because the fame Authority which requires our kneeling therein, has declared in the Rubrick at the end of the Office of Communion, That no Adoration is thereby. intended, or ought to de done to the Bread and Wine, or to any Corporal Prefence of Chrifts Natural Flesh and Blood, but is intended and meant for a fignification and grateful Acknowledgement, of the benefits of Christ therein given. By this we fee all appearance and fufpicion of requiring kneeling in order to any Bread-Worship, is quite taken away.

4. Standing is a Gesture of Adoration as well as kneeling, Mark xi. 25. and yet the Diffenters do not think

it Unlawful for that reafon to receive the Sacrament ftanding. And if its being a Gesture of Adoration be no juft exception against the Use of it in receiving the Sacrament, then the Adoration fuppofed or implyed in the Gefture. of kneeling, can be no just exception against the Ufe of that Gefture neither, in the performance of the fame Duty.

5. Kneeling its being a Gefture of Adoration is fo far from making the Ufe of it unlawful in receiving the Sacrament, as that it is the great reason why it is not unlawful but fit and convenient. For no good Chriftian will deny but that it highly becomes us inwardly to Adore our Blessed Saviour in the Act of

re

receiving the Bread and Wine, for his wonderful love in dying for us, and for giving his Flesh for the Life of the world, and if fo, then it cannot be incongruous or unfit to express and fignifie this internal Act of Adoration, by another that is external ; for we are to Worship and Glorifie him both in our Bodies and our Spirits.

And now me thinks no man aho understands and confiders these things, fhould be able to think it Unlawful to kncel in receiving the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of our Blessed Saviour.
