Certain discourses, viz. of Babylon (Rev. 18. 4.) being the present See of Rome (with a sermon of Bishop Beadles upon the same words) of laying on of hands (Heb. 6. 2.) to be an ordained ministry, of the old form of words in ordination, of a set form of prayer : each being the judgment of the late Arch-bishop of Armagh, and Primate of Ireland / published and enlarged by Nicholas Bernard ... : unto which is added a character of Bishop Bedel, and an answer to Mr. Pierces fifth letter concerning the late Primate.Certain discourses, viz. of Babylon (Rev. 18. 4.) being the present See of Rome (with a sermon of Bishop Bedels upon the same words) of laying on of hands (Heb. 6. 2.) to be an ordained ministry, of the old form of words in ordination, of a set form of prayer : each being the judgment of the late Arch-bishop of Armagh, and Primate of Ireland / published and enlarged by Nicholas Bernard ... : unto which is added a character of Bishop Bedel, and an answer to Mr. Pierces fifth letter concerning the late Primate.

A second which is allowed, is standing, 2 Chron. 20. 5. Jehoshaphat stood and prayed, &c. (Nehem. 9. 14.) At a solemn fast, the Priests and people stood, and confessed their sins: allowed by our Saviour (Marc. 11. 25.) when thou standest praying; sitting is no fit gesture for it: as even *Amesius confirms it. Sessio non est gestus orandi, which is not justified by that of David, (2 Sam. 7. 18.) who upon the Message from God by Nathan, is said presently to have went ⟨p. 337⟩in, and sate before the Lord and prayed, or that of the Israelites, (Judg. 20. 26.) Who at their solemn Fasts are said to have wept, and sate before the Lord till Even; because the same word is frequently, and as properly rendered elsewhere; to remain, abide, or tarry in a place, as Genes. 27. 44. tarrying with him, &c. Lev. 4. 8. he shall tarry abroad, 1 Sam. 1. 23. tarry till thou have weaned him, &c. cap. 20. 29. thou shalt remain at the stone, &c. and so here, both for David and the Israelites, the sense is, only they continued or remained before the Lord in prayer and fasting, as that of Matth. 4. the people which sate in darkness, &c. can be meant in no other. Our Saviours sitting at the right hand of his Father, hath as well the sense of standing, according ⟨p. 338⟩to Saint Stephens vision of him, Acts 7. 56
