Although it be not of necessity / that we should receive the communion sitting / yet there is the same cause of abolishing kneeling / that there is of removing the wafer cake / and if there be danger of superstition in one (as M. Doctor confesseth) why is there not danger in the other? And if there be men that take occasion to fall at the one / and that by superstition / how cometh it to pass that M. Doctor in the. 180. page / sayeth that neither gospeller / nor papists obstinate nor simple / can superstitiously offend in this kneeling / when as the kneeling carieth a greater show of worship / and Imprinteth in the minds of the ignorant a stronger opinion and a deeper print of adoration / then the sight of a round •ake. And if kneeling be so void of all fault / as M. Doctor would make us believe / ⟨p. 166⟩how came it to pass / that in King Edwards days / there was a protestation added in the book of prayer / to clear that gesture from adoration.
