P. 411. But yet as sinful as this Gesture was imposed, for my part I did obey the imposers, and would do, if it were to be done again: rather than disturb the peace of the Church, or be deprived of its Communion; for God having made some Gesture necessary, and confined me to none, but left it to human determination, I shall submit to Magistrates in their proper work, even when they miss it in the manner; ⟨p. 4⟩I am not sure that Christ intended the example of himself, and his Apostles, as obligatory to us that shall succeed; I am sure it proves sitting lawful, but I am not sure that it proves it necessary, (tho' very convenient) but I am sure he hath commanded me obedience and peace.
