The third THESE.
THE Apostles, and Christs Church founded by them, did vse to celebrate a publike feast in their Assemblies, which was called Agape, or the Feast of Charitie: because in it the poore were relieued by the rich: after which, their custome was to celebrate the Lords Supper, all lying on Carpets, Cushens, or the like, as Christ did: which custome continued in many places, many hundred yeeres, but the Catholike Church did change this custome both of lying and ea∣ting after Supper: which change is allowed of by those, who in our time haue brought in the gesture of sitting at table in receiuing the Communion. And therefore, there is no reason, but they should as well allow of the change of lying into kneeling.
