The Monk with the President & all his retinue, kneeled down twice, and called upon the virgin Mary:1 but the ministers and all the people stood still, and would not kneel, making no sign or token of reverence. As soon as the Monk had ended his Sermon, the people requested instantly, that their Minister might also be suffered to preach, affirming that the said Monk had spoken many things, which were not according to the word of God.
