Q. 1Whether when we receive the Lords Supper, should we kneel, stand or fit?
- 1Theol. loc. Q. 43.
A. Respondet Whitakerus, saith Maccovius, to kneel doth not only exclude the Rites of the Institution, but doth much violate the second Commandment concerning shunning Idolatry.
To stand about the Lords-Table, doth partake of the Rites, and detracts nothing from the Institution.
But to partake, sitting is the most convenient, because by this neither are the rites of Institution violated; nor doth it attract danger of superstition, ⟨p. 39⟩or Idolatry; but this gesture is commended by the example of Christ himself in the first Institution, and of the Apostles after the Institution. Thus he; with whom Maccovius agrees.
