As for the other examples here alleged, God was immediately present, in and-with the Ark, the Temple, the holy Mountain, the Bush, the Cloud, and the Fire which came from Heaven, speaking and manifesting himself to his people by his own immediate voice, and miraculous extraordinary presence: So that worshipping before these things had the same reason which makes cthe 24 Elders in Heaven worship before the Throne. For in these things, God did immediately manifest his presence, as well as in heaven. Though there be a difference in the degrees of the immediate manifestation of his presence in Earth, and in Heaven, yet magn & minus non variant speciem. Now God is present in the Sacrament, not extraordinarily, but in the way of an ordinary dispensation, not immediately but mediately. They must therefore allege some commendable examples of such a kneeling as we dispute about, in a mediate and ordinary worship, else they say nothing to the point.
