blessed Sacrament is instituted by Christ to call to our remembrance his death, this inferreth not that it is an occasion of thanksgiving and praise in the very act of receiving, as we shall see afterward. Our question is only about kneeling in the act of receiving. 3. We confess, that the Sacrament is an occasion of Inward worship, in the receiving of it. For pin Eucharistia exercetur summa Fides, Spes, Charitas, Religio, caeteraeque virtutes, quibus Deum colimus & glorificamus. but the outward adoration of kneeling down upon our knees, can be no more occasioned by the blessed Sacrament, in the act of receiving it, then by a graven Image in the act of beholding it. The point which the B. had to prove, is, that whereas an Image can not be the occasion of outward adoration and kneeling to God before it, in the act of looking upon it; the Sacrament may be, and is an occasion of kneeling, when it is set before us in the act of receiving. This neither he, nor any for him, shall ever make good.
