Sect. 10. Kneel at Sacra.
[Concerning Kneeling at the Sacrament we have given account already: only thus much we add, that we conceive it an error to say that the Scripture affirms the Apostles to have received not-kneeling. The posture of the Paschal Supper we know, but the institution of the holy Sacrament was after Supper; and what posture was then used the Scripture is silent. The Rubr. at the end of the 1. Ed. C. that leaves kneeling, crossing, &c. indifferent, is meant only at such times as they are not prescribed, and required. But at the Eucharist, kneeling is expressly required in the Rubr. following.]
